[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I genuinely think that one reason the city & SB want to keep one single HS is for athletics. With a school twice (?) the size of others in NoVa, they’ve got a nice deep bench to pull from.[/quote]

[b]And yet Alexandria City teams don’t dominate any sports.[/b] [/quote]

If we could get the gang-bangers to play soccer and football, we might be better at those two sports.

Girls volleyball and that one season about 12 years ago when the boys basketball won states. [/quote]

TC won the state championship in boys soccer in 2014. Girls made the final a few years ago.

[b]They were a boys basketball power for years, IDK why that fell apart.[/b][/quote]

The pandemic didn’t help. Unlike neighboring Arlington and Fairfax Counties, ACPS did not allow winter sports during the 2020-21 school year. Then the following year, unlike in neighboring Arlington and Fairfax Counties, fans were not permitted to the games during that winter’s covid wave. Arlington allowed fans after parent and student outcry. The superintendent then overruled the consultants.

Also there was some physical altercation in the stands between the coach and parents at an ACHS boys basketball game that resulted in the coach resigning. That was back in Dec 2021.

Hopefully the sports program will get stronger with the investment in new facilities like the new state-of-the-art regulation size natatorium. ACHS is the largest school in the state so there should be more state championships in the coming years. [/quote]
