Neil Simon’s classic comedy, “Plaza Suite,”is coming to Centreville High. The the-ater students will perform it Thursday-

Saturday, Nov. 18, 19, 20, at 7:30 p.m. each night,plus a Nov. 20 matinee at 2 p.m. Tickets are $9,during school lunchtimes, the week of Nov. 15,and $10 at the door.

“It’s about the antics that take place in suite 719in New York’s Plaza Hotel,” said Director MikeHudson. “Each of the three acts involves a differ-ent group of people staying there.”

In act one, a husband and wife staying over-night while their house is being painted discoverssome surprising things about their marriage. Acttwo reunites high-school sweethearts after 17years; he’s a successful Hollywood producer andshe’s a New Jersey housewife. Act three’s about amadcap wedding — and a bride who’s locked her-self in the bathroom and won’t come out.

“The plot transcends decades, but the actionsand reactions of people in similar situations willbe understood by everyone,” said Hudson. “Thekids are doing a great job; they have so much en-ergy and drive that the show moves along at arapid and exciting pace.”

The set will depict the 1968 interior of the ho-tel suite, and the actors will wear vintage cloth-ing from that time. “The show’s appropriate forall ages,” said Hudson. “And although there aresome adult themes, it’s good clean fun and noth-ing offensive. The dialogue’s quick and sharp, andSimon’s humor never gets old; no matter howmany times I read or hear this play, I laugh.”

In act one, sophomore Daniel Lindgren portraysSam Nash. “He’s really vain and insecure and con-cerned with his appearance — even before otherpeople’s feelings,” said Lindgren. “He’s also cheat-ing on his wife. He’s kind of sleazy, so it’s fun totry on a different personality, although I dislikehim, at times. But it’s been really cool having alead and getting more into the theater depart-ment.”

Lindgren said the audience will enjoy seeingthree stories. “In each one, the people are wealthy,

Fairfax National Golf Club,which has been sold andrenamed several times,will close on Nov. 30 —

not because the golf season is com-ing to an end, but to make wayfor a new housing development inCentreville.

The new residential subdivision,Sudley Farm, will consist of ap-proximately 60 lots in FairfaxCounty and three other lots inLoudoun County. According toFairfax County documents, theproperty is currently zoned Resi-dential-Conservation (R-C), whichwould allow by-right developmentof residential neighborhoods con-sisting of detached single familyhomes with a minimum lot size offive acres each.

The golf course, which is cur-rently owned by Fairfax GIBG, LLCand being developed by IBG Part-ners, LLC, is being shut down forfinancial reasons.

“The golf course is not profitableand it’s unlikely that without a

huge investment it would be prof-itable,” said Scott Fuller, seniorvice president of development forIBG. “Even with a huge invest-ment, it still probably wouldn’t beprofitable,” he added.

According to Fuller, the coursehas been losing money since par-ent company Golf GIBG LLC ob-tained it five years ago, when itbought a 15 golf course portfolio.All except for two of the coursesin that portfolio have been sold.Fairfax National is one of thosecourses, and a course in New Jer-sey is the other.

Construction for new develop-ment could begin in April or May,but the new development is stillin the approval process and mustreceive final approval for site plansby the county.

THE 27-HOLE golf course wasbuilt in 1959 as Cedar Crest Coun-try Club and sits on more than 300acres on the outskirts ofCentreville, where Fairfax andLoudoun counties meet.

On Monday, Nov. 9, more than20 members of the once CedarCrest Country Club met to say fare-well and play a final round of golf.

“It will always be Cedar Crest,”said Fred Lear as he pointed to hisgreen Cedar Crest Country Club

It was a hit Broadway play andan Oscar-winning movie star-ring Katharine Hepburn,

Jimmy Stewart and Cary Grant.And now, “The Philadelphia Story”takes the stage at Westfield High.

The curtain rises Friday-Satur-day, Nov. 19-20, at 7:30 p.m., andSunday, Nov. 21, at 2 p.m. Ticketsare $10 in advance, $12 at thedoor. Seating is reserved and tick-ets are available atwww.westfieldtheatreboosters.com.

This romantic comedy is a storyof love, marriage, growth and classdistinctions on the PhiladelphiaMain Line as the 1930s end. So-cialite Tracy Lord is about to marrya dull businessman when her ex-husband reappears, along with areporter covering the high-societywedding.

“I added a radio show in thebeginning to transport everyoneback to 1939-40 to set the envi-ronment,” said Director Susie Pike.“There’ll be singers with periodmusic and an announcer, ColbyDezelick, telling the audience thatthis is the big social event of theseason. The bride’s from a wealthy,well-known family and the groomhas become known and respectedby his hard work, so people areinterested in them.”

Pike said the play’s a study ofthe haves and the have-nots, andpeople’s attitudes toward them. Inmany ways, she said, “PlaywrightPhilip Barry poked fun at his ownclass, the upper class. It’s been agreat education for the students tolearn about this style of acting, andthat’s why I chose it. It’s a sophis-ticated play and a comedy of man-ners.”

Portraying Lord is senior SarahBowden. “Tracy’s smart and beau-tiful, has a strong, independentnature and stands up for herself,”said Bowden. “She inheritedmoney from her relatives and isengaged to George. The troublebegins when her ex-husband Dex-ter comes back into her life, theday before the wedding — and herfamily is trying to act like the per-fect family.”

Since the plan is lengthy, residents may want to focus on rec-ommendations for their areas of the county. By using the interac-tive map and clicking on one of 14 districts, people may learnmore about the park system and provide input. Comments maybe made through Nov. 15 via the project Web site or by [email protected]. The revised Park ComprehensivePlan will go to the Park Authority board for adoption in the firstquarter of 2011.

Thanksgiving is a few weeks away, but West-ern Fairfax Christian Ministries (WFCM) isalready hard at work, scrambling to find

enough people to help provide holiday food basketsto local families in need.

“I have 737 family names on my list, right now,and still need at least 200 more sponsors,” WFCM’sCindy Nichols, coordinating the food-basket pro-gram, said Monday. “Requests forChristmas baskets are still comingin so, for both holidays, we expectto give out close to 1,500 baskets.”

WFCM serves families inCentreville, Chantilly, Clifton, FairOaks and Fairfax Station, andNichols attributed the need to theeconomy, in general. “We have somany blue- and white-collar work-ers on our list,” she said. “Peoplewho never thought they’d needhelp are coming to us, for bothfood and financial aid, and therehave been a lot of evictions.”

All families requesting holiday aid, food or giftsare referred to Our Daily Bread by either a FairfaxCounty social worker or the schools. The families’names and contact information are then given toNichols — who has to try to find sponsors for all ofthem.

First, she approaches WFCM’s 42 member churchesand, depending on the size of the congregation,they’ll each take some families. Some charitable or-ganizations also lend a hand.

“The Clifton Lions are doing a huge thing for us,”said Nichols. “Between the two holidays, they’re do-nating over $3,000 worth of gift cards to local gro-cery stores. And the Knights of Columbus will bring

us 60-70 frozen turkeys.”WFCM provided more than 1,300 baskets last year;

but because of this year’s increased need, she said,“Everybody’s trying to help out. Plus, we also gethelp from individual families and organizations, suchas schools, Girl Scout troops and women’s clubs.There’s no way we would be able to accomplish thiswithout the help of the community and the churches.”

If someone can sponsor a family with a food bas-ket, Nichols will match them up. If the donor wantsto shop for the items for a holiday meal and put to-gether the basket(s) or food boxes themselves, she’llgive them a list of suggested items to include.

Donors can even call the family to find out theirfavorite foods.

“We give them the contact information for the fam-ily so they can ask about their likes and dislikes, andany dietary restrictions,” said Nichols. “They can also

determine when it’s best to deliverthe basket.”

Even those unable to provide awhole basket full of food — or whojust don’t have the time to go shop-ping — can still help out by con-tributing supermarket gift cards,in any denominations. “Even a $10gift card would help a lot,” saidNichols. “Or they could give us acash donation and we’ll turn it intogift cards.”

This is especially important torecipients who don’t necessarilyhave a way to cook a meal, she

said. “Unfortunately, we have lots of homeless peoplein this area,” said Nichols. The same applies to thosejust renting rooms and having no kitchen privileges.

Gift cards may be dropped off at the WFCM foodpantry at 13981 Metrotech Drive in Chantilly (nearBackyard Grill and Bar). For more information or tosponsor a family, contact Nichols at 703-988-9656,ext. 105, or via [email protected].

To mail gift cards or send donations by check, adda note saying “food basket program” and send themto: WFCM, P.O. Box 220802, Chantilly, VA 20153.Checks should be made payable to WFCM.

The toughest part of her job, said Nichols, is find

but still have problems like any-one else, so money can’t fix every-thing,” he said. “The third act ishappier than the first two, whichare more serious.”

Playing Nash’s wife, Karen, is se-nior Anna McKittrick. “She’s witty,but more in a coy, snide way thanreally funny,” said McKittrick. “Shehas a c’est la vie outlook on life andis a happy person. She loves herhusband and they had a great mar-riage, at the start.”

McKittrick says it’s a fun part toplay because “it’s got a lot of emo-tional range. In the beginning,Karen’s not expecting anything togo wrong, that night. But whenSam comes home, they start to spar.She keeps her sense of humor,though, until she really knows he’scheating.”

In act two, senior Brian Nguonlyplays Jesse Kiplinger. “He’s a big-time, Hollywood producer and isvery realistic,” said Nguonly. “Heknows what he is and what he isn’t,but he doesn’t like showing his in-ner feelings to people. He’s also adreamer and hopes the girl he knew17 years ago will still be the same.”

Nguonly likes playing a lead — especiallya character who’s not simple. “He’s outthere,” said Nguonly. “This is probably themost romantic guy in the whole play.” Hesaid the audience will be glad that the showprogresses from a more somber mood to ahumorous one. Besides that, he added, “Ev-ery character in every scene is so differentfrom the last one that people will connect

member shirt from 1976. Lear joined theclub in 1976 and remained a member untilhe retired and moved to Pennsylvania in2004. “I feel like I’m at a funeral. I can’tbelieve they’re going to do this,” said Lear.

Mary Luoma, another member on handfor the reunion, joined Cedar Crest in 1981.“It was a fun place to come and play, withnice, fun people,” Luoma said. When askedabout the development of the golf courseshe said, “It was bound to happen.”

AS MEMBERS reminisced about thegood times and history of the course, onemember pointed out the Civil War-eragravestone and family cemetery located onthe golf course. The golf course is home tothe Taliaferro/Carter Family Cemetery andthe Preston gravesite.

The Taliaferro/Carter Family Cemetery islocated in the woods approximately 100yards southeast from the clubhouse, and isin poor condition. According to a 1997 sur-vey by Brian A. Conley, conducted forFairfax County, there are seven headstonesand evidence of more than 15 unmarkedburials.

The Preston gravesite is located approxi-mately 100 feet south of the clubhouse. Itis the resting-place of William C. Preston, aConfederate soldier who died on the firstday of the Second Battle of Manassas/BullRun.

According to Fuller, the Civil War-era cem-etery and gravesite will not be disturbedduring the development of the site.

“We’ve identified those. They will be pro-tected,” Fuller said. “There will be ease-ments allowing access to them and, at somepoint, we’ll also look into what needs to be

to at least one of them.”Senior Tori Sancho-Bonet describes her

character, Muriel Tate, as a “typical house-wife who stays home and reads Hollywoodmagazines. She has a happy life, but won-ders now what her life would have beenlike with her high-school sweetheart who’snow a Hollywood producer. She’s also naïveand has a weakness for Vodka Stingers.”

Sancho-Bonet says it’s fun to play some-one who’s “sweet and not 100-percentthere. She doesn’t know exactly what shewants and she gets a little tipsy throughoutthe act. The audience will think it’s ex-tremely funny how the producer makesadvances at her, but she has no clue.” Over-all, Sancho-Bonet said all three scenariosgo together nicely and people will enjoy

seeing it with their families.In the third act, portraying

Norma Hubley, mother of the bride,is senior Kristina Rathjen. “She’sreally scatterbrained, kind of self-centered and really frantic, all thetime,” said Rathjen. “She goes intopanic mode, 24/7.”

“I love this role,” said Rathjen.“It’s fun to branch out and playsomeone different from me, and Ihave a good time working with An-thony [Ingargiola] because there’slots of banter, physical comedy andchaos between us. The audiencewill like seeing all that, plus thecomedic timing, yelling and hyste-ria in our act.”

As her husband, Roy Hubley, jun-ior Ingargiola plays the bride’s fa-ther. “His motives are driven by ex-penses,” explained Ingargiola. “Hewants the wedding to start as soonas possible because he’s wastingmoney having musicians waitingaround and food getting cold. Heloses his temper quickly. He wantseverything to run smoothly, so hewants to take control of the situa-tion.”

When Ingargiola’s acting thispart, he says his New York rootscome out. “When I raise my voice,

I speak with an accent,” he said. “The argu-ments Roy and his wife get into are intense,but also comedic.” He said audience mem-bers who don’t get all the jokes right awaywill surely get them later. “The chaos keepsbuilding and building,” said Ingargiola.“The characters are really quirky and havedifferent personality types, so it’ll be fun towatch them develop.”

bringing “Holes” to life on thestage.

Show times are Thursday-Satur-day, Nov. 18, 19, 20, at 7:30 p.m.each night, plus a 2:30 p.m. mati-nee on Nov. 20. Tickets are $7 atthe door, if available, but will alsobe sold during lunches, the weekof the show, and they go quickly.

There’s a cast and crew of 41,and Director Julie Wharton saysher students are “doing really well.They connect with the charactersand understand the story on many,different levels.”

Eighth-grader Gavin Mooreplays the main character, StanleyYelnats, who’s 13 and is falselyaccused of stealing the $5,000sneakers of a famous baseballplayer. “He’s convicted and sent toCamp Green Lake in a dried-uplake bed in Texas,” said Gavin. “It’slike a prison camp and he has todig one hole, 5 feet deep and 5 feetwide, each day.”

Stanley’s in a tent with othershis age, and they all have to dothe same thing. Their nicknamesare X-Ray, Armpit, Zigzag, Magnetand Zero, and Stanley’s is Cave-man. “The guards say digging theholes will build character, butStanley believes there might besome other reason,” said Gavin.“He also thinks he was accusedbecause of an old, family curseafter his great-great-grandfatherstole a gypsy’s pig. But as the storyprogresses, he realizes he canmake his own fate.”

Stanley isn’t popular at school,is sometimes picked on and is al-ways in the wrong place at thewrong time — and he blames thefamily curse anytime somethinggoes wrong. “He’s fun to play be-cause, even though he’s a normalguy, I can do a lot with his charac-ter,” said Gavin. “It’s my first, ma-jor lead so I’m excited about thisperformance.

never played before; in that timeperiod, women were professionaland composed. But the reporter’salso involved with Tracy romanti-cally, so it’s fun seeing how differ-ent the men act around her, andher relationship with each ofthem.”

She said the audience will alsolike the set. “Everything happenswithin the living room, and they’lllike having that omniscient view— knowing the three men willcome back into Tracy’s life, eventhough each one doesn’t knowabout the other; they only knowabout George.”

Senior Adam Thomas plays Dex-ter, a former alcoholic who wentto rehab after Tracy divorced him.“At the start of the play, he’s a newman,” said Thomas. “Although he’salso high class, he knows it’s falseand knows what the lower classthinks of it. So he’s critical of Tracyand tries to make her a better per-son — more compassionate andunderstanding of other people’simperfections. He cares about herand wants her to re-evaluate herdecision to marry George.”

Thomas said Dexter’s his favor-ite role, so far, because of his dia-logue. “The things he says are bril-liant,” said Thomas. “He’s ex-tremely witty and sarcastic, witha great sense of humor. The audi-ence will definitely like the showbecause of the witty, one-liners,dynamic characters and fantasticset showing the interior of Tracy’shouse, with double doors leadingto the backyard. It should be lotsof fun.”

Portraying George Kittredge issenior Max Ehrlich. “He’s a work-ing man who’s fought to get him-self into [high society], so heknows what it’s like to be in thelower or middle class and work hisway up,” said Ehrlich. “And thismarriage would secure his placein the upper class. George lovesTracy, but worships her, ratherthan seeing her as a life partner.She’s independent, but he doesn’twant her to have to lift a finger.”

Ehrlich said it’s fun exploring adifferent side of a love situationand playing someone with man-ners and morals that people re-spect. “The audience will like theplot and how everything getsmixed up and then resolved in theend,” he said. “And the show willhave an elegant look, illustratingthat time period with the set, cos-tumes and sophistication withinthe acting.”

Senior Kevin Clay plays MikeConnor, a reporter for Destiny, amagazine about famous people’s

lives. He and photographer Liz(Brittany Simmons) plan to coverthe wedding. However, said Clay,“Mike has a chip on his shoulder;he’s bitter toward the upper classthat he covers, but understandshe’ll never have what they have.But eventually, his ideologychanges as he understands moreabout what the upper class is —and that he should judge peopleas individuals, not by class.”

Clay’s enjoying the “old-school”acting, quite stylized in the waythe characters talk and act, andhe’s pleased that his character goesthrough a change. “That’s whatmakes him stand out,” said Clay.“And once the audience gets usedto this type of comedy, they’ll re-ally like it, plus the change in each

of the primary characters.”There are 30 actors and under-

studies, including Tracy’s eccentricfamily — brother Sandy (TrevorKnickerbocker), playboy father(Zack Nordwall), crazy UncleWilly (Connor Scudder), well-meaning mother (SunnyVinsavich) and precocious sisterDinah (Elisabeth Bloxam).

Director Pike said this show’s anacting challenge for her youngthespians, but “these kids can doit. It takes a strong, acting pres-ence on stage and they have it. SoI’m proud of them and I’m reallylooking forward to seeing our gor-geous set, too. French doors willlead to a patio, and there’ll be apalladian window on top and largewindows on the sides. And I addedwedding guests behind the Frenchdoors to get the feeling of the wed-ding day. Lots of parents are work-ing behind the scenes, and the sup-

port of theboosters hasbeen tremen-dous.”

R o s e m a r yPalack is studentdirector; NickBurroughs, stagemanager; JoeyBiagini and BenNelms, assistantstage managers;Andy Roca,lights; KieranClaffey and DanHepler, sound;and MandySachs, props.

This is Westfield TheaterDepartment’s season of “A Changeof Heart,” so all its plays will showgrowth in the characters. “It’s im-portant to me that we do goodwork and challenge kids to learnabout the American classics and

approach plays that are difficultand beautiful,” said Pike. “As theaudience leaves, I’m hoping they’llsay, ‘Wow, what a great show, whatwonderful characters these finestudents have portrayed and whatan enjoyable evening out.’ They’llleave happy and optimistic.”


Opinion

On Veterans Day, we remember allof those who have served in themilitary; there are 24 millionveterans in the United States.

More than 1 million members of the U.S. mili-tary have now served in the ongoing wars inIraq and Afghanistan.While Memorial Day isset aside to remember those who died in mili-tary service, and Veterans Day is honoring allof those who have served in the military, weuse both occasions each year to remembersome of the names of those who have died inIraq and Afghanistan since 2001. It is also atime to reinvigorate efforts to provide the bestservices and opportunities to our veterans. ThePost-9/11 GI Bill dramatically increases theeducational benefits extended to members ofthe military who have served at leastthree months of active duty since Sept.11, 2001. George Mason University hasbeen on the forefront of implementing the GIBill for veterans locally. Steps to provide bet-ter, faster and more responsive health care,including mental health care are underway.

MORE THAN 4,400 U.S. military membershave been killed in Iraq and more than 1,300have been killed in Afghanistan since Sept. 11,2001. More than 40,000 have been woundedin Iraq and Afghanistan. More than 170 U.S.military service personnel from Virginia havebeen killed in Iraq and Afghanistan, includingmore than a dozen in 2009 and 2010.

Here are the names of some of the local menand women who have died in Iraq and Afghani-stan. We repeat these names several times ayear to honor their service and to keep theirmemories in our consciousness. If you knowof someone who should be included in this list,or if you would like to share how you are hon-oring the memory of a family member or friendlost, or about the progress of someone injured,please let us know.

Performing ‘Holes’audience needs to fill in. It has

some funny moments, and thestory makes you think about therelationship between the past andpresent and about taking chargeof your life.”

Since “Holes” is such a well-known youth novel, DirectorWharton expects the play to have“huge appeal” in the community.“It’s an inspiring and upliftingstory because these normal kidstriumph over terrible adversity,”she said. “The adults over themhave lost their way, but the kidsfind the strength to save them-selves. The story is richly spun

because of all the flashbacks. Wemeet some of the characters’ an-cestors, and [the tales of what hap-pened to them] are woven beauti-fully into the present-day story.”

The play was done by the book’sauthor, Louis Sachar, so it’s true tothe story. However, showing teensdigging in the desert proved to bea production challenge at RockyRun. So, said Wharton, “In oursmall, intimate space, we’ll do itvery simply. It’s a moving story thatsucks you in emotionally — theaudience will care about thesecharacters so much. By the end,they’ll feel like they’ve battledthose elements with them.”

The story of Annie, an orphan whobefriends President Roosevelt and findsa new home with billionaire OliverWarbucks, has been entertaining audi-ences for years. Now, Alliance Theatreis holding auditions for “Annie Jr.”

An interest meeting will be heldWednesday, Nov. 10, at 7 p.m. in theMountain View High School cafeteria.Audition materials (sheet music andscripts) will be distributed and the au-dition choreography will be taught.

Then, auditions for students, ages 8-18, will be held Wednesday-Thursday,

Nov. 17-18, from 6-9 p.m., at MountainView. Callbacks, if necessary – and byinvitation only – will be held Friday,Nov. 19. Actors interested in audition-ing must pre-register atwww.thealliancetheatre.org.

For more information on audition re-quirements, rehearsal schedule andactor expectations, see the Web site.

Help Needed for Holiday Basketsing sponsors for the baskets. “Even with all the

churches — when you have over 700 families to spon-sor — you need a lot of help,” she said. “And everyperson who contributes to the effort helps us whittlethat list down so we can serve everyone.”

But all the hard work is worth it, she said, “to seethe families who really need our help spend a holi-day eating a meal like we would have in our ownhomes — instead of just eating whatever they havein their cupboards. And the people receiving the bas-

kets tell us how much it meant to them — that itmade their day — and we’re so grateful that we wereable to help them.”

Nichols said many of the same people who spon-sor families come back, year after year, because oncethey do, they want to do it again. “It’s also a way forthem to involve their children in this [shopping, fill-ing the baskets and delivering them].

It lets parents show them that not everyone livesin a house with a white, picket fence. There arepeople in need here.”

Centreville in a Div. 6 first round NorthernRegion playoff game. Game time for thequarterfinals round contest is 7:30 p.m.

Fairfax (6-4) will be playing a Wildcats’team coached by Chris Haddock, who justone year ago was leading the Rebels intothe postseason as the Fairfax head coach.

But Haddock, who helped re-build theFairfax program during his three seasonsat the helm, accepted the head coachingposition at Centreville this past offseason.His new team has benefited greatly underhis direction as the Wildcats, members ofthe powerful Concorde District, were 8-0at one point before losing the past twoweeks to finish the regular season at 8-2.

Kevin Simonds, a former Fairfax assistantcoach under Haddock and the Rebels’ cur-rent head coach, understands the coachingstoryline leading up to Friday’s postseasongame. But he said the playoff affair is notabout the coaches.

“One of the biggest things I’ve been tell-ing the kids this week is that this is not coachSimonds versus coach Haddock, but Fairfaxversus Centreville,” said Simonds. “We arevery excited about being in the playoffs.”

Fairfax, in the eight-team Div. 6 playoff

format, is the No. 7 seed while Centrevilleis the No. 2 seed. The winner of Friday’sgame will advance to the semifinals nextweek.

A year ago, under Haddock, Fairfax lostits first round Div. 6 playoff game, 19-14,to eventual region champion and state run-ner-up Lake Braddock. This year’s Fairfaxsquad, under Simonds, will be looking totake that next step with a playoff victory —which would come at the expense of theRebels’ former coach.

Simonds and Haddock both understandthe other’s coaching style.

“I have all the respect for Chris Haddock,”said Simonds. “This will be a matchup I’mlooking forward to because we’re familiarwith [his style]. I coached three years un-der Chris.”

Simonds said he believes his underdog

Rebels can match up well on offense, de-fense and on special teams with the muchheralded Centreville team. The coach saidhis players are anxious to play the Wild-cats.

“We had a great practice yesterday,” saidSimonds, on Tuesday. “There was lots ofenthusiasm. You realize how nice it is topractice now [for the playoffs]. You get toturn on the lights [for a night workout],breathe in the crisp air and experience theemotions of the playoffs.”

Fairfax, the coach realizes, will have toplay a great game in order to defeatCentreville and advance.

“Definitely, they are stout and a goodteam,” said Simonds. “But we have confi-dence. It’s going to come down to turnovers,special teams play and who can run theclock and move the football and keep the

other teams’ offense off the field.”

FAIRFAX, which went 3-3 in the LibertyDistrict this season, has proven it can playwell against some of the region’s top teams.The Rebels defeated Concorde Districtchampion Robinson, 20-12, way back inweek two of the season. They nearly de-feated district opponent McLean in a weekeight game, but lost 24-20. The Highland-ers, celebrating homecoming that night,improved to 8-0 with that victory over theRebels.

Since that setback, Fairfax has come backstrong with district wins over Marshall, 34-16, and Jefferson, 21-0, to clinch a playoffberth.

Centreville, meanwhile, heads into theplayoffs on a two-game losing streak fol-lowing its 8-0 start. The Wildcats lost a weeknine affair at Westfield, 35-14, than fell atRobinson, 27-0, last week.

Centreville has true game-breakers in starrunning back Manny Smith, who is averag-ing 138 yards per game, and quarterbackChance Roman, who has tossed 16 touch-downs. Fairfax has an outstandingplaymaker in running back Marcus Bailey.

“Stopping Marcus Bailey will be tough,”said Haddock. “Marcus is a great kid withan elusive and powerful style of running.He will certainly be on our radar.”

Haddock has tons of respect for his formerteam and coach Simonds.

“Kevin Simonds is a good man and anopponent that does things the right way,”said Haddock. “It is always great to playpeople and programs like that.

“We are very excited to be back in theplayoffs,” said Haddock. “Playing Fairfaxwill be a challenge but one our team is upfor. We have played two of the toughestteams in the Northern Region the last twoweeks as well as many other tough teamsand hopefully that will have us battle testedfor the playoffs.”

Wildcats Ready To Take on Fairfax in PlayoffsCoach Haddockwill be going upagainst his formerteam in Div. 6 firstround affair.

Centreville High quarterback Chance Roman and his teammates will belooking to get back into the win column when they host Fairfax in afirst round Div. 6 region playoff game this Friday night.

Of all the eight Northern Regionfootball playoff games takingplace this Friday night, the one

which might be the most difficult to fore-see a final outcome on is the Div. 6 matchupbetween Westfield and Chantilly, set to take7:30 p.m. at Chantilly High School.

Both squads are part of the powerfulConcorde District and, during the regularseason, went up against some of the topteams in the region in such district foes asCentreville, Oakton and district championRobinson. Both teams are certainly battle

tested and capable of making a strong runat the region title within the eight-team Div.6 playoff field.

But only one will move on. That is part ofthe bitter-sweet nature of the postseason.You can put together an exceptional regu-lar season, like Chantilly did going 8-2, andthen have to face a sleeping giant such asWestfield which was uncertain if it wouldeven qualify for the playoffs during the fi-nal few weeks of the regular season.

“It’s a very difficult first round [game] forus,” said Chantilly coach Mike Lalli, whoseteam trailed Westfield, 14-0, during a regu-lar season meeting on Oct. 22 before scor-ing 17 fourth quarter points to stun the

Bulldogs, 17-14. “To have to play any teamtwice is difficult because of the quality ofthe coaches and their ability to adjust andprepare for you. The Westfield coachingstaff is excellent and their team is very tal-ented so we have a big challenge ahead ofus.”

No doubt. Westfield was not on the radarof many region football observers follow-ing a 1-2 start. The Bulldogs, who have beenformidable defensively all season but havestruggled on offense, were just 4-4 goinginto their final two weeks. Following thetough loss to the Chargers, Westfieldbounced back with district wins over bothCentreville, 35-14, and Herndon, 44-7, toclinch a playoff berth as the No. 6-seed.

“They have really been playing aggres-sive, physical football at a high level of in-tensity and execution over the past fewweeks,” said Lalli, of Westfield. “It is going

to be a very difficult game for us.”Chantilly, the No. 3-seed, won its first six

games before losing in double overtime tohost Centreville in the annual Sully Bowlgame. The Chargers rebounded from thatsetback with the come-from-behind victoryover Westfield then defeated Herndon.Chantilly experienced its second loss of theseason last week in its regular season finalegame against host Oakton, which got afourth quarter field goal from kicker EricGoins to edge Lalli’s squad, 17-14.

WESTFIELD COACH Tom Verbanic cred-ited Chantilly with its comeback win overhis team in week eight. The Bulldogs wereseemingly in control before the Chargersrallied behind a pair of touchdown runsfrom quarterback Carson Romine and a 28-yard field goal by Billy Germain. Some on

Westfield, Chantilly To Clashlookers felt that Westfield had blown a sure win.Verbanic knew better.

“Would’ve, could’ve, should’ve doesn’t get you any-where,” he said, of speculating on how the Bulldogslet the game slip away. “We played well in the firsthalf. They played well in the second half. They’re 8-2 and have played well all year. They’re a very solidfootball team.”

Chantilly loves to run the football and take min-utes off the clock. But Westfield’s defense is excel-lent against the run and held the Chargers’ runninggame in check for the most part. The exception wasthe running of Romine, the Chargers’ QB who rushedfor 109 yards and the two scores that game.

“They’re a good ball control offense so trying toget them off the field is a big deal,” said Verbanic.“And on defense they’ve been very good all year.You’ve got to find a way to get some yards on them.”

Looking back at its season, wins over such talentedteams as West Potomac, Oakton and Centreville were

critical in getting Westfield the power points it neededto ultimately qualify for the postseason.

“We’re very excited,” said Verbanic, of making theplayoffs. “It’s been a tough year and we’ve played avery tough schedule. We didn’t know if we’d make[the playoffs] or not, we just kept plugging away.”

The challenge for the Bulldogs if they are to makea playoff run will be having better success movingthe ball. The Bulldogs were led on the ground thisseason by running backs Kendell Anderson (600-plusrushing yards), a junior, and senior Brian Monticue(400-plus).

“We haven’t had good consistency on offense thisyear that we need,” said Verbanic. “We’ve been play-ing very good defense the entire year.”

The coach said he enjoys the district matchups withsuch teams as Chantilly.

“It’s a good, spirited rivalry,” he said, of playingthe Chargers. “Every time you play in the Concordeit feels like a playoff game. One thing I tell the kidsis, for better or worse, we’re playoff tested.”

In addition to what “I Could Care Less”about (see last week’s column) there arethings that I care too much about. Thingsthat, in the scheme of things/big picture(Cancer), shouldn’t really matter, but unfortu-nately do, and disproportionately so at that.It’s almost as if my brain is expending somuch energy managing my emotions con-cerning the cancer; allowing me to live andbehave in a semi normal-type routine, thatthe less significant issues in my life are left tofend for themselves. And it’s these less signifi-cant issues fending for themselves that seemto occupy and affect my consciousness morethan any other.

I don’t worry about the cancer; I mean,I’m not consumed by it, anxious because ofit, incapacitated having it. Hardly. I amaffected by it, of course. I am different. I amliving with a terminal disease – at age 56.Still, it doesn’t keep me awake – any more.Nor does it keep me from getting out of bed,getting dressed, performing all the “activitiesof daily living.” There are deficits to be surebut, overall, physically – and mentally, I’mfunctioning. All systems are not exactly go,but nor am I stuck in neutral either.

However, I do worry about things nowthat I never used to worry about. The kindsof things which long ago I stopped worryingabout and/or had allocated/compartmental-ized in a part of my brain/head which madeliving – for me, relatively manageable. With-out being too specific – or boring, the thingsto which I’m referring are small things, unim-portant things, things which doing or notdoing or doing them now – or doing themlater, or not even doing them at all or doingthem in due course, seem to weigh on memore heavily than ever: shopping, laundry,banking, bill-paying, errands, preparingmeals, travel/travel planning, etc.; mundane,everyday-type stuff. Stuff which had becomesecond nature; heck, stuff which for me hadbecome “third nature.” But not anymore.

I don’t mean to imply that I’m a bundle ofnerves if I have to leave the house at a certaintime to drive to an unknown destination, asone of many examples of everyday activitiesthat now stress me out. But I am definitely nolonger the “smooth operator” (inside joke)that I used to be. Moreover, it’s not as if Ican’t get out of my own way or I’m a totalklutz and/or incompetent (I didn’t say incon-tinent; so far, that’s not my problem), it’smore about feeling unprepared, disorgan-ized, forgetful, neglectful about things in lifethat require a certain attentiveness. And it’sthat lack of attentiveness to basic details, sortof, that worries me. None of it used to mat-ter, now all of it seems to. It was never impor-tant, now it dominates what I think mostabout.

Doctor’s appointments, lab work, chemo-therapy, quarterly scans, refilling prescrip-tions; none of it bothers me. Deciding whatto wear bothers/worries me more. Big stuffdoesn’t bother me. Little stuff does. In fact,the bigger the better I am; the smaller thestuff, the worse I am. I wish I could control itbut, per last week’s column, there are thingsthat I simply can’t control any more. And notbeing able to control things is scary because“control” is important to a cancer/terminalpatient’s survival – or so we’ve been told bythe health care professionals treating/takingcare of me. I’m not a lost cause or anything,yet, but I am wondering about cause andeffect.
