Gainesville 41 - Robinson 13

Gainesville used a 20 point second quarter to gain control of the game and cruised to a 41-13 win against Robinson. GV dominated on both sides of the ball and, other than two long scoring plays for ROB, greatly imited the ROB offense.

ROB's first possession was a three and out. GV's first drive reached the ROB 11 yard line but their 4th and three play resulted in a sack and GV turned the ball back over to ROB on the ROB 18 yard line. ROB again went three and out. GV then put together a 65 yard drive capped by Smith 65 yard run to open the scoring at the 1:32 mark of the first quarter, 7-0 GV (Byrd XP). The GV KO then pinned ROB deep at their own nine yard line. After a ROB first down, GV's Shiff sacked ROB's J. Scaperotto for a loss of 18 yards and made ROB punt from their own one yard line to give GV great field position at the ROB 32 yard line. On the second play of this drive GV's Kilmer found Eisenhower in a seam in the middle of the field for a 22 yard TD pass and GV went out in front 13-0 (Byrd XP missed) with 10:36 remaining in the half. ROB started their next possession on their own 21 yard line and moved to their 43 yard line where they had a 4th and one but ROB elected to punt. GV then put together a 69 yard scoring drive and extended the lead to 20-0 (Byrd XP) on a Smith 10 yard run up the middle at the 5:08 mark of the second quarter. The GV KO again pinned ROB deep at their own 8 yard line but on this series J. Scaperotto dropped back to pass and was hit. The ball bounced forward to the ROB 8 yard line where GV's Hyde scooped it up and easily scored. After the Byrd XP it was now 27-0 GV with 4:11 remaining in the half. After another ROB punt and a short GV drive that ran out the clock the half ended.

GV received the ball to start the second half and punted after just one first down to give ROB the ball on their own 23 yard line. On this ROB possession J. Scaperotto found his brother D. Scaperotto behind the defense and they hooked up for a 60 yard TD pass to cut the lead to 27-6 (Jacobs XP) with 7:12 to play in the third quarter. GV's next drive answered immediately when Kilmer found Hill coming across the middle towards the visitor's sideline. Hill broke a tackle near midfield and went 58 yards down the sideline to make the score 34-6 GV (Byrd XP) with 4:12 remaining in the third quarter. ROB started their next possession on their own 22 yard line and after two GV sacks for a total loss of 17 yards ROB ended up punting from their own 17 yard line. The short kick gave GV another short field at the GV 48 yard line, but after losing yardage GV punted. ROB then went three and out, followed by another GV score when Kilmer hit Eisenhower with a 29 yard TD pass to extend the lead to 41-6 (Byrd XP) with 8:05 remaining in the game. The GV KO left ROB to start their next possession on their own 17 yard line but on this drive the Scaperott brothers connected again for a 79 yard TD pass and the lead was now 41-13 (Jacobs XP) with 5:51 remaining in the game. GV then ran out the clock to secure the win.

75 boyz are back

I talk a lot of cash about the 804 but the 757 may just be the king of high school football again. Respect to our neighbors down 64 East. Looking forward to some great matchups come playoff time. The 804 will be ready 😈

EV v Brooke Point

Big win for EV tonight and a solid bounce back from a VERY disappointing outing at Huguenot. They still have a long way to go, but we finally saw some solid EV football. EV played without Will Butler tonight (injury). @ a very improved Caroline next week then @ N.Stafford the following. Schedule has EV getting tested early and often this year. I wouldn't call EV back just yet, but a solid dub against a quality team.

Gladiators Rock Raptors 48-6

Riverheads got back on the winning track tonight with a road win over the first-year Rocktown Raptors up in Harrisonburg. An impressive Big Red crowd followed the team, as we knew they would, and enjoyed a successful visit to the Raptors' very nice field.

Although the Big Red treated its fans to the first running-clock win of the season, in all honesty this was not an especially smooth performance and the Gladiators will have to cut down on some of the mistake they made tonight if they hope to beat either or both of their next two opponents......Wilson and Christiansburg.

Yes they tallied seven touchdowns from five different players.....yes they scored in every quarter......but the Gladiators also left two fumbles laying on the turf for Rocktown to pick up.......they did not defend the pass at all well when Rocktown scored its only TD...and they simply could not get their own passing game going the few times they tried. Those same mistakes will be fatal against better teams if they continue.

Fullback Carson Brooks got the party started with a 48 yard burst up the middle on the Big Red's first possession. He then proceeded to play lights out defense for the rest of the period, as he recorded some solo tackles and pounced on the first Raptor fumble of the night. Jonathan Talbott and Jackson Fitzgerald each scored in the rather long first quarter as the Gladiators took a 20-0 lead.

Quarterback Levi Dunlap sneaked one in from four yards out in the second quarter for Riverheads' only score. They had another deep possession but coughed it up on a fumble inside the 10 as the teams went to the locker room with a 27-0 score on the board.

Rocktown took the opening kickoff in the third quarter and opened up their playbook for a halfback option pass. The pass itself was awful and the receiver had time to check his e-mail before it finally came down, but that was because Riverheads did not have a defender within 20 yards of him. He hauled in the wounded duck in Gladiator territory and the same receiver caught a much nicer pass down around the 1 moments later, before they sneaked it across for their only score of the game.

Following that hometown TD, the Gladiators responded with three of their most explosive plays of the game. First Talbott took the R-town kickoff and darted up the far sideline all the way down to the 25. That led to Big Play number two.......Dunlap's second QB sneak of the game.

Now what was so "explosive" about a QB keeper you might ask? Well that play is designed to only get you a couple or three yards and potentially a first down, but when you keep digging and your line keeps pushing, and you can take that "sneak" play for 14 yards and a touchdown, why not do it? I believe the big boys call it a "tush push."

Whatever name you put on it, that score put the visitors ahead 34-6 but the best was yet to come. On Rocktown's next possession, they went to the air, but Fitzgerald was Jackson-on-the-Spot as he stepped in front of it, cut to his right, and then sidestepped the only guy who had a chance to get him as he returned the ball for a 60 yard pick six. That TD and Zac Brooks' fifth PAT of the night made it 41-6 and set the running clock in motion.

With subs finishing out the action, Copper Arehart (whom I have to admit I had never even heard of before tonight) swept left end from about 8 yards out for the final Big Red TD. The second-string kicker (name escapes me and I don't have a roster to refer to) converted the PAT for the final point of the night. He is now 2-2 on the season and his soccer style delivery will no doubt carry the Big Red next year when Brooks graduates.

With the win, the Gladiators are now 3-1 on the season, but district play resumes next week and a much-improved Wilson team will visit RHS for Homecoming, followed by a road trip to Christiansburg. From everything I have heard, the other games tonight went as expected, with Gap, Fort, Staunton, Wilson, and Draft all winning, with only Waynesboro falling tonight. Therefore the district race has the potential to be a five or even six-team competition, but something tells me the teams will start to separate themselves in the next week or two.

4A Caroline 26 King William 21

KW may start 0 and 6, but will still be in the region title game against Poquoson. When all is said and done, I still think the only team that has a chance yo beat Poquoson in Region A is King William
It will all depend on seeding. Last year they ended up playing in the regional semifinals and it was a 14-6 game, then of course Poquoson won big in the regional championship. Although Bruton seems to have a solid squad this year and could be in the mix too.

Rappahannock 36 Nelson Co 20 Final

Essex beat Franklin 58-0 or 64-0. Seeing 2 different score on different sites. With Essex having K&Q next and Charles City the week after for homecoming…Rappahannock having Middlesex and a bye, that Oct. 11 Rapp@Essex game going to be big with most likely both teams being undefeated, 9 miles apart and rivals.
Middlesex with a big win over Lancaster tonight. Rapp can't afford to overlook them.
