Not sure of the final score, Brentsville led Madison 6-1, with about 15 minutes to play when I left.  It was getting a bit too dark to keep shooting.  Madison’s goal was on a PK by Stephen Dixon.  Brentsville’s goalie blocked Stephen’s first shot, but Stephen put in the rebound for the score (last photo below).

Well, it was softball’s turn last night….but their umpires were late, and I hated to waste what little daylight is available these days…so I headed over to baseball.  Austin Wells pitched a great game for Madison before being pulled in the top of the eighth inning with Madison and Page tied at 3.  After that, it didn’t go so well for Madison, eventually losing to the Panthers 8-4 in eight innings.

I think Madison got a bit of a break on this next play, the whole sequence is in the gallery….

First up was the ladies (click on a picture to go to the gallery)

Next up, the men…..

WOW.  That was fun!  So, this is going to be a LONG post.  Today’s 5K race was a fundraiser for the Madison Primary School Playground Drive (click the link for more info)(click on any photo to see the entire gallery).  (HERE are a few of the sunrise photos a little larger.)

The day started with an awesome sunrise…

There was an obstacle course set up for kids aged 5-9. Ben and Travis tried out the course beforehand….

I’m thinking I should have sponsored Ryan and Drew…Thanks guys!! 🙂

Leprechaun Fran Roebuck, with her starting horn, and MPS principal Mike Allers…just before the start of the race.

Drew seemed to get a little overly excited as Valerie Miller announced the obstacles that would be on the course 🙂

And…they’re off….I think around 80 competed..

I’m thinking….MUD under this next year???? Pretty please?

Chuck Love came in first overall, with a time around 22 minutes, I think. Julia Wood, 13, pictured here, was first for the ladies, and I believe she was only about 20 seconds behind Chuck. That’s FAST!

Ben and Luke, also VERY FAST!

Mr. Young and his daughter…lots of parents running with their kids. That was cool!!

Jon James blasting some tunes…

Fran, and MANY volunteers, kept the runners on course.

Head first was the way to go folks.

BEST. PICTURE. EVER!!

The winners, overall: Chuck Love (back, in orange) for the guys, and Julia Woods for the ladies.

I believe times and results will be on the MPSPlayground.com website in the next day or so.

When I left after five and a half innings, Orange was leading Madison 6-5.  I haven’t heard the final… (click on a picture to see the entire gallery from the games)  ScrimmagePlay.com article on the game, and a slideshow.

Madison JV baseball defeated Orange 7-4.  And I have a bunch of favorites from the game….SO MUCH better to shoot baseball in daylight!  Shooting under the lights just SUCKS!

James Graves got the win on the mound.

Billy Dean got the save.
