Stafford driver points gun during road rage incident A Stafford man is in jail after he admitted pointing a gun at another driver during a road rage incident Feb. 19 in North Stafford, according to Stafford County Sheriff ’s Office spokesperson Amanda Vicinanzo.

The victim told deputies that he was driving on Doc Stone Road near Juggins Road, where the two intersect at a traffic circle, when he came upon a stopped vehicle that was holding up traffic.

After the victim blew his horn, the other driver stuck his head out the window and words were exchanged, Vicinanzo said.

Shortly thereafter, the suspect reached into the back seat and then leaned out the window holding a firearm, she said.

Passengers in the suspect vehicle managed to subdue the suspect, who then drove away quickly. The victim followed the suspect vehicle to Stafford Marketplace and called the sheriff ’s office. Patrol units were unable to find the suspect vehicle.

Later in the evening, Deputy Taylor was patrolling in the area of Garrisonville Road and Wolverine Way when he saw a vehicle moving very slowly. The vehicle then pulled over and the driver got out.

The deputy realized the disabled vehicle was the one involved in the weapons incident earlier that day.

Additional units subsequently responded to the scene and Peter Burnett, 20, was PETER BURNETT taken into custody.

The deputy detected the strong odor of marijuana from that vehicle. A search of the vehicle yielded a substance consistent with marijuana and an open bottle containing an alcoholic beverage. A pellet gun was also found in the vehicle.

The Burnett confirmed that he was involved in the incident earlier in the day, and that he had pulled out the pellet gun during the altercation.

Burnett was incarcerated at Rappahannock Regional Jail without bond. He is charged with brandishing a firearm, contributing to the delinquency of a minor, driving suspended, possession of marijuana, drinking while operating a motor vehicle and unlawful possession of an alcoholic beverage.

Multiple suspects were arrested early Sunday morning by Stafford County Sheriff ’s Office deputies following a disturbance at a south Stafford hotel, according to spokesperson Amanda Vicinanzo.

On March 3 at 1:34 a.m., 1st Sgt. Neuhard responded to reports of a fight at the Clarion Inn, 564 Warrenton Road.

When he arrived, he saw about 100 people in the parking lot and Deputy Wright speaking with a male who was bleeding from his head.

The victim told Wright that he was hit over the head with a beer bottle while trying to break up a fight. He refused treatment by rescue personnel.

Then Deputy Wright heard yelling

and saw a group of 15 to 20 people on the side of the hotel. Two females were screaming at each other and wildly gesticulating as bystanders tried to pull them apart. Deputies ordered the group to KENDREA HALL leave, but the two females continued the altercation.

Kendrea Hall, 35, of Hagerstown, Md., was taken into custody as deputies detected alcohol from her and her eyes were glassy, deputies reported. She was held at Rappahannock Regional Jail until

Truck wreck with injury leads to DUI arrest A Triangle man faces drunken driving charges after he rolled a pickup truck, injuring an occupant Feb. 20, according to Stafford County Sheriff ’s Office spokesperson Amanda Vicinanzo.

Deputy Flick responded at 8:36 p.m. to the 3900 block of Jefferson Davis Highway in North Stafford for a single vehicle auto accident and found the remnants of a pickup truck, which had rolled over and destroyed a sign, Vicinanzo said.

The deputy talked with the three occupants of the vehicle, and they admitted they were not wearing seatbelts at the time of the accident.

Flick reported that he immediately detected the odor of an alcoholic beverage emanating from the driver, identified as Gerson Alexis Aguilar Matozo, 20.

Search warrants for blood were executed at a local hospital. The occupants of the vehicle were transported to the hospital for evaluation. One of the occupants, a 24-year-old male f rom Tr iang le, GERSON MATOZO suffered multiple lacerations to his forehead.

Matozo was charged with DUI maiming, DUI, reckless driving, failure to maintain control, underage possession of alcohol and drinking while driving.

He was held at Rappahannock Regional Jail without bond.

Stafford man scammed looking for employment A North Stafford resident recently fell victim to a scam offering employment by a company named “Shoppers, Inc.” through LinkedIn, according to Stafford County Sheriff ’s Office spokesperson Amanda Vicinanzo.

The man was told he would receive a package with instructions. The package

arrived and contained two checks for $2,950 each with instructions to deposit the checks and purchase Apple gift cards totaling $5,400. He was then told to send photos of the cards to the company. By the time the bank notified him that the checks had bounced, the cards had been redeemed.

Mass transportation for commuters to D.C. and Northern Virginia would help those areas as well, if we reduce the cars going there because there would be no need to build parking areas and roads to the parking areas as the number of cars increase. Our area would have to increase the parking areas but that could be done by building multi-story parking and not use up more land. Certainly, car pooling and a local transportation system that would connect to the mass transportation systems that D.C. and Richmond commuters uses are ways to reduce the number of cars on the road.

Many cities in the U.S. and in foreign countries, have developed systems that connect bus systems to train systems and even airports.

The longer we put off sustainable solutions to the traffic problems on I-95 and U.S. 1, the more expensive it will be. We have seen an increase in road rage, accidents and frustration as the traffic increases. Continuing the current road expansions and widening plans seems like continuing to make the same mistake repeatedly without solving the long-term problem. Someone once said, that making the same mistake repeatedly is a form of insanity. That seems to apply to how we deal with our area roads and overall transportation plans.

There were hundreds of firing positions, booby traps and lots of heavy artillery.

Over the past 10 years, hospital staff delivered over 7,800 babies, cared for more than 337,500 patients in the emergency department and performed over 20,900 surgeries, according to a news release.

Adult, junior and college volunteers at Stafford Hospital have donated more than 79,100 hours of their time to provide services to patients, visitors and hospital staff.

General Assembly expands revenge porn law to include fake nudes CAITLIN MORRIS » BY Capital News Service

RICHMOND — The Virginia General Assembly passed a bill to expand revenge porn laws to include realistic fake images.

In 2014, Virginia outlawed the dissemination of explicit photos or videos without the consent of the person seen in the images. The images may have been originally shared in agreement between both parties, but in cases of revenge porn, get posted online by people seeking to embarrass the victim.

“They put them on a website with the intent to coerce, harass or maliciously hurt those folks,” said Del. Marcus B. Simon, D-Fairfax.

Simon introduced HB 2678 to protect victims of an emerging trend known as “deepfakes.” These realistically fabricated images and videos are becoming more common as modern software develops and social media creates easier access to images.

“These days you don’t even need to actually have photos like that — of the person, in your possession … all you have to have are pictures of their face,” Simon said.

“You can use artificial intelligence to wrap that on the body.”

Roughly 10 million Americans have been threatened with or become victims of revenge porn. Women are twice as

Inside Nova/ North Stafford

likely to be threatened by men, according to a 2016 study by the Data and Society Research Institute.

“The non-consensual dissemination of intimate photos or videos is not just humiliating for victims, but it can also carry significant emotional, psychological and even financial repercussions,” Simon said.

In a 2015 study from the Cyber Civil Rights Initiative, 51 percent of victims of revenge porn indicated that they had considered committing suicide, and 39 percent said the crime affected their career and professional lives. Ninety percent of victims, according to the same group, are women.

Revenge porn laws now exist in 41 states and Washington, D.C., but according to Simon’s team, HB 2678 is “one of the first of its kind in the country.”

The bill adds language to existing law that includes protection for victims when their image is used in the creation, adaptation or modification of a video or picture.

Violators of the law could be charged with a Class 1 misdemeanor, which carries a sentence of up to a year in jail and a $2,500 fine.

“Deepfakes are yet another malicious tool used to harass and terrorize individuals, who are most often women,” Simon said.

If signed by the governor, the “deepfake” cyber harassment bill will go into effect July 1.

Riverside Center to stage ‘The Color Purple’ musical

GETTING READY TO READ SEUSS

Children at the Porter library’s Alphabet Soup program, took on the theme of Dr. Seuss the day before Read Across America Day on his 115th birthday, March 2. With the help of Maggie Gouker, the youth seminar program manager at Porter, mothers and 2 to 5-year-olds had fun with the lines and rhymes of Theodor Seuss Geisel, who produced thin volumes of children’s books about outlandish creatures, from the cat in the hat to the Grinch.

ALEKS DOLZENKO/INSIDENOVA

The Riverside Center for the Performing Arts in Fredericksburg will stage “The Color Purple” on Wednesday, March 13. and running until Sunday, May 5.

The Stafford County Cemeter y Committee will have a service of remembrance for the veterans interred at the Bethlehem Primitive Baptist Church.

A team of her own

AUBURN SOFTBALL COMMITMENT JESSIE BLAINE GAVE QUANTICO HIGH’S HOOPS TEAM A DIVISION I ATHLETE

DAVID FAWCETT » BY dfawcett@insidenova.com

On the first day of Quantico High School’s practice, Jessie Blaine noticed Sarah Spencer struggling to box out and properly time her jumps in rebounding the basketball. Blaine believed Spencer had potential but lacked confidence and technique.

So the 16-year-old sophomore proposed a solution: If Spencer was open to assistance, Blaine offered to spend extra practice time with the incoming freshman.

Spencer couldn’t say yes fast enough.

This was Jessie Blaine after all, the Auburn softball commitment here for one year while her father, Brian, attended a master’s program at Marine Corps University.

Other high schools might feature a steady flow of Division I prospects. But not Quantico.

The Marine Corps-base school of 126 students rarely if ever attracts someone with Blaine’s athletic pedigree. Families transfer in and out, and schools off base offer more competitive programs.

Blaine though, is the exception among the 71 boys and 55 girls, and she embraced this challenge with gusto, even if only for a single season with girls in some cases two years older.

Unlike her time on the travel-softball team circuit where she competes against players from all over the country with similar skill sets, Quantico’s 12-member varsity squad featured five girls who had never before played organized basketball and two others who are freshmen.

It was a perfect match.

They needed her experience and guidance. And Blaine wanted to lead a team.

“In a situation where my athleticism is at a different level, this is an opportunity to help the team and instill in them confidence,” Blaine said. “It was important that everyone got better.”

The 5-foot-10 Blaine won the opening tip against St. Michael the Archangel to start a Feb. 7 home game and quickly assumed her role as the best player on the court.

After St. Michael recorded the first basket, Blaine evened the game on a left-handed layup. She blocked St. Michael’s next attempt and then caused a turnover on the team’s following possession.

“Don’t let her get it,” the St. Michael coach exhorted his team to no avail.

She assisted a teammate on a jump shot and then scored off an offensive rebound. At the end of the first quarter, Blaine had six points and Quantico led 14-4. Another typical performance by Blaine was underway.

The tallest player on either team, she ran the point and drove to the basket

Jessie Blaine averaged 29 points a game in leading Quantico to the Delaney Athletic Conference Division 2 tournament title.

with equal ease, able to score a layup with either hand. She fed her teammates with spot-on passes and controlled the paint with her physical play.

She encouraged and instructed, offering a smile and a hand slap to acknowledge her teammates’ efforts.

As Quantico extended its lead against a team with only two victories (one via forfeit) and seven girls on the roster, Blaine sat on the bench for a good part of the game but still scored 23 points in the 42-12 victory. It was nothing new.

For the most part, the Warriors are on cruise control with Blaine at the helm. They win by an average of almost 20 points a game with Blaine (29.0 points a game) accounting for almost 60 percent of Quantico’s offensive production.

There are exceptions. Blaine stays in for the entire game if the score is close like the two matchups against Massanutten Military Academy when she recorded 45 and then 65 points. Or the two-point win over Randolph-Macon Academy when she scored 20 of the Warriors’ 38 points.

When Quantico girls head coach Paul Roy sees Blaine play, he shakes his head and can’t believe she’s here. But her parents had no plans to send her elsewhere.

Since her father is only stationed at Quantico for a year, it made sense for Blaine and her two younger sisters to attend base schools while living in base housing.

“She has been extremely instrumental in the success of our basketball team,” said Roy, who considers Blaine the best female athlete he’s seen in his 19 years at the school. “She will move on in a few months but we will all have enjoyed the leadership, teamwork and skills that she brought to our team.”

News of Blaine’s arrival spread quickly. When she enrolled at Quantico in mid-August and told the guidance counselor her name, the counselor said she already knew her through Google.

Blaine, he had one thought.

“I said to myself here we go again. We have another supposedly super athlete enrolling in school that will turn out again to be average at best,” Roy said.

Curious about Blaine’s background, he researched her online. He discovered she was the real deal. She was so

good, in fact, that FloSoftball rated Blaine the No. 1 catcher in the nation for the class of 2021.

When Roy heard she was going to play basketball at Quantico, he was more intrigued.

“Needless to say I was pleasantly surprised with her leadership abilities and her skill set,” Roy said.

Blaine knew Quantico’s girls team was inexperienced after talking with members of the school’s boys basketball players ahead of time. But she never wavered in her desire to play and help where needed.

“It presented a new opportunity to lead a new team,” Blaine said.

Blaine’s internal drive comes in all forms, whether in the classroom, where she carries a 4.0, in arm wrestling or in Canton, a board game the family started playing over Christmas break.

She welcomes all challengers. Even her training regimen is intense. She squats 270 pounds, bench presses 165 and squat cleans 185.

Growing up in a military family has also shaped her. Since her father was commissioned an officer in 2004, the family has moved 10 times. This is the Blaines’ fourth stop at Quantico.

“It’s a new situation,” Blaine said.

“There was nothing to adapt from. This is it.”

Raised on the principle of putting others first, Blaine never seeks the

spotlight. She realizes Quantico needs her to score for them to win and humbly accepts that role. But her main goal is raising her teammates’ level of play.

Roy is grateful for Blaine’s willing to step in as a second coach.

“I let her go,” Roy said. “I don’t stifle her initiative. She’s saying what I’m saying, and it means more coming from her.”

Blaine’s basketball season ended Feb. 23 when she led Quantico (17-1) to the Delaney Athletic Conference Division 2 Conference Tournament title.

The conference tournament also meant Blaine is done playing at Quan-

tico in any sport. On March 9-10, she begins her next athletic endeavor when travel-team softball gets underway. The demands of participating with a Georgia-based program will prevent Blaine from playing softball at Quantico.

So she’s soaking up this time as much as she can, cherishing every memorable moment. And there are many, from Sarah Spencer grabbing 10 rebounds in a game to Anika Davis’ historic free throw.

“To watch someone score their first point and to help them accomplish that, I’ve never felt that sense of pride,” Blaine said.

LIVING WITH DOGS | LAURIE C. WILLIAMS

From shelter dog to super star When the Washington Humane Society took in a scared and frail Jack Russell terrier found wandering the streets of our nation’s Capital, LAURIE no one could have C. WILLIAMS imagined what the future would hold for this little dog. Many rescue dogs with such humble beginnings are lucky just to find a forever home; but in Libby’s case, she hit pay dirt when Dr. Carole Nicholson, DVM, adopted her.

Nicholson, of Home Veterinary Care of Stafford, has been an area veterinarian for more than 30 years. In addition to providing quality veterinary care for our furry creatures, she has two other passions in life: Jack Russell terriers and competitive dog agility.

Fortunately for her, JRTs are well suited for the sport that requires coordination, athleticism and energy. Jack Russells have all of that and more.

Shortly after losing her beloved, older JRT Scamper in 2011, Nicholson decided to adopt the 4-month-old pup.

“I really hadn’t planned or expected to add another dog to our household so soon,” said Nicholson, “but the universe just spoke to me and said this little girl not only needed us, but we needed her.”

As a veterinarian, Nicholson recognized the importance of early training and socialization, so she enrolled Libby in puppy classes right away.

But she didn’t stop there. She continued from puppy into basic manners, then pursued Canine Good Citizen certification as well. And then once she was old enough, she started Libby in dog agility training.

Nicholson had dabbled in dog agility with her other JRTs, but she noticed Libby had a knack for it. Additionally, as a result of all the prior training, the two had developed a very special connection.

“It also didn’t hurt that she absolutely loved jumping and running around, and had plenty of energy,” laughs Nicholson.

But there is so much more to agility than that. The sport of dog agility is fun, fast paced, and if you’ve ever seen it on TV, the dog/human competitors make it look easy. It’s not.

Being successful in this sport takes a lot of dedication, training and practice, practice, practice. Through the years, Nicholson and Libby have participated in countless in-person classes, online classes, private coaching, and specialty dog agility seminars and workshops.

When asked how much time and money she’s spent on the activity, Nicholson blushes: “You don’t want to know!”

AUTOS WANTED

LIBBY

But the payoff has been twofold in not only the multiple ribbons, placements and competitive tiles they’ve earned along the way, but more importantly the bond and amazing relationship they have.

Perhaps the best payoff to date has been being selected to participate in this year’s Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show Master Agility Championship.

The competition was held Feb. 13 in New York City as part of the prestigious world renowned Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show.

Some 330 dogs competed, and she and Libby made it into the finals in the 12inch dog category. The competition was broadcast, and family and friends had the chance to watch the duo on national TV. “It was so exciting,” Nicholson exclaimed, “but I’m most proud of how well Libby handled the cameras, lights and crowd. All those things can be so stressful on a dog, but she handled it well!”

When asked if Libby has become jaded now that’s she a star, Nicholson laughed.

“No, she’s the same sweet, friendly girl she’s always been.”

But no time to rest on those laurels.

Next up is to earn the highly coveted American Kennel Club Agility Championship, and the two are on their way.

They are a great example of what can be achieved when dogs are given a chance to reach their full potential.

Stafford business owner Laurie C. Williams is a television personality, a nationally recognized dog trainer and a board member of the Dog Writer’s Association of America. She can be reached at info@ pupniron.com.

HOROSCOPES ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) After nearly nine years in Aries, Uranus, the planet of surprise, synchronicity and the unexpected has reached its peak. This hasn’t been a completely easy experience or a completely challenging one, rather a mix of both. You have probably learnt more about yourself than at any other time in your lifetime.

TAURUS (Apr. 21- May 21) In the lead up to his game changing return to Taurus, Uranus, the planet of surprise, synchronicity and the unexpected is spending his time in a nostalgic, reflective but also intuitive and imaginative part of your chart. No matter how busy you are, it is important to spend time navel gazing, lost in thought or where you can let your imagination run its course.

GEMINI (May 22-June 21) There is a sense of synchronicity in the air today that is impacting every aspect of your life, making it important to start the day with your mind and your options open. Be prepared for unexpected, serendipitous or eureka moments or for fate to put you in the right place at the right time.

Uranus, brings the unexpected in social and serendipitous part of your chart, with a final chance to work his magic before he leaves.

CANCER (June 22-July 22) You are in the finals of a long journey towards getting to the heart of your professional truth, your sense of purpose and to your real goals and ambitions. The reason you may have flip flopped over the years is that you have been on a journey to find your true path and in order to do that, you have had to explore as many options as possible.

Already it is becoming clear that life can’t be all work and no play.

LEO (July 23-Aug 22) The spirit of adventure won’t go off the boil because Uranus is due to leave an adventurous part of your chart and return to your career sector soon. Even though this will be the start of a major coming together of forces on the job and career fronts that will continue to deepen over the coming months and years, there is no threat to a sense of adventure. Dare to be spontaneous, seizing opportunities to escape when you can, even if it’s a 60 second vacation through your own imagination.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 23) While this is an important time for having your work and money hats on, in both cases, it is less about taking action or what you might do and more about the information and insight you are able to gain. On the financial front, it is about being alert for eureka moments or different ways of looking at things. On the job front, it is all about listening to your heart and gut, just as a new sense of job confidence should be taking hold.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 -Oct. 23) The playful and romantically charged lunar vibes

12

that are wrapping up have Venus, the planet of love on board. While Venus is here for the majority of March, the Moon is heading onto some important days on the job front. While they are still on the same page this is a chance to embrace Venus’ playful and romantically charged mandate.

Life doesn’t need to become all work and no play.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) No matter how busy you are, don’t shirk anything, delay or put anything off. If this means there aren’t enough hours in the day and you are pushed to the limit, this is the final sprint to get over the line, after which you can pull back. Uranus is in the last days of a nearly nine year visit to your work sector and with some fun, playful, romantic and creative days coming up, a normal balance can soon be restored.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) While a lot of your cosmic mates are in the front line of some major developments over the coming days, you have the advantage of being able to watch from the sidelines. Yes, Uranus’ departure from a playful part of your chart and return to your work sector will pour a massive amount of energy into your work situation, but Mars is already there, firing things up. It is on the personal front that this won’t have a major impact, with a strong sense of being centred, settled and grounded here to stay.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 20) There may be some pressure, but this is the final push to get through old barriers. You have a choice to either stick your head in the sand until it’s over or use this to take a brave approach to anything you might have been putting off.

Whether you do or don’t the pressure will be the same, so why not use this to your advantage? This is one of those times when you don’t know your own strength, with any move to put your shoulder to the wheel likely to work out in your favor.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 -Feb. 19) The Moon’s final hours in Aquarius are always an important time for having your finger on the pulse and ear to the ground, but your mind and your options open. This is an opportunity for a do over, especially if you weren’t ready to commit to anything during the New Moon during your birthday month. The Moon is not only amplifying your heart’s voice but some playful and adventurous energy in the air as well.

PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) As the Moon approaches its return to Pisces today, there is a need to have your finger on the pulse and ear to the ground, but your mind and your options open. A lot of things will fall into place over the next few days and new options open, with a need to keep your mind and your options open until they do.

Special Champions triumph at Stafford schools » PHOTOS AND STORY

BY ALEKS DOLZENKO The annual Special Olympics Virginia’s Basketball Championships made another stop in Stafford County on March 1-2.

The Special Olympians from throughout Virginia were in the county to play half-court, full-court and unified games of athletes with and without disabilities on the same team.

The more than 60 teams spent Friday afternoon in quick games to determine the brackets for Saturday’s competition.

The opening ceremony began with a presentation of flags by the Honor America Corps, Rappahannock Assembly, of Fredericksburg, as regional Knights of Columbus paraded on the basketball court. The national anthem was sung by Vikki Guss of Spotsylvania County.

An early evening game of unified competitors and humorous half-time antics, insurance company GEICO presented a check for $25,000 to Special Olympics Virginia.

GEICO’s Amanda Talbert noted, “GEICO is proud to be the host for Special Olympics Virginia Basketball Championships. For over 20 years this has been a great opportunity for our Fredericksburg associates to celebrate alongside athletes from around the state.”

Special Olympics Virginia’s president, Rick Jeffrey, said that “Basketball is the ultimate team sport for our Special Olympics athletes. Besides the obvious aerobic benefits, our Special Olympics athletes learn teamwork, communication, trust and shared responsibility. “ Jeffrey added that, “GEICO and the Stafford County Public Schools have been sponsors and supporters for the SOVA Basketball Championships for 23 years. Great volunteers and great venues in an inclusive community make for a great tournament.”

After the check presentation, The Shining Stars Special Olympians’ cheerleaders were introduced on the court and the Colonial Forge Dance Team performed for the packed gym.

A the conclusion of the unified game, Stafford County Sheriff ’s Office deputies, Sheriff ’s Cadets and members of the Special Star Force marched onto the court into a formation leading to the Olympic cauldron.

Chris Raupp, Tori Martin and Josh Norris — and she lit the flame, kicking off the official competition.

After an afternoon of competition, the Special Olympians moved from the court to the dance floor to finish the evening, ready for another day of competition.

The Stafford Titans Blue team, composed of both high school and young adults with intellectual disabilities, ranged in age from 16 to 27 year old and were grouped based on skill level, coach Brian Alden said.

“For this year’s competition my team played in one division higher than in the past and candidly the team played their best basketball all season even being in higher skilled division,” Alden said.

In the first game the team was down 20-2 at halftime and by the end of the third quarter they pulled to tie. Ultimately the score was 32-28 against the Titans Blue.

The team fared better in the second game and went into a 5 minute overtime after being tied at 22. The Titans ended up winning 30-26.

“It’s safe to say my coaching style is like many other Special Olympics coaches not only in Stafford but across Virginia,” Alden said. “I want my athletes to improve their skills, do their best, be good sports, but most importantly have fun! Fist bumps and Hi 5s are always encouraged!”

Luke Owen, coach of The Bulls from Prince William, noted that the athletes were awesome. “… it always amazes me how fiercely competitive they are, each and every time they take the court,” Owen said.

“Most of all they had fun, and were able to come together against some really good teams from all over VA.” Local teams that earned medals during the March 2 competition at Stafford County schools included the Spotsy Raptors taking silver/second place.

The Jedi’s (Area 23) took bronze/ third place.

At Rodney Thompson Middle, the Spotsy Thunder played for bronze/third place, as did the Stafford Titans Blue team.

At Stafford Middle School, the Titans Red team won silver/second place, and the Rebels (Area 23) took home the bronze/third place.

In the half-court games at Colonial Forge High, the Spotsy Tigers (Area 11), got fourth place.

The Stafford Titans Division 7 (Area 11), settled for fourth place, while the Gentle Giants (Area 11) took silver/second place.

The Stafford Titans Division 9 took home silver/second place.

The Spotsy Knights earned the silver/ second place In Unified teams play at Mountain View High, the Stafford Titans Scarlet team won bronze/third place.
