“I’ve always wanted to be a varsity coach, but I also wanted to find the right school with the right administration,” said Spencer, who helped pitch Madison to a Liberty District tournament title as a senior. “And everything worked out for me at Centreville.”
Spencer replaces Jonathan Frohm, who resigned after the season. Centreville finished 10-10 and lost in the first round of the Concorde District tournament. Centreville activities director Jimmy Sanabria is on vacation and unavailable to comment.

Locals struggle in Iowa
Three Washington area teams failed to advance out of pool play this past weekend at the U.S. Youth Soccer Association national championships in Des Moines, Iowa.
In three games each at James W. Cownie Soccer Park, two boys teams from the Bethesda Soccer Club, the U-14 Roadrunners and U-17 United, failed to post a win. In its third trip to the nationals, the Chantilly Inter Milan girls went 1-2 in U-19 competition.
Two-time national runner up Chantilly won its opening game, 1-0, over the Dallas Sting as Jessica Deegan scored the lone goal. But Chantilly’s hopes were extinguished with losses to Eclipse Select (Ill.), 2-1, and Colorado Rush, 3-0.
