Class of ’09: State Champion Stone Bridge

The Stone Bridge (Ashburn, VA) varsity football squad captured the Group AAA, Division 5 state championship this season, defeating Potomac 38-0 in the championship game. Head coach Mickey Thompson certainly has his program on the right track and, with a good group of juniors returning to lead the way, the team should be strong once again next season.

Coach Thompson believes he could have up to six college prospects on his roster. Leading the way are three linemen – Brian Slay , Zach Thompson and David Wang . Wang, a 6-2, 290-pound OL/DT, has already committed to Virginia Tech, while Thompson, a DL/TE, recently picked up an offer from the University of Virginia.

“Coach Groh came to one of our practices and of course he was at our championship game for a little bit (the state title game was played at Scott Stadium in Charlottesville),” Thompson said. “Seeing Zach in person twice I think solidified him.”

Zach Thompson , Mickey’s son, is a 6-5, 240-pound defensive lineman. Besides the obvious interest from UVa, he has also drawn early interest from Boston College, Colorado, Maryland and Virginia Tech. Coach Thompson believes the interest will get stronger as more junior film is sent out.
