Thursday Night Lights: High School Sports Roundup

Typically Friday night is the time when Woodbridge area football stadium lights are ablaze, but in observance of Jewish holiday Yom Kippur a few major varsity games were played Thursday night instead of Friday.

Woodbridge Patch rounded up the local games and snapped some photos for your viewing pleasure. A cross-town match-up against Woodbridge Senior High School and Gar-Field Senior High School's varsity field hockey teams was played despite the intermittent rain. In an under-attended game, the Vikings swept the Indians, 5-0.

Thursday night was also the kick-off of the Vikings' varsity football game at home but the threat of more rain and a pre-season record of 0-2 may have kept the fans at home a bit longer.

Colin Ginther reported on the game, for a full update on the WSHS verses Stafford game, click here. Patch will also be debuting a final glimpse of most at-home varsity football games for Woodbridge, Gar-Field and our newest addition, Freedom high schools.
