Our Town

Mark Your Calendar The Crozet Spring Fling will be held April 20th. Shop local businesses and collect stickers in an event “passport” to win cool raffle prizes. Grab coffee, buy flowers, shop for adorable toys and gifts, stock up on art supplies, eat lunch, enjoy a sweet treat, support local artists, make a craft, and have a beer before the day is through.

Personal Property Tax Albemarle Supervisors are poised to raise personal property taxes by nearly 15% to $3.96 per $100 of assessed value. In other words, the local tax bill on a $20,000 vehicle would grow by $100 for 2024.

Growing Pains County officials will meet April 1st to discuss a proposal to install an E-Z Pass system at the intersection of Rt 240/250 in Crozet. "Rockfish Gap was historically a toll road, that's why it’s called a turnpike. To build the infrastructure Crozet needs, the people that use it the most need to pay their fair share," said an official who asked to remain anonymous.

The proposed E-Z Pass system will cost commuters $2.50 per trip. (Artist’s rendering)

WAHS News and Notes

Baseball

Varsity (2-1) shut out previously unbeaten Spotswood 10-0, thanks to Daniel Jones's bat (3 for 3 with 2 RBI) and Josh Lively's pitching arm.

Softball

Ava Hardy’s perfect batting night (3 for 3 with 3 RBI) paced the Lady Warriors past Spotswood 4-3.

Lacrosse

The varsity boys handled Rockbridge 17-3. Quinn Reilly’s 8-goal output was outrageous.
The varsity girls also dominated Rockbridge, 15-7, then followed up that impressive performance with a statement game against Division 6 northern Virginia power James Madison, taking down the Warhawks 13-9.

Soccer

The varsity girls (3-0) notched an impressive win over Collegiate, 3-2. Reese Mattern dominated on offense, scoring all three Warrior goals.
The boys squeaked by EC Glass 2-1 to also remain undefeated.

Track & Field

As if two indoor State Championships weren’t enough, several Warrior standouts qualified for Adidas Nationals.
- Sophomore sensation Carter Torrence topped her own school record in the 400 meter, placing 4th among a field of fellow top runners from across the country.
- The girls’ 4X800 relay team, who won the state championship, nearly broke the school record with a 2nd-place finish.
- For the first time, Western fielded a mixed boys/girls 4X400 team to compete at Nationals. They placed 2nd, with impressive performances by Bridger Clark, Connor Rittenhouse, and sisters AJ and Carter Torrence.
- Fitzie Partridge and Granby Parnell, the Warrior javelin-catching duo, were disqualified from competition on April 1st due to their use of torso pillows. Parnell was quoted as saying, “Try catching just one of these javelins, much less a meet’s worth; see what you come up with.”

AJ & Carter Torrence, Bridger Clark, and Connor Rittenhouse

Crozet United’s Warrior of the Week is varsity lacrosse senior Quinn Reilly - I mean 8 goals in a single game. Come on, man!
