Nearly 100 James Wood High School athletes receive free physicals
July 19, 2010
By Vic Bradshaw
The Winchester Star
WINCHESTER- With two children likely to play a total of four or five school sports between them, Lynda Tyler is facing up to $375 in pay-to-participate fees in the coming school year.
Mandatory athletic physicals, which are not covered by the family's insurance, threatened to add another $350 to $400 expense for Chase and Loralee Tyler to be on James Wood High School teams in 2010-11, money difficult to come by in a weak economy.
But the latter expense will never come out of the Tyler checkbook. Thanks to the James Wood Touchdown Club and James Wood Athletic Association, the Tyler children received free physicals Saturday at the Winchester Medical Center campus.
"Now with pay-to-participate," Lynda Tyler said, "it's gotten to the point where (high school) sports are like a luxury, and I don't think they should be a luxury.
"I know a lot of people are struggling and there are a lot of people who want to participate in sports, and it can be financially prohibitive. [The free physicals] helps make it manageable," said Tyler, a former member of the Frederick County Board of Supervisors.
To balance the fiscal 2011 budget, the School Board in April agreed to implement a "pay to participate" program that requires high school athletes system-wide to pay $75 for each sport they play.

 From the way he carries himself to the sound his name makes every time it pops out of the loudspeakers at a sporting event, Brock Lockhart seems to have been pulled straight out of central casting for the role of a star high school athlete.
All the James Wood senior did to perpetuate that was break a 32-year-old school rushing record, help push his football and basketball teams to the regional playoffs, and lead his baseball team in batting.
The only area athlete to be voted an all-district performer in three sports this school year, Lockhart has been named The Winchester Star Boys' Athlete of the Year.
"It's your last year. You just want to do everything and not have any regrets," said Lockhart, who added basketball to his repertoire for the first time since his freshman year. "You don't want to look back and say, 'What if I worked harder?' You've just got to work hard every day."
Lockhart was working hard from the start of the school year, putting together the most prolific rushing display in James Wood history.
After rushing for 628 yards as a junior, the 6-foot-1, 180-pound running back piled up 962 yards through just the first four games of the season.
On Oct. 16 - seven games into the schedule - Lockhart surpassed Clayton Hartman's single-season school rushing record of 1,326, set in 1977.

Lock, Stock & Barrel: Colonels' senior a major contributor in three sports |

 WINCHESTER -- Nearly three years ago, Brock Lockhart was just a sophomore, just a scout team tailback, happy to be playing varsity football at James Wood.
Yet Colonels football coach Mike Bolin, then a James Wood assistant, noticed something in Lockhart rarely seen in other athletes.
Lockhart wasn't especially large or nimble, Bolin said, but he exuded intangible properties perceived most readily by a trained pair of eyes.
"You could tell he had a knack to run the ball," Bolin recalled. "Other guys might be faster or bigger than him, but he had a combination of things that made him a good runner.
"He had the physical tools and he had the mentality that he wanted the ball when the game was on the line."
It's a quality that stretched beyond the football season, into the basketball season, into the baseball season. It's a quality that made him The Northern Virginia Daily Male Athlete of the Year.

Boys’ Track Athlete of the Year James Thorne Jumping to new heights |
By Robert Niedzwiecki
The Winchester Star
 When James Thorne was a sophomore, the idea of competing for the track and field team didn’t seem too appealing.
“I didn’t really want to do it,” Thorne said. “But more and more people just started telling me to do it. I was just like, ‘I don’t know, it seems like a little too much running.’”
There was some. But more importantly, he had the opportunity to do all the jumping he could handle.
Thorne is The Winchester Star Boys’ Track and Field Athlete of the Year after he soared to places no one else could in 2010.
The James Wood senior led the area in all three jumps — the high (6 feet, 5 inches), the long (21-31/4), and the triple (44-1). No other athlete led the area in more than two events, and no one else consistently beat his competition in as many events as Thorne did.
He topped it off by medaling in two events at the Group AA meet, one of only four area athletes to accomplish that feat in a state meet this year and of only two in Group AA.

Colonels' duo ends surprising run in semis |

RADFORD -- It was almost hard to tell if Headley Wilson had won or lost in the Group AA individual girls doubles state semifinals on Friday. After the match was over, the James Wood junior had a big smile on her face.
Even though Wilson and Tarah Wampler lost 6-3, 6-3 to Jamestown's Whitney Simerlein and Leah Walter, Wilson realized how amazing the Colonels' run had been.
When the season started, James Wood had only three players show up for practice. A few days later Wampler, a freshman, and some others showed up. Wampler had never played tennis before the season, but still managed to make it to the state semifinals in doubles.
"We didn't anticipate being here so this is an accomplishment in itself, to be on these courts playing right now," Wilson said. "Our heads are still held high.
"We came up short a little bit today, but you know what, you have to look at all the other great experiences that we had. I mean Tarah, the experience of being here, it means the world."
