  Week #9 - Cross Country Competes in Prestigious VA Showcase Meet Tomorrow

  10/16/2026
  Tandem's Varsity Cross Country team and many of its members have had an incredible season already. Tomorrow, they will compete in the VA Showcase, the largest and most competitive meet on the east coast with over 350 teams, including the number one ranked team in the nation, Christ School from Asheville, NC. If you're not doing anything tomorrow morning at 9:00am or in the afternoon between 3:00-4:00pm (or even if you are), you can tune in to their events via this link to the VA XC Showcase Meet livestream. 

   

  Senior Hayes, undefeated this season, will compete individually in the invitation-only Showcase Division at 9:00am against some of the best runners in the country. This will be the first time all season that he's had major competition so we can't wait to see how fast he runs and if he can break his own 5K school record of 15:20. The girls team races at 3:00pm and the boys team races at 3:30pm. These races will also be livestreamed. Let's all go online and cheer on our Badgers!

• Week #9 - Big Week for MS Soccer and Volleyball

  10/15/2026

  MS Boys Soccer - Defensively, the Middle School Boys Soccer team had an incredible start to their game on the road at Saint Anne's on Wednesday. Gabriel was everywhere, beating opponents to the ball, while Silas worked hard on the back end. Bo and Elias forced the ball wide, and Eli had several nice tackles to gain possession. Floyd was incredible in goal - several excellent saves! Will's speed was incredible, darting across the field, and erasing scoring opportunities for the other side. He earned a free kick, sending the ball deep to Trenton. On the other end, Casey, Will and Eric worked together defensively, Eric bolting in at full speed to tackle the ball away. 

   

  Saint Anne's had an early goal, but Tandem responded with Eli and Trenton making a big push. Jonathan got it started, tackling the ball out of the box and sending it ahead to Yosi. Late in the game, the Badgers had a breakaway and Silas took a powerful shot, resulting in a Tandem corner.

   

  MS Girls Volleyball - Loud and enthusiastic, the Middle School Girls Volleyball Badgers arrived in the gym ready to play. The team organized themselves into hitting lines and worked on their serves, just as they have been in practice. Early in the first set, Willa set Rory for a big hit! With Rory at the service line, the Badgers took an early 7-2 lead, resulting in a Peabody timeout. On the next rally, Annie made an excellent pass to Rory who returned the favor as Willa had a big hit!

• Week #8 - Elite Passing Generates Scoring Changes for Boys Varsity Soccer, MS Cross Country Earns Big PRS at Darden Towe

  10/8/2026
  Boys Varsity Soccer - Shaan earned a free kick on the left side of the field at the 33:00 mark of the first half. He reared back and fired a perfect pass to Aven, who controlled the ball and wound up for a powerful shot. The goalie saved it, but was rattled, and Tandem kept the pressure on. Even when Regents was able to move the ball into the Tandem zone, Eli took over, tackling it away and sending it up the line to Levi. Working closely with Seth, Levi was able to generate lots of scoring opportunities. He passed the ball to Aven, who faked up the line and worked back towards the middle.

   

  The team continued with a great attack - 87 passes in the first and 93 in the second - Eli passed the ball wide to Seth who found Shaan in the middle. Shaan, off one touch, found Levi in the middle for a shot. It was the first of many - moments later was Shaan from 30 feet, and Van from the 18'. On defense, William, Luke and Mason held the line. They either drew the opponent offsides or just took the ball away, eliminating breakaway opportunities. On one occasion, Mason tackled the ball away and found Shaan in the middle. As Zoey described it, Shaan did a "super technical step over hesi," and I am not sure that even gives it enough credit.
