The Robinson Rams (9-3) host Oakton in a pivotal Concorde District matchup. Both teams are undefeated in district play and Robinson enters the contest carrying a five-game win streak. Oakton has an unblemished record on the season and is coming off of a dominating 70-33 victory over Chantilly. Robinson hasn’t beaten Oakton in at least six seasons and a win would give the Rams a much needed edge over Oakton in district standings.

Annandale wrestler Dane Harlowe (126 lbs.) has emerged as one of the region’s premier grapplers and has contributed heavily to the Atoms’ success this winter.

Williams on Jan. 14.
West Springfield - Boys & Girls Swim & Dive – Friday, Jan. 13 at 6 p.m.
West Springfield swimmers and divers have breezed through their completion this year. The Spartans are 5-0 on the season and face their toughest opponent to date in Woodson this Friday at the Lee District RECenter in Franconia. Woodson is also 5-0 and tallied 241 points in its last outing. With two meets remaining in the regular season, the winner of Saturday’s meet will likely capture the regular season Patriot District title.
Lake Braddock - Boys Basketball vs. T.C. Williams – Friday, Jan. 13 at 7:30 p.m.
The Bruins host T.C. Williams this Friday and will go for their tenth victory of the season.
