Salem, Blacksburg, Glass, and GW. All top 4 seeds avoided upsets. Blacksburg and Salem certainly owned the night both putting up astronomical numbers while doing so. EC Glass and GW both had very impressive wins. Just when it was believed that Glass was “imploding” and wearing down, the Hilltoppers really contained a really good (understatement) RB in LJ Bashsm all night and scored a lot on a very stingy Byrd defense. My Danville boys did a wonderful job in containing a heck of a RB too. Frank Ross had a couple of very good runs but GW LB Curtis Waller was on him like glue all night. Score would have been closer if Amherst had not dropped 2 wide open passes but the GW Defense played lights out and the offense led by Los Poole had another impeccable performance.
