Football: South Lakes, Herndon Battle in Baron Cameron Bowl Friday
Seahawks earned 2012 victory in annual neighborhood rivalry.
Herndon and South Lakes High Schools meet Friday in the "Baron Cameron Bowl" - the annual interconference battle for neighborhood bragging rights.
The schools play in different conferences (South Lakes, former Liberty now VHSL Conference 6; Herndon, former Concorde, now Conference 5), but many of the players grew up playing youth sports together, and, of course, a good portion of Herndon High students live in Reston.
Kickoff is 7:30 p.m. at South Lakes.
