On August 10, 2025, NOVA Rugby proved that the only thing scarier than facing the Chicago Lions is being down 14 points at halftime… and still somehow thinking, “Yeah, we’ve got this.” And they did. With three tries in the second half, NOVA flipped a 0–14 hole into a 15–14 victory, leaving Chicago looking like they’d just been tackled by a freight train disguised as a rugby club. Somewhere in the chaos, fans in the stands aged approximately 20 years.

We recently discovered our child endured years of sexual and physical assault at the hands of another minor, a "best friend"—a parent's worst nightmare. We immediately contacted the Fairfax City police, and both my husband and I, along with our child, spoke with detectives, including a forensic detective. We were assured a juvenile petition would be filed and the perpetrator would face appropriate consequences. To our utter disgust, the detective later informed us that despite believing our child, there wasn't enough evidence to pursue a petition, simply stating, "it was so sad." We learned the detective had only spoken with the accused child's mother and brother, both of whom lied. Although the detective saw our video evidence that proved their lies, this was enough for our child's case to be completely dismissed. Our child was interrogated by a forensic interviewer for an hour, yet the accused was never even required to leave his home.
