Good evening everybody and welcome to Friday Football Extra on Your Hometown Station WDBJ-7. The regular season is getting away from us in a hurry as tonight marks week number 10. Highlights from 14 games are on the way, including the marquee showdown of the evening.
[GRAPHIC=PH/PULASKI]
It's been a long time since Friday Football Extra showcased a battle of unbeatens this late in the season. But tonight at Kenneth Dobson Stadium in Pulaski County, the 8-and-0 Cougars hosted the 8-and-0 Patrick Henry Patriots. Steve Mason has the story of the battle for first place in the Roanoke Valley District.

The Cave Spring Knights who will host Pulaski next Friday night are the only thing standing between the Cougars and an unbeaten season. Tonight, Cave was on the road in South Boston taking on the Comets.
(------------)
[VO-NAT]
[SUPER=51-South Boston/Cave Spring vs. Halifax Co.; :00]
The Knights were all business tonight as they took the field after a rather lengthy bus trip to southside. In the first, Jacob Lewis passes to Tom Hagen, who makes the leaping catch and comes down in the endzone for the TD to make it 7-to-nothing Knights. Later in the opening period, lewis will fake the handoff and go back up top as he finds a wide open Michael Brammer in the middle of the field. He hauls it in and finishes the play with a sprint to complete the 70 yard scoring play. In the second quarter, Lewis will keep smoking. This time he and Brammer connect on a 15 yard scoring toss. Cave Spring is in command with a 21-to-nothing lead on the Comets.
[SUPER=52-Cave Spring/49/Halifax Co./7;]
Lewis would let Chris Gould take the next one in the house as he scores from the 5. Cave Spring hammers Halifax County 49-to-7.

The Cave Spring Knights made the long trek to South Boston with a cloud hanging over their heads tonight. There is a possibility that a former Cave Spring player, who played over half of this season with the Knights before transferring to Salem several weeks ago, may have been ineligible to play this season. News 7 Sports first learned of the situation last weekend, but chose not to air the story or the name of the young man in question until some resolution was brought to the issue. That likely will not come until Ken Tilley, the Virginia High School League's executive director returns from vacation next week and reviews the student's transcript. Those of you who have faithfully watched Friday Football Extra over the years know that our number one goal always has been to portray high school athletes in a positive light. We have always strived to put the student-athlete first. Let's hope administrators at both schools do the same. The communities of Salem and Southwest Roanoke County are linked by route 419. It's a road that more than the current player in question has traveled to change schools.
[GRAPHIC=SALEM/VHSL]
Salem and Cave Spring are big rivals. Ones that would be more likely to run into each other on Halloween than during Christmas. Several sources inside the Salem school system have confirmed to me that this eligibility issue was first raised by Salem and not Cave Spring upon review of the transcript.
[GRAPHIC=VHSL]
Let's hope that by bringing this to the Virginia High School League's attention a fair resolution can be reached for all parties involved based on the facts and not some fiction you may find on an internet bulletin board.

[GRAPHIC=SALEM/ALLEGHANY]
The player in question practiced with the Spartans for part of this week, but by midweek it was decided that he would not play tonight as the Spartans hosted Alleghany.
(------------)
[VO-NAT]
[SUPER=51-Salem/Alleghany vs. Salem; ;00]
It was parent's night inside Salem Stadium as another nice crowd gathered hoping to see the Spartans pick up a win. Alleghany would turn it up from his 20 yard line and Terrell Givens gives it all he's got as he blasts up the middle, cuts to the outside and takes it to the house from 80 yards away to make it 7-to-nothing Alleghany. And suddenly there are flashbacks to the days of Higgins and Jefferson. But on the ensuing kickoff, junior return man Roger Waddell will take the ball at his own 9, he finds a hole, and he is gone on a 91 yard return. It's now 7-to-7 and less than 30 seconds are gone in the game. Salem would light it up with 8:49 left in the first as they let Waddell take the handoff from the 27. He goes up the right sideline and now it's 14-to-7 Salem. The Spartans rip off another TD in the opening period with David
[SUPER=52-Alleghany/7/Salem/35;]
Christianson faking the handoff and pitching to Reico Jordan. He goes up the left side and into the house from 59 yards away. Salem rolls to the 35 to 7 win.

We are back and ready to invade the Burg where the surging Blacksburg Indians
[GRAPHIC=NORTHSIDE/BLACKSBURG]
got a chance to make a real statement tonight as they hosted Blue Ridge district front runner Northside. A win for the Vikes tonight would clinch at least a tie for the regular season crown.
(------------)
[VO-NAT]
[SUPER=51-Blacksburg/Northside vs. Blacksburg; :00]
The Vikings came out to start the second half hoping that the defense would continue its domination of the Indians as the Vikes only gave up 13 yards in the first two quarters. And that's exactly what happened as Blacksburg coughs it up and Matt Spangler scoops up the ball and scrambles nearly 40 yards for the touchdown as Northside takes a 28-to-nothing lead on the Indians. Blacksburg would finally find a way to fight back as Brett Smith passes to Scott Sterrett in the end zone for the nine yard touchdown. It's 28-to-7 at this point. Smith would then leave the game at the beginning of the fourth as he gets leveled by the Northside defense. The helmet to helmet hit end's Smith's night as he has to be helped off the field.
[SUPER=52-Northside/28/Blacksburg/7;]
The Vikes would get one more score in the fourth, but it would be called back due to a penalty, but despite those kind of mistakes Northside wins big tonight 28-to-7.

The Lord Botetourt Cavaliers have been keeping pace with the Vikings just in case they might slip up in the closing weeks. Tonight the air minded Cavs hosted Rockbridge County.
(------------)
[VO-NAT]
[SUPER=51-Daleville/Rockbridge Co. vs. Lord Botetourt; :00]
The water girls were busy helping the Cavs during this third quarter timeout as the Cavs had a 41-to-7 lead. Botetourt would keep rolling up the yards as Anthony Ford looks deep and connects with Jared White on the 26 yard play, but Rockbridge County watched the Jets come back on Monday night. Here they come as Jonathan Wilson rolls out to his left, puts it up and Matt Fix pulls it down in the endzone to make it a 41-to-14 game. The Wildcats are on the move again from the 36. Wilson drops back, roll sout and fires it way down field to Dauvon Otey. He makes the catch and he will outrace the coverage for a 64 yard touchdown. It's now 41-to-21. They would get as close as 41-to-27, but Botetourt watched that game too.
[SUPER=52-Rockbridge Co./27/Lord Botetourt/48;]
And Ford hands off to Kevin Lyle. He takes it in off the left side and fights in to push the final to 48-to-27.

(------------)
[VO-NAT]
[SUPER=51-Vinton/Christiansburg vs. William Byrd; :00]
The Terriers had home field advantage on this homecoming night as Patterson Stadium is filled with maroon and orange balloons. We get into the action early in the first quarter on Byrd's first possession quarterback Jeff Highfill on the option pass hits Marcus English he picks up the first down getting into Blue Demon territory A few plays later Highfill gets the handoff to English, he goes around the left end turns the corner and turns on the juice right at the photographer's camera taking it 38 yards into the end zone the kick missed to make it 6 to nothing.
Then the first play of the second quarter the terriers move the ball to the 7 highfill hands off to English who goes around the right end and dives in for the score.
[SUPER=52-Christiansburg/7/William Byrd/28;]
Then on the two point conversion Highfill takes it in and Byrd leads 14 to nothing. The Terriers get the 28 to 7 win over Christiansburg.

[VO-NAT]
[SUPER=51-Ridgeway/Laurel Park vs. Magna Vista; :00]
And his young men were more than ready to make another statement tonight. John Lieteau will take the handoff in the early stages of this game and do just what he has been doing all season long - score a TD. It's 6-to-nothing. Magna Vista would then let Louis Taylor take a turn at getting into the endzone and he finds it up the middle by bulling his way in from the five. It's now 12-to-nothing. Lieteau would get back in the scoring act as he takes the snap from center

Taylor Edwards told his team to kick up its heels tonight and they did just that. Maurice Hamilton goes up the left side and gobbles up about 35 yards before he gets knocked out of bounds after a huge pickup. The Dogs then brought on Greg Wade. He nails the 35 yard field goal and Martinsville is now on top 45-to-nothing. Wade would come back in and

William Fleming and Franklin County invaded Victory Stadium tonight hoping to earn a win and some respect and both teams looked to finish up the final weeks of the season on a positive note.
(------------)
[VO-NAT]
[SUPER=51-Roanoke/Franklin Co. vs. William Fleming; :00]
It was homecoming as Treasure Stone was crowned the Colonels' 2000 queen. Franklin County would have the ball from the Colonels' 37 in the third, and Charles Holland will take the handoff and motor up the middle all the way to the four yard line. On the very next play, Melvin Patterson carries the ball in to tie the game at 7-all with 5:56 left in the third quarter. Fleming would come back on its next possession. On a first and 10 from the Eagles' 41, Calvin Bannister takes the handoff and runs inside for a TD of his own, but the Colonels would not get the extra point. That would be huge. Franklin County caps its season with a 7 minute drive
[SUPER=52-Franklin Co./14/William Fleming/13;]
that culminates with this 9 yard Patterson touchdown off the left. The Eagles get the extra point and Franklin County wins it 14-to-13 to finish the season with a 3 and 7 record.

The Catholic Celtics called the toss and wished they could have named the score, as well. Hargrave was all business with Zach Lepchitz passing to Jason Zeigler who makes the catch and pushes his way in to complete the 15 yard scoring play. They would build on that 7-to-nothing lead as Lepchitz hands off to Chris Bos, who flies up the middle and scores from 31 yards away. Hargrave takes a 23-to-nothing lead on the overmatched Celtics at this point. Hargrave would keep rolling in the second as Alvin Johnson takes the toss around the end and he scores from 10 yards away. Hargrave Military takes a 30-to-nothing lead.

Craig Walkinshaw would get the visitors on the board in the early going as he slams in off the right side and just breaks the plane of the goal line for the Colonels. But the rest of the way this one was all North Cross. Charlie Glenn who blew up for 240 on the ground last week, had another monster game as cruises in off the left side and cuts the lead to 8. The later in the first half, Glenn will break out of the pack in the middle of

We pick it up in the second half with the Bath County Chargers on top 12-to-7. Bath will open the third with quarterback Jacob Phillips keeping the ball and scoring from the 2 to make it an 18-to-7 game in favor of the Chargers. With three minutes left in the third quarter, Covington would go into it's Haloween bag of tricks as number 27 Michael Allen scrambles on the half back option pass. He will hok up with Maurice Broadnax for the sweet 30 yard touchdown pass. After the two point conversion it's suddenly a three point game at 18-to-15. Covington would complete the comeback by taking the lead in the fourth. Wesley Hostetter hands off to Allen who jumps in for the score. It's now 21-to-18 Cougars. But back comes Bath.

After a blocked punt, Glenvar would shine again as the seven play drive is capped by Ryan Still going over the goal line from 3 yards out. It's 12-to-nothing. But the Mustangs would finally come alive. Jamey Harris caps a 73 yard drive with a score of his own.

But King Kennedy was a royal pain all night to the Rustburg defense... just give him the ball and look at him go, this one is for 30 yards all the way to the end zone and all of a sudden we're tied at 7 in the first quarter.
Second half action and it's Dejon again, just a one- yard plunge but it puts Brookville up 13- to 7 in the third quarter.
Bees defense was swarming tonight, Rustburg going for it on 3rd and 6 and Crabtree could run but he couldn't hide from big Russell Lomax who throws him for the 8- yard loss.

((Anthony Hackett is alot of things and colorful is one way to describe him. ((:)) He's confident, he's a team player, and he's got an opinion about when it's time for a superstar to get the ball. ((:))
Don't forget he's also prophetic. During the game he yelled at our FFE photographer...player of the week, I'm your player of the week, a statement he reinforced in the post game interview. ((:))
Hackett was predicting what he knew long before the season began and he made sure his coach, himself a FFE player the week back on September first, 1989, knew about it. ((MAGENBAURER:)) Hackett earns his banquet dinner by beating a very talented Radford team. Norm Lineburg's Bobcats trailed by less than two touchdowns going into the fourth quarter. Hackett put the game away with two scores. ((STEVE MAGENBAURER/GLENVAR HEAD COACH:))
Anthony got the ball 19 times, compared to just four touches against Giles. Glenvar's playoffs hopes are alive again. And Hackett and Magenbaurer's relationship has had a great deal to do with it. Their bond
was cemented when coach Brian Hooker left and Magenbaurer took over. The momentary uncertainty that comes with every coaching change prompted Hackett to briefly think about transferring. ((:)) Magenbauerer advised Hackett to attend Ronde and Tiki Barber's All Star Football Clinics combine. ((NAT SOUND))
His work with strength coach Matt Link was instrumental in bringing Anthony's 40 time down. ((:)) ((STEVE MASON:)) ((:)) Hacket will leave Glenvar as a four year starter who, through nine games of his senior year, has amassed 55 touchdowns. Steve Mason FFE))
