Dominion (2-3) opens its third season of AA Dulles District play tomorrow against Loudoun County (2-3) still seeking its first district win in school history.

In the first two games, Dominion senior RB Tony Armenteros totaled just 36 yards on five carries. Since the change, Armenteros has rushed for a combined 395 yards and seven touchdowns.
