Greetings from Salem! Defending champ Altavista will kick off against Essex at the top of the hour.
Altavista has a great turnout of fans here. Pretty good showing from Essex as well, especially considering how far they had to travel.
The Trojans are taking the field to a nice ovation.

Right on cue, here come the Colonels. Altavista will be the visitors wearing white plans, white jerseys, and black helmets, while Essex is rocking all purple on the home sideline.
Thornhill opens the play with a six-yard read option. Made a great move at the line, but Steven Payne made a heck of a tackle.
Fumble! Colonels put the ball on the turf, and Terrance Hall falls on it for the Trojans. Essex will takeover with great field position.
Touchdown Essex! Demitre Maulbeck hits Rasaun Martin on a beautiful fly-pattern on third down in the end zone.
The Trojans do all they can to avoid kicking it to Thornhill again. A nice Altavista return is negated due to a block in the back. The Colonels will start this drive at their own 14.
Thornhill is doing Thornhill things again. The UVa commit escapes pressure and hits Nate Jones for an Altavista 1st down at the 35
Thornhill beats an impressive rush from Sterling Hammond and connects on another 1st down. Great drive going on for the Colonels.
Altavista was facing a 2nd and one, but the Trojans just jumped offsides to give the Colonels their 4th first down this drive.
Thornhill fakes, looks, fakes again, looks, and gets seven yards for a 1st down. Altavista is at the nine-yardline.
Pretty impressive drive for Altavista
14 plays, 86 yards, and nearly 8 minutes off of the clock.
Well that didn't take long, the Trojans puts the ball on the turf, and Donovan Montague picks it up for Altavista. 1st down Colonels.
Um
wow. Thornhill just turned what would have been a 10-yard loss into a 22-yard pass to Demitre Maulbeck. 1st down Altavista at the 21.
Sterling Hammond drops Thornhill for a four-yard loss on 4th down. 1st down Essex at their own 16.
Essex has been coming hard on the blitz all afternoon so far, and it finally paid off that time for the Trojans.
Essex has unleashed Leo Gaskins this drive, and the senior has reeled off a couple of nice runs so far.
Essex gets called for a chop block, but the penalty is declined. The Trojans will put it away here.
Essex just punted the ball into the Altavista fan section for 0 yards. The Colonels will get the ball at the Trojan 18.
Darius Johnson just dropped Dominek Broaddus for a nine yard loss. Th Trojans will punt it from their own nine.
Thornhill can throw the ball two. The UVa commit just hit Johnson for a beautiful 24-yard touchdown through the air.
