• Cameron McWhinney, Loudoun Valley, Sr. -- Defenseman led of a unit that yielded fewer than eight goals per game last season. He and Broad Run junior Paul Hagood are the Dulles District's top two defenders.

• Jasmin Merida, Broad Run, Sr. -- All-District and All-Extra goalkeeper started well this season with 15 saves in victory over Stone Bridge on Thursday.

STORY LINES

• Will the Loudoun Valley and Stone Bridge boys remain the top teams in the Dulles District?

The Vikings' roster includes 15 seniors among the 30 players, a wealth of experience that should give them an edge this season. Last year, Loudoun Valley's only losses were to Stone Bridge and in the region playoffs. "We've probably got more all-around talent than we've had in the past three years," Coach Bill Schoeb said.

The Bulldogs have had to replace 12 seniors from last year's team, and Dunn is the only returning starter. Stone Bridge's 32-player roster includes nine sophomores and eight freshmen. "The question for us right now is, who is going to score the goals?" Coach Brent Miller said.

• How good are the Highland boys?

The Hawks return many talented players, including Bell, an all-state player a year ago, and Andrew Raich, who has signed to play for Army. Highland was runner-up in The Independent Lacrosse Tournament Division II last year and has won 33 consecutive games against Delaney Athletic Conference foes.

• Can the seasoned Broad Run girls challenge Loudoun Valley for the Dulles District title?

Broad Run returns every member of last year's squad, which lost in the first round of the district tournament. Merida and attack Alex Gallo lead the way for the Spartans, who defeated Stone Bridge, 7-5, on Thursday.

Loudoun Valley has several spots to fill but usually is the team to beat. Hilgartner and sophomore Renee Albro will try to help the Vikings to a third consecutive district championship.
