Victories for Wakefield, St. James, LCDS -- and Foxcroft's Think Pink benefit
The Cherry Blossom Breast Cancer Foundation was the big winner Saturday (Jan.11) when Foxcroft School held its Fifth Annual Think Pink Basketball Tournament, raising $5,300 for the local foundation.
Wakefield School, St. James School, and Loudoun Country Day claimed titles in the varsity, JV and middle school divisions as the day of bouncing balls and spirited crowd included 14 teams, 20 games, and hundreds of enthusiastic spectators. Organized by Foxcroft's all-student Athletic Association and Athletic Director Michelle Woodruff, the tournament is a cornerstone of the School's annual fund-raising efforts for the CBBCF, with which Foxcroft has a special relationship. Foxcroft students have raised nearly $50,000 for the CBBCF in the past seven years and the student body honored as one of the first "Cherry Blossom Champions" in 2012. Recently senior Maddy T. and junior Lilly P. were named to the CBBCF Board -- its first student members.

Playing in the spacious, three-court Athletic/Student Center, Wakefield went 3-0 in a modified round-robin of five teams, to claim its fourth Think Pink Varsity Championship. Wakefield defeated Foxcroft 19-10 in the tournament opener, demonstrating that the loss of Delaney Athletic Conference Player of the Year Emily G. to graduation (Niagara University) hadn't debilitated the team that reached the state finals last year. Led by guard Airielle J., Wakefield also beat St. James School, by a score of 24-16, and Randolph-Macon Academy, 22-9.
St. James's Junior Varsity team blew by Wakefield and Foxcroft to claim the JV crown, and LCDS won the six-team middle school class with victories over Wakefield, Fredericksburg Academy, and Quantico. Foxcroft's Varsity, taking advantage of the opportunity to give all 14 of its players a lot of court time, went 1-3, defeating Randolph-Macon and falling to St James and Fredericsburg. Meanwhile, the Foxcroft JV, an enthusiastic but largely inexperienced crew, lost twice, to Wakefield and St. James.
