The regular season is wrapping up, and area baseball teams look for momentum heading into tournaments.
Each area baseball team played two important games last week, heading into tournament season. The Osbourn Park Yellow Jackets (OP) won both games for the week. They opened up with a game against Gar-Field, which they were able to win easily by a final score of 7-2. But the Jackets met a tougher match later in the week in the Forest Park Bruins. Still, OP was able to hang on once again as they topped Forest Park, 5-1. With the two victories, Osbourn Park now has an overall record of 14-6 to go along with a 9-3 record in the Cardinal District.

Local baseball teams have winning week.
All three Manassas area high school baseball teams scored wins this week. Osbourn, Osbourn Park, and Stonewall each played twice and the teams posted a combined 5-1 record for the week. Osbourn Park was able to get back on track after hitting a brief rough patch a couple weeks ago. The Yellow Jackets began the week by beating Freedom (Prince William), 17-1. Osbourn Park dominated the entire game offensively and defensively. The second game of the week for the Yellow Jackets was against Hylton, one of the best teams in the area this year.

Eagles baseball defeats top team in the district so far this season; while the Yellow Jackets of Osbourn Park suffer two losses, slipping to third place.
Baseball season is now half-way done, and things are really starting to heat up. Each of the Manassas-area teams played two games this past week and some of the results were rather surprising. Osbourn Park, who got off to a hot start, lost both of their games this past week. The first contest of the week for the Yellow Jackets was on Tuesday as they squared off against Forest Park. The Bruins have also had a solid season to this point and many were looking forward to a close and entertaining game between the two teams. Instead, it turned out to be a lopsided victory for Forest Park as they breezed past Osbourn Park with a 7-1 win. The Yellow Jackets played again on Friday night, hoping to bounce back from a frustrating loss. This time …

From a new head coach to new faces, the Stonewall girls basketball team looks to keep one thing constant: their continuous level of excellence.
Despite a new coach, a new crop of faces, and the departure of last year’s seniors, the Stonewall Jackson girls basketball team is in the running to be this year's state champions. The Lady Raiders fell in last year’s state final to Princess Anne 65-39, but the lopsided loss has not deterred the girls from continuing to play with the ultimate goal of winning a state championship. Ryan Jordan is one of two seniors on the team. The power forward will be a guiding force for the Raiders. Jordan recently committed to Hampton University and looks to help the girls one up last year's team. “As a senior, I’d like to lead my team to a state championship, but in order to get to such a point, we have to emphasize team chemistry-the feeling of family…

Joe 15 Team, created by Joe Page's mother after his death, celebrated its fourth award this week for community service.
On February 3, 2008, Joe Page was shot on a porch by uninvited guests to a Super Bowl party he was attending. He was flown to Fairfax Hospital and died four days later. His mother, Debbie Page-Maples, said that her memories of seeing Joe’s friends standing in the hallway during his time in the hospital left an impression on her. “After he died, I knew I had to do something to honor him, and all of these young people who had come into our lives,” Maples said. That summer, she started The Joe 15 Team, a community service and charity organization that gathered members at Manassas Park Middle School Tuesday night to celebrate the newest of four awards: The 2011 Virginia Education Association’s Fritz Turner Award for Human Relations and Civil …
