Coach Charlie Pierce's Falcons are coming off of their second consecutive

playoff appearance and have performed very well in just two complete seasons of

Dulles District play since the school's opening. Fullback Billy McDonald

is expected to be the leader for Briar Woods, and he is a hard-nosed, powerful

back that can get tough yards. The offensive backfield also returns quarterback

Austin Fratalli and that experience will be counted on to keep the

Falcons in contention in the Dulles.

On defense, coach Pierce tells VirginiaPreps.com that he believes a number of

underclassmen are going to step in and contribute. Junior Victor Rizzardi

is one to watch in the secondary and the overall team speed should be a positive

factor for Briar Woods.

The biggest questions in Brambleton are on the defensive side of the ball, where

the team lost eight starters from last season's team that allowed under 14

points per game in the regular season. None of the starting linebackers return,

though coach Pierce expects Fratalli and fellow senior Tavis Henry to

fill a couple of those spots. On the other side of the ball, the offensive line

could be a concern, with seniors Omar Omokhodion and David Woodall

counted on to provide leadership for an otherwise young group.
