Week 7 of Northern Virginia football action was highlighted by jaw-dropping performances, including one from a Hayfield Hawk named Monty, who threw seven touchdowns and knocked Mount Vernon from the ranks of the unbeaten.
Madison and Westfield battled in the trenches, combining for only 16 points, a number that was tripled by Hylton’s Ricky Slade, who scored eight touchdowns on his own against Colgan as they ran away with a 64-35 win.
Freedom (49-13 over Forest Park) and Woodbridge (48-0 over Potomac) both won on Friday, setting up a battle of 6-0 teams next weekend at Freedom to determine the best team in Woodbridge.
All of the other undefeated teams held their status, and now Colonial Forge (7-0), Eastern View (7-0), Broad Run (6-0), Stone Bridge (6-0), George Mason (5-0) and Flint Hill (5-0) also sport unblemished records.
And the most surprising team in Northern Virginia remains the Marshall Statesman, whose record under Coach George Masten is now 5-1 after nipping Annandale 41-40. West Springfield is 5-1 a year after finishing 2-8, and they manhandled Fairfax 46-14 on Friday. Suddenly their game against South County next week could assure the Spartans of a playoff spot, and push the Stallions to the brink of extinction where playoffs are concerned.
