US Lacrosse states that an Academic All American " is a player who exhibits exemplary lacrosse skills and excellent sportsmanship on the field while also representing high standards of academic achievement in the classroom."
Jess was a great leader and really helped to make those around her better. Moving into the upper division of the ISL, this team had a lot of success and finished in fourth place. The Huskies also made it to the State Tournament ranked #6 in Virginia. Congratulations Jess!

In the fourth game the Huskies gained the lead and never gave it up winning the final game 25-19. The match had really long rallies and just when you thought the point was over, back over the net came the ball. It was very exciting to watch. Some great serving and hitting along with some great defensive plays by both teams made this a very fun match to watch. The Huskies improve to 26-2 on the year as they head into the ISL tournament. Junior Jess F. led a solid defensive effort with 12 digs, flying all over the court. Marolyn P. had 18 kills, while Tori J. tallied 16 kills and 24 assists. It was a total team effort as the Huskies captured it's first City Championship. Go Huskies!
JV Volleyball Wins Tournament 11/2/2009 Georgetown Day School hosted the ISL JV Volleyball tournament this past Friday and Saturday. All of the teams in the ISL participate. The Huskies played four games on Friday and won each of them 2-0. The Flint Hill team then advanced to the semi-final game on Saturday morning where they faced Maret. The Huskies were ready for the Maret Frogs and beat them 2-0. In the finals the Huskies faced Madeira and won 2-0 to win their second straight ISL JV Volleyball Tournament Title. Sophomores Maggie J. and Elise M. both earned All Tournament Team selections. Congratulations!
Girls' Soccer Shares ISL AA Championship Title 10/28/2009 The Girls' soccer team has accomplished an impressive feat this fall. Having just moved up to the AA Division of the ISL this season, after winning the A Division last year, they earn the title of Co-Champions of the AA Division regular season title. Typically teams that move up into the harder division just want to make sure they are competitive and stay in the upper division for the next season. To be able to come up to the tougher AA Division and tie for the title this year is amazing. While all teams have to deal with injuries, the Huskie's soccer team lost it's starting senior goalie. A Sophomore that had not played the position before, stepped right in. What a memorable season for Head Coach Nicole Barber. Congratulations, and we wish them Good Luck in the ISL Tournament! Go out and support your Huskies!!
Volleyball Wins ISL Championship 10/28/2009
Flint Hill went undefeated in the ISL this season. With a 3-0 win over the Saints last night, they clinched the ISL AA Volleyball Championship. In an ISL and WCAC tradition, Flint Hill will face the winner of the WCAC on Monday for the City Championship. The ISL tournament is also next week, followed by the Virginia State Tournament. The Huskies are currently ranked #1 in the State Poll. This team recently helped Head Coach Carroll Anderson win her 150th victory. Come on out and support the Huskies!
Success At Homecoming 10/27/2009 The Flint Hill Huskies definitely did not allow the rain to dampen their desire to win—two teams went into double overtime, with one team earning a tie and the other winning in dramatic fashion. The Huskies had two wins and two ties for the day.
The competitions began with the Varsity Volleyball team looking to defeat another ISL opponent, Georgetown Visitation. In an early morning game, the Huskies defeated Visitation 25-8, 25-9, and 25-15. The Huskies can win the ISL title with a win on Tuesday. This game marked Coach Carol Anderson’s 150th win with the Volleyball program.
The Girls’ Soccer team took to the field next, hosting Wilson High School. In a very evenly matched game, Wilson squeaked a goal in shortly before halftime. The Huskies came out on fire in the second half, creating a lot of scoring opportunities, and Marlo S. put a beautiful goal in the back of the net with 12 minutes to play. In the final two minutes, a few game winners just missed the goal, and Gracie C. made some great saves in goal for the Huskies. Husky defenders Megan H., Katrina N. and Hanna D. played great from start to finish. With some great plays by the goalkeepers, neither team would score again, with a final score of 1-1 in double overtime.
The Boys’ Soccer Team hosted MAC rival St. Andrews. It was the Huskies who got off to a great start with Freshman Gabby B. forcing the St. Andrew’s keeper to make a save after 30 seconds. Once the game settled, there were few chances in the first half due to wet conditions and good defending by both teams. Flint Hill had more possessions in the second half and created a number of good goal-scoring chances. The Huskies also played their best defensive game of the year, with the back four and keeper making no mistakes and keeping St. Andrews at bay. With two minutes to go, a sweeping move down the field allowed Senior Joe B. to spin his marker and lay a perfect pass to fellow Senior Martin B. His shot skipped narrowly past the post. After giving their all, Flint Hill recorded its first shut-out of the season to finish the game with a 0-0 tie.
When the rain really started, the football game began! In front of a dedicated crowd, the team made some great plays—on both sides of the ball—throughout the game. The Huskies scored first on a run by Alex C. in the second quarter to give the Huskies a 7-0 lead at halftime. The defense really played well in this game, especially Travis W., who led the team with 20 solo tackles and 10 assisted tackles. The defensive unit held Maret four times on the goal line. Alex C. had 18 rushes for 85 yards, but the most exciting was the touchdown in double overtime to win the game, 13-7.
Head Volleyball Coach Wins Number 150 10/26/2009 Head Coach Carrol Anderson has been coaching the Flint Hill Volleyball program for the past seven years. This past Saturday, on Homecoming, her team won again and for Head Coach Anderson it was win #150. Anderson's team's goals for this season are to repeat what they did last year, winning the ISL League Title and the Virginia State Title. The Huskies host their final ISL team on Tuesday at home, and with a win will clinch the ISL Title. Currently ranked #1 in the State the Huskies are excited for the opportunity for another Virginia State Title. GO Huskies!
Girls' Soccer On The Move 10/15/2009 The Flint Hill Girls' Soccer team moved up to the AA Division in the ISL after winning the A Division last fall. Being in the AA Division has suited this team well as they just keep on winning. Coach Barber's team has had big wins over perennial powerhouses National Cathedral School and Sidwell Friends. One of the fastest players on the field, senior Kim T., has been leading the team this season in scoring along with freshman phenom Marlo S. These two players combined with great leadership from captains Alie F., Meghan H. and Calla M., and with an overall hardworking team, have certainly made for a memorable season!
9/8/2009 The Flint Hill Volleyball team traveled to Richmond to play in the two-day Richmond Showcase Tournament this past weekend. They were hoping to see Chantilly in the finals having lost to them in this season's opening match. They did not overlook any team in this stacked tournament on their way to taking the first place trophy.
9/1/2009 Most athletes, after a week of two-a-day pre-season practices, would take the weekend off. Not the FHS Cross Country runners. The Northern Virginia Training Center held its 4th Annual 5K "Race into Autumn" this past Saturday, August 29. Three Flint Hill Cross Country athletes helped sweep the 15-19 year-old age group.
