Wakefield had the privilege to host the 2014 Invitational Tournament on Saturday September 6th, 2014.

Teams from all across the region came to compete. In total, 7 teams: Wakefield, West Potomac, West Springfield, Park View, Maret, W.T. Woodson, and North Stafford all participated in the tournament.

Emma Burd, co-captain of the varsity volleyball team said, “we went into a lot of intense practicing with not just skill practice, but a lot of conditioning and a lot of mental practice to ensure that we were focused and in the game.”

Varsity Coach Bradley said she was impressed by her team and might be considering a change of lineup to play to the players strengths. She was overjoyed with their performance and improvement in the last 3 weeks.

Many came to support varsity during their games, including the freshman volleyball team, and some JV players.

In the end, West Springfield beat W.T. Woodson for a first place victory 8-4. Maret had to fight West Potomac to win 3^rd place. The final matches of the tournament were nail biters indeed.

Overall, the first county wide tournament that Wakefield held in our new gym was a great learning experience for the team.

Remember to go out and support our warriors! Here are some games the co-captains said you don’t want to miss: Yorktown on 10/9/14, Washington Lee on 10/16/14, and the final home game on 10/27/14. All games start for Varsity at 7:15pm.
