2 P.M. — Murphy is New Centreville Basketball Coach

This is about three weeks old, but during the summer, it's tougher to keep up with the news. Former McLean boys basketball coach Drew Murphy is the new boys basketball coach at Centreville.

Per the Fairfax Sports Report, Murphy replaces Brian Doyle, who is now an assistant principal. Murphy was the associate coach last season.

"I think he's highly qualified," Doyle said. "He relates very well to the kids. He has a passion and enthusiasm for coaching." It would be bad if he didn't.

4 P.M. — Digital Sports Football Preview (Fairfax)

DigitalSports is previewing every 30 teams in the Northern Region. That includes Concorde District punching bag Fairfax.

The bad news? Fairfax is in the Concorde, with Centreville, Oakton, Chantilly, Robinson and Westfield, the defending state champs. Ouch. So much that Fairfax is 0-18 tries since joining in 2005.

The good news? The Rebels bring back their quarterback, running back and entire offensive line and their coach, Chris Haddock. That's about it.

Telling quote? "We've won four game in the last four years. So if we could win five games this season, that would be a tremendous boost for our program." Hell coach, if you just win one in the Concorde, it would be a tremendous boost.
