There are multiple high-school sports teams from the Sun Gazette’s coverage areas that could win region championships this week.
In girls field hockey, the Madison Warhawks, Oakton Cougars and Yorktown Patriots from the coverage area had reached the region-tournament semifinals when the week began. All for are capable of winning the title.
In girls volleyball, Oakton, the Langley Saxons, McLean Highlanders and Washington-Liberty Generals were strong Sun Gazette teams in the region tourney that are among contenders.
In girls cross country, Madison, McLean and Oakton are contenders, with Oakton and Yorktown in the mix on the boys side. Those teams also have runners who could win individual region crowns.
We’ll see what happens by week’s end and how many region team champions, or not, that will be holding banners.
