Seneca Valley fell to Sherwood Monday night, 67-59, in an entertaining and spirited effort which saw four lead changes. The Screaming Eagles were challenging the visiting 4A Warriors all game, but an inability to convert free-throws and penchant for turnovers were the Eagles undoing. Early in the game, Seneca served noticed to the Warriors that this would not be an easy ride to victory. After Sherwood had staked themselves to 5-0 lead early, Seneca stormed back to outscore Sh

After a strong showing to get a win on the road at Bethesda-Chevy Chase on Friday, Coach Brian Humphries and Seneca Valley were hoping for a home win against basketball powerhouse Springbrook on Tuesday night but came up short in the tough game. Springbrook who blasted Poolesville last week, 74-49, in their season opener was too much for the Screaming Eagles. Springbrook took the 84-71 victory. Last Friday, Seneca travelled to Bethesda and defeated last year’s 4A state finali

Coming off of a one-win season in 2013-2014, last year’s 12-5 Seneca Valley team was the surprise team representing Montgomery County in the Regional Finals against Linganore in March. A young team returning most of their starters, should be considered a target, but second-year head coach Brian Humphries disagrees. “We will be considered underdogs in our first several games of the season with our difficult schedule this year, so the underdog tag still works for us,” said Hump

Seneca Valley High School presents its Fall play, “The Laramie Project” in the Seneca Valley Auditorium on December 3, 4, and 5 at 7:00 pm. "The Laramie Project" is “a breathtaking collage”, depicting the town of Laramie, Wyoming learning to cope with the cost of hatred. In 1998, 21-year old college student Matthew Shepard was attacked, beaten, and tied to a fence on the outskirts of the town because of his sexual orientation. The brutal murder spurred a national dialogue ab

Germantown continues to be a hotbed for football, as both Germantown teams have plans of going deep into the playoffs in 2015. The Northwest Jaguars completed their regular season with a 49-7 dubbing of Wootton while their counterparts from just up Great Seneca Highway ended their season with a sound 35 victory over Gaithersburg. Both teams have locked up playoff berths in their respective divisions. The Jags ended the season with a 7-3 record, in third place in the 4A West,

The Seneca Valley offense may have scored all but one of the touchdowns in Friday night’s 49-7 drubbing of the Blake Bengals, but they owe many of those touchdowns to the strong play of their defensive secondary. The Screaming Eagles defense had five interceptions in the game, most of which set up the offense with a short field for a touchdown, and one went for a pick-six. Seneca Valley’s defense set the tone on the first series, after a 30-yard pass play which had the Bengal

The first quarter of Seneca Valley’s match up with the Wheaton Knights at Blair Stadium, didn’t really go the way the Screaming Eagles wanted, but it didn’t go the way the Knights would have wanted either. The first three plays from scrimmage were not great, as the Screaming Eagles offense went three-and-out. However, Seneca Valley’s next three offensive plays would be for touchdowns. However, that was only after the Eagles went up 6-0 on a 50-yard punt return by senior Donov

The Northwest Lady Jaguars are gearing up for a playoff run. Last year, the Jags lost in the quarterfinals of the regionals to Whitman at Wootton High School, and ended the season with a 10-6-1 record. This season, the Lady Jags are on a similar pace, and last night’s 8-1 victory over Seneca Valley improved their record to 5-2-1, with four more games remaining in the 2015 regular season. Seneca Valley has struggled in recent years to beat Northwest. The Jags have not lost to

In the past Seneca Valley Head Coach Fred Kim has said that Petey Gaskin is a “great game manager,” however last night the senior quarterback showed that is also a great play maker. Gaskins threw for four first-half touchdowns as the Screaming Eagles whipped up on Watkins Mill 61-0. Friday night’s homecoming game was delayed for almost 90 minutes by a quick rainstorm and persistent lightning over Montgomery County. (Most games were delayed, and one game – the Walter Johnson v

While the Montgomery County budget crunch pushed back the much anticipated revitalization of Seneca Valley High School for one year, the project will not suffer further delays, according to Councilmember Craig Rice. “Although it was a very painful decision to make, due to budget constraints, to delay Seneca Valley’s revitalization for one year,” said Rice. “Seneca Valley will continue to be on schedule. We will not let Seneca Valley slip. We are in the midst of our six-year C

Seneca Valley’s backfield of Adrian Feliz-Platt and Darius Golston combined for seven touchdowns. Feliz-Platt had four for the third straight game this season. Golston had three. On Friday night, the Eagles battled Magruder and a driving rainstorm at Harvill Stadium in Gaithersburg to win 53-24. On a weekend when the weather forced every game in MoCo to be played at a location that which it wasn’t originally scheduled, the Seneca Valley at Magruder game was one of the few tha
