Continuing to follow behind what has happened this season. As seen on recruitNOVA.com
The seventh week of Northern Virginia football came just after the release of the first VHSL ratings which gave fans an early look at the playoff contenders and pretenders. While many of the top slots were filled with the usual suspects, there were some surprises as W.T. Woodson (6C) and Mountain View (5D) led their respective divisions. Woodson will hold its spot after an 18-7 win over Class 6 South County, but Mountain View, and second seeded Massaponax, may drop after a heartbreaking 17-16 loss to Brooke Point for the View and Ponax’s 35-0 shutout by Colonial Forge.
Meanwhile, in Lower Alexandria…
Hayfield 34, Mt. Vernon 18
Chase Soper threw for four touchdowns and ran for a fifth, as the Hawks opened up an early lead and held off the previously undefeated Majors 34-18.
For the second year in a row, it was the Hawks who tripped up a 5-0 start for Mt. Vernon. Ironically, the Majors controlled the momentum in the first quarter, but could only muster a 36-yard field goal from Sam Renzi. A Jayden Lenore interception snuffed another Major drive, while Marquez Perdue recovered a Mount Vernon fumble to end another. After Perdue’s recovery, Soper snuck into the end zone from the 3 to open up a 7-3 lead.
Just before halftime, Soper found Scott Woods on a screen and the sophomore sprinted 85 yards for the Hawks’ second TD, as Hayfield took a 14-3 lead into intermission. Woods would catch a slant pass for another 75-yard score early in the third quarter to clinch the game for Hayfield, who now match Mt. Vernon’s 5-1 record.
Tim Drummond-Wiggins caught the other two Soper touchdown passes.
Westfield 17, Madison 15
The Bulldogs won their state-leading 30th game in a row, but fended off a spirited challenge from The Warhawks before escaping with a two-point victory.
Bizzet Woodley caught an eight-yard touchdown pass from Noah Kim and Isaiah Daniel (17 carries, 81 yards) ran for a six-yard score as Westfield built up a 14-7 halftime lead. Riley Nugent’s 33-yard field goal in the third quarter bumped the lead to ten, but a fourth quarter TD by Madison, followed by a two-point conversion kept the Hawks within striking distance late in the game.
Brandon Walker led Madison (5-2) with 121 rushing yards, while John Finney caught five passes for 113 yards.
Marshall 18, Annandale 15
Andrew Margiotta caught a 25-yard touchdown pass from brother Patrick, as the Statesmen solidified their playoff hopes with a narrow win over the Atoms.

Madden Lowe connected on 11 of 13 passes for 128 yards and two scores – a 21-yarder to Zack Kindel and 18-yarder to Joshua Jackson. Max Kauthen added a 15-yard run for a score in the second half as the Eagles extended their record to 7-0, while Ponax (6-1) suffered its first defeat.
Brooke Point 17, Mountain View 16
Brooke Point overcame a 16-3 halftime deficit to stun the Class 5D top-ranked Mountain View squad by a point.
Sophomore quarterback Charles Mutter, relieving an injured Noah Sanders, scored the game-winning touchdown on a seven-yard run in the final quarter. The Wildcats had one more chance to score and made it to the Brooke Point 15 to set up a potential game-winning field goal, but lost nine yards on the next play to fall out of three-point range.
The Black-Hawks’ Christian Thompson rushed for 97 yards on 20 carries and blocked two punts on special teams. Ronald Robinson (12 caries, 73 yards) added a 38-yard scoring run for the game’s first score. Brooke Point is now 4-2 while Mountain View fell to 5-1.
