Slighted — very much unintentionally — during pregame introductions, Bella Kim certainly wasn’t forgotten once a recent all-star field-hockey match began.

Three boys soccer players who helped the Potomac School Panthers win conference championships this fall were rewarded with all-state private-school selections.

Senior forward, top scorer and three-year captain Patrick Ritter was one of a dozen players chosen Division I first-team all-state. Making second team from the high-school squad were seniors Colin Cordell and Marshall Lloyd.

The Langley Saxons are headed back to a familiar venue — one where they already have won three state volleyball championships, including last year.

In this season’s Virginia High School League Class 6 girls state-tournament final at 2:30 p.m. Saturday (Nov. 23) at the Siegel Center in Richmond, Langley (27-2) will play the Chantilly Chargers (24-2-1) in the 2024 title match.

His cross-country season and career with the Chantilly Chargers concluded in grand fashion for Tristan Thurneysen.

Runningbacks Robert Roncskevitz from the Langley Saxons, Ethan Lebkisher of the Marshall Statesmen and Ethan Buhler of the Herndon Hornets were chosen first-team all-Liberty District for their performances in football this fall.
