Landon v. StA, Senior Profile, Bear Trax, Bears Title in Water Polo, MS Team wins IAC Cross Country and Opponents’ Records
Fifteen Bear seniorswore their Brown & White football uniforms proudly for the last time on Saturday at Saterlee-Henderson Field; though many Bear Moms and Dads, as well as fans, were proud of their sons’ efforts this year, this day ended with an unfortunate loss to the Bulldogs, 21-13. From a long term Landon team perspective, this team and the athletic program benefitted from a number of players, who heretofore had not competed on the football field, but who exhibited the school unity by not just coming out for the team, but by being key contributors to this effort.
While all Bear fans had aspirations for a better win/loss record, the 20 members of the class of 2013, the six sophomores, the JV team and other band of Bears (like the 2011-2012 Varsity Basketball) will benefit from the precedent and pride that these multi-sport athletes established by deciding to value their participation in this team, albeit not their primary sport, above individual consideration!
Such prioritizing team performance over “star” behavior is the essence of the phrase “That’s a Bear”; Landon boys recognize that being part of a team enhances the experience of all of their Bear buddies and is selfless action versus placing preference on an individual’s value is selfish. The boys, who showed the leadership to attract their classmates to play, and the true Bears, who took the risk of injury and put “we” ahead of “I”, are to be commended. Their choices are to be emulated by all Bears.
The struggle highlighted above was the emblem of the day on Saturday. The Bulldogs took an early 7-0 lead (at 8:39 of the 1st Q) and the Bears tied up the score about 3 minutes later (6:33) on a Charlie Schnider one yard run with an Alexander Moffett PAT.

As the Virginia men’s basketball team prepares to open the season Sundayagainst South Carolina State, Coach Tony Bennett still is trying todetermine whether to redshirt guard<http://stats.washingtonpost.com/cbk/players.asp?id=109417&team=618> PaulJesperson or forward<http://stats.washingtonpost.com/cbk/players.asp?id=109419&team=618> DarionAtkins. Bennett said Thursday he would discuss the matter with the playersand his staff over the next few days. The Cavaliers redshirted forward<http://stats.washingtonpost.com/cbk/players.asp?id=97112&team=618> JamesJohnson last season.
In recent weeks, Virginia participated in closed-door scrimmages atVanderbilt and at home against Baylor. The Cavaliers also held an intrasquadscrimmage Wednesday night. Bennett said the inexperience of Jesperson andAtkins (Landon) showed during those particular workouts.
“I think they both have a nice future; I really do,” Bennett said. “As I’vewatched them now, they’ll develop. But you also see some of the lack ofexperience from playing high school basketball and stepping into thesesettings. In these scrimmages you see it when you’re going against some ofthe players that we get to play against. I like their future. It’s just amatter of if the opportunity is there and where is our health and our depthand all that.”

After three years as a club sport and in its second season as a varsity sport, Landon’s Water Polo team took first place in Division B at the 2011 Eastern Interscholastic Water Polo Championship. The tournament, now in its 27th year, took place in Newark, N.J. on Nov. 5-6.
It was the first time that Landon won the division title. The deciding game was a victory over Mount Saint Joseph High School of Baltimore by a margin of 10-8. Four Landon players, Alex Garner ’12, Aidan Kelso ’13, Carter Lipnick ’12 and Brendon Walsh ’12, were among ten tournament participants recognized by the league for outstanding play. Kelso was selected tournament MVP for his contributions on defense. Other team members include John Bair ’13, Campbell Blue ’14, Conor Collins ’13, Leo Falcone ’14, John Freeman ’13, Luke Kennedy ’14, Trey Lundelius ’14 and Ed Wolins ’14.
Head Coach Walt Bartman introduced Water Polo at Landon as a club sport five years ago. Boys are now able to practice in the Dixon Pool on campus, thanks to supporters who helped to get a pool heater installed last year. Bartman said, “Our first time in the tournament, we lost all three games by 20 points or so. Last year, we took third. This is our first title ever, and we are really happy
