We are a little over an hour away from kickoff here at Zable Stadium on the campus of William & Mary. That is the site of today's Class 4 Title bout between undefeated Cinderella Louisa and Salem, your reigning back-to-back Class 4 champion.

Salem's only two losses came to Dinwiddie by 5 and Blacksburg by 37. They have won 9 straight since dropping 2 in a span of 3 weeks.

Louisa has been on a tear this season but has won their last 3 games by 11 or fewer.

Ramsey 80 yard touchdown run! Just like that Salem is up 35-22!
