The Washington Sun announced a partnership with FOX 5 DC and several regional news partners to roll out All‑DMV, a collaborative effort aimed at expanding high‑school sports coverage throughout the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area.
Starting this season, All‑DMV will focus on three of the most popular high‑school sports – football, soccer and volleyball – in the District of Columbia and the surrounding counties of Montgomery, Prince George’s, Arlington and Fairfax. Each week the project will highlight a Player of the Week selected from five standout athletes, and will feature in‑depth stories on teams, coaches and emerging trends in youth athletics.
Local leadership drives the initiative
Michael Errigo, deputy editor of local news and sports at The Washington Sun, will serve as the editorial lead for All‑DMV. Errigo brings extensive experience, having previously overseen high‑school sports coverage at The Washington Post and produced the paper’s long‑standing All‑Met selections. Joining him is Noah Ferguson, another veteran of the Post’s sports desk, who will head the reporting team.
Player of the Week selections will be determined through a combination of polling local coaches, gathering community feedback and Ferguson’s own observations on the field. At the end of each season, All‑DMV will host a celebration honoring the weekly winners and their contributions to their schools and neighborhoods.
Filling a gap left by the Post
The collaboration comes in response to the Washington Post’s decision earlier this year to discontinue its high‑school sports coverage, leaving a void for families, coaches and fans who rely on local reporting to follow their young athletes. By uniting the resources of The Washington Sun, FOX 5 DC, FOX LOCAL and other participating outlets, All‑DMV aims to restore that vital community service.
Stories will be published on the Washington Sun’s website and distributed through FOX 5 DC’s broadcast channels, as well as the FOX LOCAL digital platform. Readers can also subscribe to the Washington Sun’s local newsletter to receive weekly updates on All‑DMV coverage.
Why this matters for families and faith‑based communities
High‑school sports play a central role in many families’ lives, offering opportunities for teamwork, discipline and community pride. By providing consistent, high‑quality coverage, All‑DMV supports parents who want to stay informed about their children’s activities and encourages local churches and faith‑based groups to celebrate the achievements of young athletes.
In a region where traditional family values and community involvement remain strong, the initiative reflects a commitment to preserving those bonds through shared sporting experiences.
Looking ahead
All‑DMV plans to expand its coverage in future seasons, potentially adding additional sports such as basketball and track & field, and exploring partnerships with more local media outlets. For now, the focus remains on delivering reliable, timely reporting that highlights the talent and dedication of high‑school athletes across the DMV.
Community members interested in contributing feedback or suggesting athletes for future features are encouraged to contact the Washington Sun’s sports desk.
