The story of Week 2 was the weather as many games, particularly in Loudoun County, were cut short or completed on Saturday, although Rock Ridge and Heritage will finish their contest on Monday morning with Heritage leading 27-7.
The strain on the players and coaches will remain to be seen next weekend. But here is an itinerary posted by Mount Vernon coach Monty Fritts who followed up a 19-hour work day on Friday with four hours of rest before returning to Langley High to finish off a 28-21 win over the Saxons.
“730-330 normal work, 330-430 pregame meal, 430-530 drive to Langley, 530-700 pregame prep, 700-900 1st 3 quarters, 900-1030, lightning delay, 1030-1130, drive to MV, 1130- 200am, do team laundry, 200-230am drive home, 630-700am drive back to MV.”
Speaking of Mount Vernon, they are off to another fast start.
Mount Vernon 28, Langley 21
Junior Fonnae Webb, a transfer from D.C.’s McKinley Tech, threw for two touchdowns and ran for another as the Majors bumped their record to 2-0 in McLean.
Kofi Kwarteng was the recipient of both touchdown passes, and Jordyn Reid, who rushed for 140 yards and caught a pair of passes for 84 more in the Majors 56-7 opener win against Edison, also ran for a score.
Lake Braddock 50, West Potomac 28
The Bruins built a 15-0 first quarter lead as Ben Dizon ran for a 43-yard TD, while Billy Edwards hit Joe Weidinger with a 32-yard scoring toss.
Edwards found Weidinger for another TD pass, this one for 56 yards, but the Wolverines drew to with two points at 22-20 as Nigel Okunubi rushed for two short touchdowns and followed with a 90-yard sprint for six points
Dizon followed with a 95-yard touchdown on the ensuing kickoff return and Edwards threw his third TD, to Quentin James, as Lake Braddock (1-1) nudged its lead to 36-21 at halftime. Early in the third quarter, lightning struck, and the game was completed on Saturday.
Westfield 24, South County 12
Westfield upped its winning streak to 26 games with a two-part victory over the Stallions.
Noah Kim, fresh off a five-touchdown performance against Lake Braddock, added three more, all to Bizzet Woodley. The first Kim-to-Woodley score, a seven-yarder gave the Bulldogs a 10-6 lead, which held until halftime and served as the score when the game was called for the evening with 6:25 left in the third quarter.
But the duo resumed business on Saturday morning, with Woodley grabbing a 12-yard score, followed by a 37-yarder off a flea flicker as Westfield pulled away in the third quarter.
Centreville 14, John Champe 0
Centreville’s Nate Goldammer picked off a John Champe pass and rambled 81 yards for the game deciding score as the Wildcats won its second game in a shutout.
Jordan Wright opened the scoring with a four-yard run in the second quarter. Wright also caught three passes for 37 yards.
Potomac Falls 34, Dominion 13
Potomac Falls became the first 5A Potomac District team to reach 2-0 as they completed their Friday night game on Saturday morning and won by three touchdowns,
The Panthers benefited from a 13-point run in the final quarter to pull away with the win.
Steve Zegbe led Dominion with 101 yards rushing and a touchdown on 13 carries. A.J. Darr also scored on a rush for the Titans.
Broad Run 23, Tuscarora 7
Luke Lindenfeldar scored on a 57-yard catch and run touchdown reception from Mitch Griffis to propel the Spartans to a win over last year’s 5A state champion game participants.
Lindenfeldar grabbed Griffis’ pass and outsprinted the Husky defense down the left sideline to boost Broad Run to an early 10-7 first quarter lead. As the game continued on Saturday, the Spartans score on two more Griffis TD passes, one for 70 yards to provide the final margin of victory.
Massaponax 27, Woodgrove 6
In a game that was called after one half, the Panthers dominated the lines and rushed for 231 yards and three touchdowns as Massaponax raised its record to 2-0.
Taking advantage of an offensive line led by stalwarts Jonathan Beaver and Teagan McDonald, Massaponax blasted holes in the Woodgrove line while averaging almost nine yards per carry. Elijah Christopher, Jacob Romero and quarterback Evan Schickel all ran for touchdowns, and Schickel opened the scoring with a 21-yard touchdown pass to Luke Morley.
North Stafford 55, Briar Woods 14
Justin Rutkowski threw an 11-yard touchdown pass to give Briar Woods an early 7-0 lead; however, North Stafford stormed back to decimate the Falcons 55-14.
Jamir Boyd threw for three first-half touchdowns as the Wolverines built a 21-14 halftime lead before the game was postponed due to lightning. On Saturday, Joe Mangano’s team finished business with all five touchdowns scored on the day.
St. Stephen’s/St. Agnes 51, Paul VI 14
The Saints avenged a 14-6 defeat to Paul VI last year with a crushing blow in their season opener, beating the Panthers 51-14.
SS/SA will receive a strict road test next weekend when they challenge another Saints team, this one from St. Christopher’s, in Richmond.
Bishop Ireton 28, St. Albans 10
The Cardinals, 0-10 in 2017, quickly rebounded with a convincing opening day win over the Bulldogs in D.C.
With the win, Ireton gave coach Chip Armstrong a win in his first game back as the Cards’ head coach, a program he led to a 22-10-1 record from 1991 to 1993.
Ireton will open its home season next Saturday against St. James of Hagerstown, MD.
