Ownby is one of the most accomplished high school, collegiate and professional soccer players the Richmond region has ever produced.
“For me, I want to bring back an enjoyable product out there on the field. Something that matches what the fans believe in, what I believe in, what ownership believes in and the way I played the game. That’s the way I want to lead this group.”

That infrastructure of support helped senior wing Tyrell Ward find his basketball family with the black and gold after a year away from the court 📰👇🏻
“Kids who come from unfortunate situations, cards aren’t dealt the way they might have wanted them and they feel like the world is against them, try to keep hope and latch onto the people that are around you," Ward said.
"Stay around good people. That would be my message for people going through similar situations like me.”
