Despite comeback, Westfield falls to Oakton in the championship game.
When the Westfield and Oakton boys lacrosse teams met in the regular season, the Cougars had the lead at halftime only to see the Bulldogs catch up and get ahead for the win.

Wildcats Fall in District Title Game
Early deficit too much for Centreville to overcome.
Looking to unseat the reigning Concorde District Champions, the Centreville High girls lacrosse team aimed for a similar early dominance they had over the Oakton Cougars the first time they met up this season.

The Wildcats fell short of the Concorde District title in a 14-7 loss on Friday. "Oakton consistently every year gets better as the year goes on. We prepared to play a new team. We knew they would come out hard, prepared and better," Assistant Coach Christina Griel said. "We just made some mistakes today that were detrimental." The Cougars tallied the first goal, which the Wildcats answered with a goal …
