Mason Girls, Boys Soccer Teams Win State Championships!
The George Mason High School boys and girls soccer teams both won the Class A State Championship today, overcoming the home field advantage enjoyed by opponent Radford High School in games played at Radford University.
The girls team won 3-2 this morning, securing their repeat as State Champs. Falls Church resident Dennis O’Rourke provided this description of the game.
“This was a hard fought game that was only decided in the final two minutes. Mason scored first then Radford scored 2 quick goals and it was 2-1 Radford at Halftime. Mason tied it up 2-2 and the tie continued until Violet Miller scored with 2 minutes left in the game.”
The Mustang boys team won 1-0, dousing the hopes of the Radford High boys team to become the first team in Virginia High School League history to win three state championships in a row.

“Nuff Said” what the heck is that about. This was a hard fought game that was only decided in the final two minutes.
Mason scored first then Radford scored 2 quick goals and it was 2-1 Radford at Halftime. Mason tied it up 2-2 and the tie continued until Violet Miller scored with 2 minutes left in the game.
Sorry. Probably should have said “that’s all I know!” I was getting my news via text message. Thanks for filling in the gaps.
