Charlottesville High School is one step closer to finding a replacement for longtime football coach Garwin DeBerry.

After a year of waiting, Albemarle got revenge Friday night with a 9-7 road win.
The Patriots fell behind 4-2 in the first half before bouncing back to take a heated contest against a familiar rival.

In sports, when the stakes are high, the team that has an edge will often prevail. Well, on Thursday night, Round 1 of the Jefferson District’s boys soccer showdown went to Orange County’s boys soccer team.

Since losing its season opener to Albemarle just over a month ago, the Western Albemarle soccer team has come a long way.

The two teams battled to a scoreless tie until just under the 10-minute mark, when Charlottesville freshman Sarah Robinson found the back of the middle of the net from about 25 yards out to give the Black Knights a 1-0 lead they would not relinquish.

The Black Knights and Warriors played to a 1-1 tie at Western after a Charlottesville goal in the closing minutes of regulation evened the score. Neither team could break through for a game-winner in overtime.
