After the whistle sounded, a depressed Rappahannock team shook itself off and began to regroup for this week's contest against crosscounty rival Wakefield Country Day School.

They were really good—the best ever that I’ve played against,” remarked one Panther, a veteran of several year's competition in Fauquier’s adult soccer league.

This Friday’s game against Wakefield begins at 4 p.m. on the Huntly school’s field.
