Good Afternoon Majors. We have been able to take a breath after the fast last couple weeks to the school year. It is currently the 2 week VHSL Red Period for Athletics where there can be no contact with players or coaches until July 6. Sports will then have the opportunity to practice, do green days, and workouts until July 25. At that point, the week of July 27 will be a yellow week whereas only strength and conditioning workouts can occur. The first day of fall sports will then be on August 3. All students need to make sure they have a current physical on file with our ATCs.
Speaking of ATCs, we have hired our second ATC to help out Mr Ponton. Mackenzie Tillman worked with our office last year as a floater in the county, but starting this fall she will be a full time ATC working at Mount Vernon. We are so excited to have her on board at Mount Vernon.
We have also hired 2 new head wrestling coaches. Anthony McDuffie is going to return from 2 previous stints as head wrestling coach at Mount Vernon to run it back for a third time. He has retired from teaching in Prince William County and will now be our head wrestling coach. Devin Purifoy will return to the program as well as our Head Girls Wrestling coach. He took the program on an interim basis last year and did a wonderful job. We can’t wait to see the direction our wrestling programs go this year under new leadership.
At our Spring Awards Night, we unveiled our Academic All Mount Vernon and All Mount Vernon Teams. Those teams are pictured below. Academic All Mount Vernon was based upon a scoring rubric that took into account GPA, sports played, and activities participated with points awarded for individual accolades received in sports and activities. The All Mount Vernon team was done based upon the most accomplished athletes at Mount Vernon during the school year.
If you would like to purchase pictures from the past season, the Legacy link is provided below with the number code as well.
Our platform for our athletics website has changed as well as the company that provides the information. We are working to get that information all completely updated so that it is more accessible to everyone. We will continue to work on that this summer in the activities office.
Below is our current contact information for our coaches for this season:
Below is the practice schedule for the Week of July 6 when we return from the Red Period:
