The week of April 6 to April 10 was mostly a bye week, so there was not much action for Fluco spring sports teams.
But some teams started strong.
The softball team, under coach Aime McCall, won its first four games, including two 18-run outings. The Flucos opened with an 18-4 win over Liberty Christian Academy, followed by an 18-5 win over Madison County. They then earned a 3-0 victory over Jefferson District opponent Monticello High and topped another district foe, Albemarle High, 12-2.
The baseball team, under new coach Jacob Critzer — a former catcher on the Flucos’ state championship team — started 3-1. The team traveled to Myrtle Beach over spring break and has recorded wins over Madison County and Jefferson District opponent Albemarle.
The boys lacrosse team opened 3-3, with a 2-1 record in Jefferson District play. Two of those district wins came by lopsided scores over Charlottesville and Monticello High. The win over Monticello marked the Flucos’ first victory over that rival in program history.
The boys’ soccer team has started 3-2-1, and in all three wins and the tie, their opponents were shut out. The girls’ soccer team has started 2-3-1, with wins over Madison County and a tie against Albemarle.
Outdoor track and field did not begin competition until April 10, but is expected to have a strong season.
Scores and outcomes reported above come primarily from the MaxPreps website.
