W-L HS Centennial

10/24/24 – W-L Football Team Dinner with honored guest Buddy Barnes, W-L Class of 1957

Football team dinner with guest Buddy Barnes of the 1956 Washington-Lee HS State Championship Football Team.

11/09/24 – W-L has a perfect 10-0 regular season record with the win over Wakefield. Fittingly, 10-0 also spells out “100” for the school’s Centennial year and also the football team’s 100th year. The program began in September 1925. The last perfect season was in 1956, with that team’s victory over rival G.W. for the Olde Oaken Bucket and the state title.
