Dalton 20 yard TD pass to Adams. 7-0 Dinwiddie.

It was Matt Abramson to Jon Malatesta for all four touchdowns as the Generals are on the cusp of their first unbeaten regular season since 1956. Langley had cut a 21-0 deficit to 21-14 before W-L put it away with a fourth quarter score. All three W-L touchdown drives in the first half had a short field after thanks to some Langley miscues and W-L recovering one of their own kickoffs, and then a roughing the punter penalty kept their game-sealing drive alive.

Skyline jumped out to an early 20-0 lead and never looked back as the Hawks downed Brentsville District High School by a final of 37-22.

Zayden Burks, who finished with 202 yards rushing on the game, did all the heavy lifting on the first drive, with 73 yards on 4 carries before quarterback Nathan Ballard connected with Isiah Maxwell for a 12 yard touchdown pass. The conversion pass failed, and the Hawks led 6-0.

Brentsville moved the ball well on the ensuing possession, but their 11 play drive ended with a Burks interception in the end zone.

Skyline scored quickly on the next series, with Ballard hitting Marques Lockhart on a short pass that turned into a 72 yard touchdown, to give the Hawks a 13-0 lead with 1:43 left in the first quarter.

The Hawks got another turnover on the Tigers' next possession as Freshman Brady Lupton recovered a fumble to set Skyline up at their own 43. Ballard took one play to hit Maxwell in stride on a 57 yard touchdown bomb. The third touchdown in three passing attempts for Ballard put the Hawks up 20-0.

Brentsville had another interception on their next possession, as Lane Kenney came up with the pick in the red zone. Despite the many interceptions, Brentsville's quarterback was actually quite effective when not under pressure. But he was under pressure a lot.

Brentsville's defense stepped up on the Hawk's next possession and forced a punt. A comedy of errors on the long snap to the punter resulted in a Brentsville recovery on the Skyline 1. Sawyer Beckman ran it in from there to get the Tigers on the scoreboard with 3:25 left in the 2nd quarter, trailing 20-6.

Skyline was able to tack on 3 points on a Tristan Walker 26 yard field goal in the closing seconds of the half. That score was set up by a 38 yard completion to Lockhart, who finished with 110 yards receiving and a touchdown.

The start of the 2nd half was the Cole Britton show. The senior, who missed the first half of the season recovering from a collarbone injury, came up with an interception on the first play of the 2nd half. Then he finished off the Hawks drive with a 17 yard reception from Ballard. Ballard had 4 touchdown passes on the night.

Brentsville cut into the lead on their next possession as Sam Richards threw a 5 yard touchdown to Wyatt Vonderhaar to cut the lead to 30-14.

But Burks and DayShawn Haley were able to move the ball on the ground on the Hawks' next possession, with Burks running it in from 4 yards out, putting Skyline up 37-14 with 4:01 left in the third quarter.

Burks then came up with another interception on the next Hawks possession, but Skyline was beset by penalties on their next drive and had to punt. The Tigers started in Skyline territory, and Beckman ran it in from 7 yards out to cut the lead to 37-22.

Skyline was driving on their next series with Burks picked up 33 yards on four straight carries. But then Ballard made his only mistake of the game, when a Tiger made an acrobatic interception in the end zone while lying on his back.

No more points were scored in the game, but the Hawks did come up with two more interceptions. One by Maxwell and one by Britton again. Skyline ended the game taking two knees after making it to the Brentsville 4 yard line.

The Hawks improve to 6-3 and will probably host a first round playoff game regardless of the outcome of their game next week against Warren County.(unless Brentsville pulls off a major upset of Kettle Run)

Offense is very very good. Can run and throw. Good amount of playmakers.
Defense huge question mark. C burg was able to move the ball on the ground at times.
Salem also huge threat to run back kickoff or punt.

On one of the warmest nights we have ever seen for Senior Night, the Big Red warmed up on the field in a hurry and ran away from the Little Giants tonight by a 62-17 final count. It really wasn't even that close as the Gladiators led 55-3 at one point and again at 62-9.

Although 10 seniors were saluted prior to the game, ironically only one of them had the "game of a lifetime" final home appearance that players dream of. That was Brady Boehm, who scored three times, two of them in spectacular fashion, and also had an interception on defense. Zac Brooks, the Gladiators' senior kicker, had a 5 for 6 night on PATs but other than those two, most of the scoring came from underclassmen.

Boehm got the party started with a 77 yard touchdown reception from his classmate Levi Dunlap, who of course is worthy of special mention also. In fact, after about 8-10 years, Gladiator fans won't know how to react next year when there is someone other than a Dunlap behind center, as Levi followed in the footsteps of older brothers Elijah and Bennett at the quarterback position.

That 77 yard strike came on the Big Red's second play from scrimmage and Boehm was so open that he had to wait on the ball and then had clear sailing to the end zone. There was even a second receiver in the area who could have been another option.

After that explosive TD, it was all about the Gladiator ground game as they rolled to a 41-0 lead before Waynesboro could dent the scoreboard. Junior running back Jonathan Talbott returned to action from an injury and looked to be in fine form as he scored twice in the first half. Sophomore Jackson Fitzgerald added a TD and (I just remembered) Dunlap scored in the first quarter on one of his patented QB sneaks. Boehm's second TD also came in the second quarter.

Waynesboro kicked a field goal just before halftime just to get on the board as the teams went to the locker room with the scoreboard reading 41-3. Boehm then opened the scoring in the second half with a brilliant broken-field 61-yard run in which he faked out the same defender about three times on his way to the end zone.

Junior Preston McCauley scored the final two Gladiator TDs on an impressive pair of runs, and next year's likely place-kicker, Bryan Lopez-Rojas, kicked the final three PATs as he and Brooks went a combined 8 for 9 in that department.

Other big plays on the evening came from Skyler Shiflett, who dashed down the far sideline for about 60 yards and also picked off a deflected pass, one of three Gladiator interceptions on the night; back-up quarterback Kendall Edwards, who turned a routine sneak into a 50 yard gallop; and junior Chris Dotson, who hauled in Dunlap's second-longest pass of the night on a 30 yard sideline route and was also a major force on defense as he has been all year.

Waynesboro meanwhile kept fighting to the end, as evidenced by their two second-half touchdowns. Their junior quarterback Haden Morris, has an impressive arm and probably completed a dozen or more passes tonight, but the Giants had trouble with penalties, turnovers, and clock management. Most folks in the area are predicting that the Giants are headed in the right direction and could be more competitive as early as next season.

As mentioned the Gladiators did get Talbott back tonight but it was also circulating around the crowd that Brody Phillips, a three-sport athlete who was the Big Red's punter, among other duties, is most likely lost for the entire year and will have to wait for his senior season to make his mark in those three sports. All told the Big Red still has four or five guys walking the sidelines but unable to play.

Last but not least, the big announcement came out today about Central Woodstock having its wins re-instated. That of course is amazing news for them but it also will help Riverheads in terms of playoff seeding, since the Gladiators knocked them off in the season-opener. So you can bet that numbers are being crunched all around the state tonight to sort all of that out.

So congrats to the Big Red who now get the week off before those playoffs begin on the 15th.

Final 😳

I know this is a 3A game but wow. Just wow. What an upset by the Vikings. I know Northside has been improving but I did not see them beating Lord Botetourt. Especially not shutting them out. I’m sure this secures the Vikings a playoff spot. Good season going on for the Vikings in North Roanoke. Taking down their old quarterback from last year who is now at LB

Bruton ran the opening kickoff back, but it was all Poquoson after that
