Monarchs capture district title, dominate Knights
Being on the team that wins your school’s first district title is a big deal- just ask Meadowbrook’s Monarchs. That’s the feat they set out to accomplish last Friday night.
Lady Knights win third straight title
When the Thomas Dale Lady Knights took the floor on Friday night in the Central District final, it would be the fifth meeting between them and the Monarchs of Meadowbrook. It would be a game in which Thomas Dale got the best of the Monarchs by a score of 56-43, securing the Lady Knights third straight regular season district championship and tournament championship.
Bird girls are back on track winning Districts
The evolution of the L.C. Bird girls’ basketball team has been a story to follow all season. That evolution reached a new level as they dispatched Cosby in the Dominion District finals 65-55 to secure the championship, as a balanced Bird offensive attack placed three players in double-figures in scoring. The title was the first for Bird since 2008.
Other district results
The L.C. Bird boys’ basketball team fell in the semi-finals last week to Huguenot, in a closely fought game 55-52 as Huguenot’s Jareese Cooley hit a lay-up with 8.3 seconds to go, and hit one of two foul shots to seal the win. A desperation three point attempt by Bird came close, but was wide left.
Monarchs induct six to Athletic Wall of Fame
Meadowbrook High School has produced the most big league athletes out of any other Chesterfield high school. Current PGA star John Rollins was preceded by World Golf Hall of Fame inductee Lanny Watkins, while brother Bobby Watkins continues his long career as a competitive member of the Nationwide Tour.
District playoffs loom
With the District Playoffs approaching, it’s time to examine where the Village News’ teams stand as they play their last games of the regular season this week.
