Varsity Basketball VISAA Tournament Results

The Boys Varsity Basketball team started off the VISAA tournament with a bang! In the quarter-final game vs. Episcopal High School, the Knights won 57-56 and advanced to the semi-finals down in Richmond over the windy weekend. After winning 82-71 over Trinity Episcopal in the semi-finals, they faced rival PVI yet again in the championship game, and unfortunately lost. But the Knights are not done yet! DJO got a bid into the prestigious Alhambra Catholic Invitational Tournament this weekend held at Frostburg State University. Good luck Knights!

The Girls Varsity Basketball team also went down to Richmond for the VISAA tournament and had an interesting weekend as they played through multiple power outages during their games! They beat Trinity Episcopal in the quarter-final 53-33, and unfortunately lost to PVI as well in the semi-finals. 

DJO Figure Skater Competes at Nationals

Congratulations to junior Nicole Berry who is a member of the DC EDGE synchronized skating club! She is a three year member of the club's Novice team, which placed 4th at the Eastern Sectional competition last month, qualifying them to compete at the U.S. National Synchronized Skating Championship in late February in Portland, Oregon. Her team finished in 10th place at the national competitions, and Nicole is already looking forward to improving on that for next year. As a dedicated figure skater, Nicole rises most mornings by 5 a.m. for individual practice, and also practices with her team two to three times a week at three different ice rinks around the beltway.
