have fielded 2 teams with winning records (2003 and 2004 6-4
records) and have sent several players to Division I and II
colleges. Losing seasons in 2002 and 2005 led to the dismissal of

Rivalries
Broad Run's primary rival school
is
Stone Bridge High School, located about two miles away. The
rivalry between Broad Run and Stone Bridge has been intense in
recent years, with large attendance at many of the football, soccer,
and softball games between the two schools. However, Stone Bridge
moved to the
AAA Liberty District in 2005 which drew the football rivalry to
a halt, but both schools still play each other in nearly every other
sport.
Broad Run still enjoys rivalries
with
Park View High School in softball,
Loudoun County High School in girls' basketball and girls'
soccer, and
Potomac Falls High School in boys' soccer. The rivalry with Park
View in particular has intensified since Stone Bridge's district
change, as the two schools were once heated rival schools. Patton
