Woodbridge Senior High School Lady Vikings basketball teams has high hopes for the 2010-2011 season.
Getting to the Virginia state athletic tournament in any high school sport can oftentimes be a lofty goal. But for Coach George Washington and this season's Viking girls varsity basketball team, such a goal may be within sight. "I would like for us to be a lot more competitive have a shot at district, regionals and make it to the state tournament," said Coach Washington. "But it's going to take a lot of hard work." Washington noted that his team this year is older – with eight seniors, three juniors, one sophomore and one freshman -- but that his key players were all with him last year, so he anticipates a strong season.

The process of renovating the gym started in late May when contractors began surveying conditions and after county officials made an inspection of the old floor and deemed it unsafe. While the gym was still under construction during the first week of school, WSHS' Activities Director Karl Kerns said it had no affect on the physical education classes held in the gym's facilities. "This new floor was built on top of the existing floor so we need to make some more adjustments before games can be played in here," said Kerns. "Since we built on the floor the basketball hoops are no longer ten-feet-tall and we need to put in …
