In the next day’s press, both the Grafton Clippers and the Western Albemarle Warriors received praise for thrilling seasons following their performances in the Virginia Group AA/A state championship field hockey game, but Western Albemarle returns home from the expansive artificial fields of the National Training Center in Virginia Beach with a more substantive sign of their efforts—the title of state field hockey champs. The Hampton Roads Daily Press writes following Saturday’s game that the WAHS Warriors nabbed the championship seconds after a 15-minute overtime period concluded.

WAHS keeper Lindsay Gibson faced only five shots in the Warriors 2-1 win.
