• Week #31 - Badgers Win Big on their Home Field!

  3/30/2026
  Girls Varsity Soccer - Throughout the first twenty-five minutes of the game, the Badgers kept the ball in their offensive zone. The team had several quality scoring chances, a few corner kicks and showed off precision passing. At the twenty-five minute mark, Hadley smashed a free-kick from about thirty feet away with such force that it left a hole in the net! The Badgers took a 1-0 lead, and from there, the flood gates opened!

   

  Catriona made a beautiful pass up the line, sending the ball Ruthie who found Althea just outside the box.  Althea launched a powerful shot, and got her toes under it, lofting the ball high into the air. The ball traveled in the shape of a rainbow, just over the outstretched arms of the WCDS goalie, and crashed into the pot of gold on the other end! .

• Week #31 - Superior to the Circumstance: Badgers Win at Woodberry in a Deluge!

  3/30/2026
  Varsity Track and Field - The tent provided little refuge: thirty mile an hour cross-winds made avoiding the freezing rain an impossible task. As the minutes went by and the deluge continued, several teams made the decision to pack up their belongings and leave. They missed some seriously impressive Track and Field action: since they left long before Jack Blemker (who also won the 3200) crossed the line to anchor an incredible race for the victorious Tandem Boys 4x400 team in what can only be described as awful running conditions. The Boys 4x400 was only .3 seconds off the VISAA qualifying time! Reflecting on the wet and cold experience, Coach Ned quoted Bruce Barton and shared with the team: "nothing splendid has ever been achieved except for by those who dared to believe that something inside them was superior to the circumstance."  

   

  The Badgers opened their Track and Field season with a big time win - defeating much larger schools including Woodberry, Blue Ridge, Collegiate, Madison and Trinity - and were, as always, truly superior to the circumstance. The action began in the throwing circle, where Levie tossed a soggy shot put through the rain 30' 9.5"! His throw is an improvement of over FIVE feet from his toss in 2025 - Levie added a ton of muscle over the summer! Tyler had a strong day in the circle as well: he threw 27'5", and also 56'5" in the discus - while Levie tossed the disc 60'9"!

• Week #30 - Protecting Home Field: Badgers Win a Close One on Their Home Pitch!

  3/27/2026
  Girls Varsity Soccer - Ruthie used her body to keep the defender on her back as she turned her body to make a precise pass into the middle of the field to Maeve. With excellent field vision, Maeve used a beautiful touch to move the ball into the box... and Althea did the rest. She dribbled right past her defender, planted her left leg, and drilled that ball into the back of the net past the outstretched arms of the goalie! Althea's goal gave the Badgers a 1-0 lead 31:00 into the first half. By that juncture of the game, RMA's goalie had seen over a dozen shots. Hadley had two breakaways early, getting deep into the box. Hattie was constantly pushing the ball forward, putting enormous pressure on the opposing defense. Late in the half, Catriona made a perfect throw in that landed right on Zoey's foot. She centered the ball to Nieve, who dribbled through traffic with precision. Nieve connected with Althea, who passed it wide to Zoey, who delivered it to Hattie in the box!

• Week #30 - Varsity Lacrosse and MS Soccer Make for a Fun Day on the Field!

  Varsity Boys Lacrosse - There were thirty seconds remaining in the third period as Oscar passed the ball to Henry on the left side of the field. Henry cradled it, cut to the middle, and worked the ball across the crease to Luca. With fifteen seconds to go, Luca got the ball back to Oscar who was already on the run. Using a low arm angle, Luca fired the ball just right between the legs of the goalie, ending an exciting third period in which Tandem held FA to just two goals, and the Badgers trailed 2-1.

   

  Tandem's lacrosse season began way back in the summer - lots of Badgers arrived on campus to train in the heat of July - and have continued to do so over the course of the winter and into the spring. Our talented contingent of eighth graders - Griffin, Luke, Tim and Levi - have truly given it their all, learning new skills and different facets of the game.

• Second Half Heroics Give Badgers Back to Back Wins

  3/20/2026
  Dave Levy, Athletic Director
  Varsity Girls Soccer - With the clock frozen at 2:00, the game was deep into stoppage time. The Badgers were protecting a one goal lead. Tandem was in a great position, looking to keep the ball in their offensive zone and take time off the clock. Quantico gained possession and cleared the ball up the field to their best striker - and she had a clear lane to the goal. Hadley, also a striker, looked up and surveyed the field. She could not have been farther away from the ball - the opponent was already at mid-field, but, as far as Hadley was concerned, there was simply no way Quantico was going to score the tying goal.

   

  She took off at a breakneck speed, generating even more wind than Monday's tornado. The distance between the two players grew smaller as Quantico, believing she had lots of space, looked for an angle to launch the game-tying shot. By the time Quantico's forward reared back to shoot, Hadley was mirroring her movements - challenging the opponent, tackling the ball away, and creating a special Tandem soccer moment as the ball rolled harmlessly out of bounds. In the words of Coach Tim, "the amount of effort it took as a forward, the highest player on the field, to run a dead sprint for 60 meters after 80 minutes of soccer to shut down Quantico's last gasp was absolutely incredible." If you were on the hill, you'll never forget it.
