Meridian junior Drew Fishel (far right) shot a 74 to tie for fourth place at the Class 3 State Golf Championship, earning All-State honors and helping the Mustangs finish third in Virginia.

It was a light week for sports action at Meridian High School, but with fall playoff season coming up right around the corner, it won’t stay that way for long. Let’s take a look at where every Mustang program stands.

Football was on a bye week, remaining 3-3 before gearing up for the road contest at Brentsville this week. PJ Anderson’s squad has had a few key players out injured who they’ll be hoping to get back on Friday night.

Field hockey finally returned home for the first time in nearly a month, beating Thomas Edison 6-0 last Wednesday a day after taking down Liberty (Bealeton) 7-0 on the road. That brings them to 11-1 on the season, with all eleven wins coming consecutively after dropping their season opener back on August 25th. This week, they’ll host Kettle Run tonight.

The boys’ volleyball team took a pair of road losses, in three sets at Herndon last Tuesday and in four at Marshall last Thursday. That drops them to 3-13 for the year, with a chance to get back in the win column at South Lakes tonight. The girls meanwhile kept on rolling, holding serve in two home games against Brentsville on Monday and Fauquier last Tuesday, each in three sets. They’ll be at Manassas Park tonight as they look to extend their winning streak to five, while improving upon their 11-5 overall record.

Cross country was off this past week, but will compete in the Third Battle Invitational this coming Saturday. That will wrap up their regular season.
