1990
Dec. 8: Gar-Field becomes the county's first state champion in football after winning the Group AAA Division 6 title with a 13-12 victory over Hampton. The victory caps a stunning turnaround for a team that went 2-8 the year before. The Indians finish 12-2 under second-year head coach Chuck White, a Woodbridge High School graduate. Senior running back LaTroy Askew is Gar-Field's go-to player, rushing for 1,286 yards and scoring 24 total touchdowns.
1998
Dec. 5: Hylton wins the first of its two straight Group AAA Division 6 state titles with a 21-13 victory over Varina to finish 14-0. The Bulldogs break a 7-7 tie after D.J Walton rushes for two scores in the final six minutes. The victory gives head coach Bill Brown his first state championship in his fourth state-title game appearance.
1999
Dec. 4: Hylton beats Varina again to claim the Division 6 state title with a 28-27 win. The Bulldogs (14-0) rally from a 27-7 halftime deficit. Quarterback Kenny Irby connects with Ahmad Brooks on a 30-yard touchdown pass in the third quarter for the eventual game-winning points. Irby finishes the game with one rushing touchdown and two passing touchdowns. Hylton finishes the season ranked No. 13 nationally by USA Today.
2000
Nov. 3: Potomac snaps host Hylton's 39-game winning streak with a 29-19 win. At least 10,000 people attend the game that feature two teams with unbeaten records and rank among the top six in the state (Hylton No. 1, Potomac No. 6). Coming in, Hylton holds an 11-1 record over the Panthers. Had Hylton won, it would have tied the VHSL record for most consecutive victories.
2002
Dec. 14: Under first-year head coach Lou Sorrentino, Hylton (13-1) wins its third state title with a 6-0 win over Oakton. Defensively, Jono Petrovitch has a team-high 10 tackles, while Endor Cooper adds nine tackles. Jeff Overton scores the game's lone touchdown off a 5-yard run in the third quarter.
2004
Dec. 11: Manassas Park wins the Group A Division 2 state title with a 20-13 win over Powell Valley. Senior quarterback Zach Terrell totals 394 yards of offense and accounts for two touchdowns as the Cougars finish 14-0.
2005
Nov. 26: Hylton High School wins its Northwest Region-record eighth straight title with a 35-27 win over visiting Osbourn.
2006
Dec. 9: Osbourn wins the Group AAA Division 6 state title with a 42-20 win over Chantilly. Senior quarterback Brandon Hogan generates 391 total yards and has a hand in all six touchdowns as the Eagles finish 14-0 to claim the school's only state title since joining Group AAA in 1996.
2010
Dec. 11: Battlefield wins the Group AAA Division 6 state title with a 26-7 win over previously undefeated Hermitage to finish 13-2. It is the school's first state title in any sport since opening in 2004. Bobo Beathard totals 106 all-purpose yards, while the defense totals nine sacks.
2013
Under third-year head coach David Coccoli, Forest Park posts its first winning record and earns its first postseason berth in school history. Forest Park, which opened in 2000, finishes 9-4 and reaches the third round of the 6A South playoffs.
Freedom, which opened in 2004, also reaches the postseason for the first time in school history.
2014
Aug. 28: Forest Park quarterback Nathan Perrin throws for a county-record 408 yards in the Bruins 55-49 overtime loss to Patriot.
Aug. 29: Brentsville ends county's longest losing streak at 39 games with a 12-7 win over host Manassas Park. Coming into the season, the Tigers' losing streak is tied for seventh all-time in state history.

Re: Two Most Memorable Moments in PWC Football - Gar-Field's wins over DeMatha

Hylton beating #4 Gar-field (Wash Post poll) 16-8 should have been on this list too (1992 I believe).

Westfield at Hylton in the state semi-finals in 2003 should be on this list too. That was one of the best games I have ever seen in person.

I agree with the Gar-field games mentioned, DC schools would make the trip to PWC for a long time in the 90's.
