The third week of Northern Virginia high school football did not disappoint. Several of the usual suspect teams bumped their records to 3-0, while two others (Mt. Vernon and Stafford) are pleasant surprises with their undefeated marks. Two teams, Robinson and Annandale, eclipsed the 100-point barrier in their game, while North Stafford’s Devyn Ford scored six touchdowns to account for 36 of his Wolverine team’s 48 points.
Lake Braddock finds itself in a less than auspicious position, with Coach Mike Dougherty’s team falling to 0-3 after a grating 33-point loss to Stone Bridge. Fairfax, winless last year, beat Lee by 23, while Potomac Falls finally got into the win column, beating Riverside 40-21. St. John Paul the Great, 1-9 last season, earned a big 28-26 win over the Potomac School. Finally, J.E.B. Stuart showed moxie, scoring 57 points in its win over Park View, a strong effort from Coach Clarence Martin’s bunch.
Finally, the Colonial Forge squad will surely enjoy its four-hour ride back from Chesapeake after stomping the Grassfield Grizzlies 42-0 in Friday night action.
Madison 38, West Potomac 16
The Warhawks raised their mark to 3-0 as back Casey Koshuta enjoyed a career-best day for Madison, rushing for 176 yards and two touchdowns.
Koshuta, who usually splits carries with Brandon Walker, took on the lion’s share of the ground game on Friday, carrying the ball 37 times, as Madison scratched to a 10-8 halftime lead before busting the game wide open with 21 unanswered third-quarter points.
Koshuta also threw a 16-yard touchdown pass to John Finney; however, the passing game was conservative, with only nine attempts, and five completions for 60 yards. John Cothran did throw a second touchdown, a 10-yarder to Thomas MacColl.
Centreville 31, South County 27
Bassie Kanu rushed for 150 yards and three touchdowns as the Wildcats opened up a 17-7 lead early in the second half, but survived the ferocity of the Stallion offense to edge South County.
Kanu’s 24-yard touchdown served as the game’s first score, while his 44-yarder sealed the game for Centreville, as South County had cut the lead to 24-21. The Stallions, who are known for their aerial attack threw for no touchdowns on Friday, yet quarterback Michael Tull and star receiver Dillon Spalding each ran for two scores to account for the Stallions’ points.
Jordan Wright added 117 rushing yards on eight carries, including a 77-yard touchdown early in the second half to spark Centreville (2-1), who avenged a 28-21 loss to John Champe last week.
Colonial Forge 42, Grassfield 0
The Eagles wasted no time establishing their presence with 21 points in the first and second quarters, as their 42-0 halftime margin led to a running clock and scoreless second half.
Ethan Garwood was almost perfect, completing nine of 10 passes for 211 yards, including touchdowns to D.J. Dennis and Josh Sarratt, whose 64-yarder opened the scoring for the Eagles. Sarratt also returned a punt 42 yards for a touchdown.
In their three wins, Colonial Forge has outscored its opponents 131-3.
Mount Vernon 34, Falls Church 16 – The Majors improved to 3-0 behind the star power of Darrien Newton, who snared three receiving touchdowns as part of a 10-reception, 257-yard evening.
The Jaguars had closed the lead to 24-16 before Newton put the game away with his 73-yard scoring pass. Tim Heltzel threw two of the touchdowns to Newton, while Kofi Kwarteng added the third, tossing a scoring lob to Newton after receiving a “skip pass” from Heltzel.
Patrick Dunn added two field goals for the Majors, who will take on Washington-Lee next week in their effort to reach 4-0.
Hylton 41, Osbourn 0 – Penn State commit Ricky Slade scored on a 95-yard touchdown run and finished with 153 rushing yards as the Bulldogs pitched a shutout win over Osbourn.
Slade also caught a 31-yard touchdown pass from Keyshawn Copeland, who finished with 261 yards and a pair of passing scores for Hylton (2-0).
Flint Hill 35, Paul VI 13 – Jordan Houston ran for 145 yards and three touchdowns as the Huskies won their opener in Fairfax. Miles Thompson completed five of eight passes for 85 yards, as Flint Hill gained 317 yards and 17 first downs.
Yorktown 44, Wakefield 7 – The Patriots earned the 22nd straight win over cross-town rival Wakefield, opening up a 34 -7 halftime lead and coasting to victory. Tanner Wall caught a pair of touchdowns, and ran for 88 yards as Yorktown raised its record to 2-0.
Rodney Lee (171) and Kesean Deshazer (117) combined for 288 rushing yards for the Warriors, who evened their season record at 1-1. Lee has 364 rushing yards in two games.
North Stafford 48, Potomac 12 – Devyn Ford rambled for six touchdowns and 227 yards as the Wolverines made easy work of the Panthers.
Stafford 17, Courtland 7 – The Indians are 3-0 for the first time since 1981 after Friday’s 17-7 win over Courtland.
In spite of eight fumbles, Coach Mo Hampton’s team was able to hold its composure for the victory. Jalen Smith threw for a touchdown, as part of his 9 of 20, 169-yard evening, and also ran for another. Justin Toler caught Smith’s 34-yard TD for Stafford’s first touchdown, which came after a scoreless first half. Landon Woodson added two catches for 49 yards., while Jayvawn Cordell-Ford bulled into the end zone on a 1-yard run for the Indians’ last score.
