Playing a little catch up here, and will post Week 5 in a couple of days!
Unlike its counterparts further south in the state, the Northern Virginia teams were able to complete all of their games last weekend, although in some cases, it required playing a day or two earlier or later than originally scheduled.
And while some of the game dates and times ended up being a surprise, the results were less so, as most favored teams went about their business and cranked out victories.
There were a few surprises. Gar-Field, a team that had won only one of its previous 32 games, easily defeated Osbourn 27-6, giving coach Tony Keiling his first win as the Indians’ head whistle. And Woodgrove, which had lost two of its first three games, upended 2017 5A state finalist Tuscarora 42-28.
Gar-Field 27, Osbourn 6
Sophomore quarterback Bishop Fitzgerald threw for 190 yards and added 80 on the ground as the Indians snapped an 18-game losing streak.
Jalen Byers (4 rec., 78 yds.) caught Fitzgerald’s lone touchdown pass, while brother Monty added five catches for 102 yards.
Running back Jordan Sovay matched his quarterback with 80 rushing yards, and sophomore linebacker Mason Woods keyed the defense with a 45-yard interception return for a touchdown.
Woodgrove 42, Tuscarora 28
Nick Lockhart’s 33-yard fumble recovery for a touchdown helped Woodgrove open up a 35-14 lead over the favored Huskies.
Woodgrove led 21-14 at the half, but scored on a 15-yard run with four minutes remaining in the third quarter. On Tusky’s next possession, Lockhart scooped up a loose ball and ran it in for the game-clinching touchdown.
Leron West had a 65-yard run and reception for scores for Tuscarora (2-2), while Ethan Gick threw for a pair of scores and added a 40-yard rushing TD.
Broad Run 21, Champe 13
Mitch Griffis tossed two touchdowns as the Spartans upped their mark to 3-1 with a gutsy win over John Champe.
The Knights got on the board first, courtesy of two Jacob Morrill field goals. But Griffis found Miner twice, the first for a 41-yard gainer, and second for a seven-yard touchdown connection, giving Broad Run a slim 7-6 edge at the half.
Griffis found Luke Lindenfeldar for a 25-yard score to extend the lead to 14-6 through the third period, and Tim Baldwin (23 carries for 79 yards) culminated a fourth quarter drive with four straight carries, busting free on the fourth for a 13-yard TD.
Westfield 31, Stonewall Jackson 13
The Bulldogs ran their winning streak to 27 games, although this one was tougher than usual as Stonewall Jackson were within a point at 14-13 in the third quarter.
Westfield scored first as tight end Joe Clancy scored on an eight-yard pass from Noah Kim. Isaiah Daniel (19 carries, 154 yards) scored on a pair of one-yard runs, with the second pushing Westfield back to an eight-point lead at 21-13. A short Riley Nugent bumped the lead to 11, and Sean Goodman finished the scoring with a 25-yard run midway through the fourth quarter.
Woodbridge 34, Battlefield 7
Lamonte James ran for 203 yards and two TD’s as the Vikings remained unbeaten at 3-0 with a convincing win over the previously undefeated Bobcats.
Taylor Harris forced a fumble midway through the first quarter with Battlefield readying to score the game’s first points. James recovered the loose ball and turned the momentum in Woodbridge’s favor.
Harris also ran for 121 yards and two TD’s while adding a third on a punt return for Woodbridge (4-0).
Colonial Forge 42, Hylton 14
Defense ruled the day for the undefeated Eagles, who improved to 4-0 with the win over the Bulldogs in a game that was pushed back to Wednesday.
In the opening quarter, Avery Johnson-Edmonds picked off a Keyshawn Copeland pass and rambled 53 yards for the game’s first touchdown. Oliejah Louissant’s four-yard TD run, opened the lead to 14-0, and Forge entered intermission with a 21-7 lead.
The Eagle defense held Hylton to 103 yards while churning up 281. Madden Lowe threw for 193 yards on 15 of 24 passing and delivered passing scores to Johnson-Edmonds and Paten Rodier. Zack Kindel and Elijah Sarratt combined for nine catches for 110 yards, while Nico Lee scored on a 33-yard run with his only carry.
Edison 35, McLean 21
In one of Wednesday’s other games, Edison, behind John Logan’s 153 rushing yards, gained its first victory of the year over a winless Highlander squad.
Logan scored on runs of 60 and 80 yards, and the Eagles opened up a 35-6 lead after three quarters. Bryant Jenkins scored on an eight-yard run, and Chase Shelton caught a 15-yard TD pass from Peyton Jones. The Eagles (1-2) also excelled on special teams with Mustafa Hafeez recovering a blocked punt in the end zone.
Mountain View 24, Potomac 12
The Wildcats ran for 427 yards on just 50 carries to blast through a Panther team still seeking its first win of 2018.
Quarterback Tyler Haskins led the charge with 219 yards on 23 carries with a pair of touchdowns. Ronald Robinson added 176 with a score that opened up a 21-0 lead for Mountain View early in the third quarter.
With the win, coach Lou Sorrentino’s team raised its record to 4-0, and the Cats will face Stafford this coming weekend.
Mt. Vernon 54, Washington-Lee 10
Quarterback Fonnae Webb ran for 180 yards and four touchdowns, while Kofi Kwarteng caught two touchdowns as the Majors ran their record to 4-0 for the second straight year.
Kwarteng had 125 receiving yards, including 80 on a touchdown pass and catch from Asa Fitch-Laviree. Daniel Danzo added 97 rushing yards on eight carries, and the Majors tallied 493 total yards while building up a 47-7 halftime lead.
Episcopal 21, Gilman (MD) 17
Jamal Mensah caught two touchdown passes from sophomore John Moses as the Maroon won its season opener over Gilman of Baltimore.
Moses threw for 111 yards, and running back Juanell Walker added a 35-yard rushing score as new coach Mark Moroz won his first game with Episcopal.
