Good evening folks and welcome to the regular season finale of Friday Football Extra. What a night we have you with everything from a report from the Orange Bowl in Miami - to an amazing story of a Northside lineman who 17 years ago was making headlines as an infant in the Star City.
[GRAPHIC=CAVE/PULASKI]
But we begin tonight with what was supposed to be the culmination of Pulaski County's perfect 10 and 0 season. The Cougars came into Roanoke County tonight facing a Cave Spring that had been stripped of six wins and any chance of making the playoffs. Most folks figured this team had also been stripped of its will pride and it's will to win. Those folks were dead wrong.

[VO-NAT]
[SUPER=51-Roanoke Co./Pulaski Co. vs. Cave Spring;]
It was seniors night at Dwight Bogle stadium as many of these young man knew they were preparing to play their final home game. And they certainly played under the motto that "the Future is Now." Jacob Lewis hit Tom Hagen to cap a 70 yard drive to open the game. It's 7-to-nothing and the fireworks were just beginning. Cave Spring takes its next possession and goes 46 yards with an instant replay on the Lewis to Hagan bullet pass for another score. It's 14-to-nothing. After a blocked punt, Cave would get on the board again in the first as Lewis again throws a TD pass. This time Daniel Payne hauls it in and he jukes his way in from 32 yards out. It's now 21-to-nothing. The Knights would go up 28-to-nothing on another Lewis TD pass, and then continue moving the pill as Lewis scoots in from 20 yards out on the keeper and suddenly the score is 35-to-nothing in the second. Then right before the half with the Cougars already staggering, Lewis hooks up with Michael Brammer over the middle. The Knights hit the lockeroom on top 42-to-nothing. Lewis had 297 yards passing at halftime. Lewis would continue to destroy the Pulaski secondary as he hooks up with Brammer on a 61 yard bomb.
[SUPER=52-Pulaski Co./14/Cave Spring/49;]
The Knights take a 49-to-nothing lead in the third and cruise to the amazing 49 to 14 victory over previously unbeaten Pulaski County.

Friday Football Extra has learned tonight that Cave Spring has filed another appeal with the Virginia High School League in an attempt not to forfeit the six games it played with an ineligible player early in the season. An independent hearing officer, or attorney, would hear this case. However, a VHSL official told me tonight the league plans to set the playoff pairings on Sunday without Cave Spring in the equation.

The Cave Spring players rallied around their coaches tonight and the community rallied around the players. The disappointment of missing the playoffs will still be with the Cave Spring program for a while, but head coach Ben Foutz can rest easy this weekend knowing the lessons he learned as a young assistant coach under Jim Hickam, have now been successfully passed on to his own players.

(------------)
[VO-NAT]
[SUPER=51-Roanoke/Patrick Henry vs. Wm. Fleming; :]
We pick it up with PH on top 14-to-7 at the half. PH is looking for more as Maurice Robinson keeps and carries inside the five yard line. But PH comes up empty as the Colonels' defense stands tall. But the Fleming special teams would hurt the Colonels again tonight as the long snapper sails the ball out of punt formation over Richard Barrett's head. It ends up being a safety for PH. It's now 16-to-7.
[SUPER=52-Patrick Henry/16/William Fleming/14;]
Fleming would come back and cut the lead to 16-to-14 as Calvin Bannister runs it in off the right side. But that's how it ends as PH wins a share of the RVD crown.

[SUPER=51-Low Moor/Northside vs. Alleghany; :00]
It was also senior night at Alleghany as band member Eric Hayslett graces his mom with a flower as halftime with Northside on top 19-to-nothing lead. The Vikes would come out in the third at their own 6 and end up getting trapped in the endzone for a safety as Alleghany makes it 19-to-2. Still in the third, the Mounties keep fighting back as Dwayne Washington gets the ball to the Hoss - Terrell Givens. He will slam it in from the 8. It's now 19-to-8. But in the fourth Jim Hickam's Vikings would get their fire back as Tommy Morgan keeps around the right side. He will pick up 51 yards as he turns on the kets down the sideline to put the Vikes in scoring position. Morgan then hands off to John Armstrong who scores from the 6. to make it 28-to-6.
[SUPER=52-Northside/34/Alleghany/14;]
Morgan will score again as Northside wins it 34-to-14 to capture the Blue Ridge distirct championship outright.

(------------)
[VO-NAT]

The Indians rolled onto the field at Bill Brown Stadium hoping to get a win and somehow slide in the back door of the playoffs. We pick it up with Botetourt on top 17-to-14 in the third. Anthony Ford hands off to Daniel Perkins, who rolls in for the 17 yard touchdown and it's now 24-to-14 Cavs. Botetourt would again get on the board as Ford keeps the rock and scores from the four to make it 31-to-14. But Blacksburg would rally in a major way as Brett Smith finds James Williams in the corner of the endzone for the touchdown. It's now 31-to-21. The Indians just would not go away. As Scott Sterrett nails a 36 yard field goal to cut the lead to 31-to-24. But the

The officiating crew for this one got a well served breather at halftime. The Spartans put the ball on the ground in the second half with a 31 to nothing lead and let last week's hero Roger Waddell take it in for the TD that makes it a 38-to-nothing lead. Waddell would continue making big plays as he breaks through for another Salem score. The count is now Salem 45 and Christiansburg nothing.
[SUPER=52-Salem/52/Christiansburg/0;]
In the fourth, Salem would top off the scoring with number 30 Heath Foster diving in for the TD. Salem beats Christiansburg like a drum tonight winning 52-to-nothing.

The Bulldogs came into this one hoping to continue building momentum. Rache Waller will open the scoring with a play that Buddy Brown didn't care to see - a 35 yard bomb to Delvin Hairston. We're in the second quarter and it's 7-to-nothing. Still in the second, Tunstall will come back with Brandon Harrison keeping up the left side right at us. The score is now 7-to-7. The Bulldogs would answer that with a score on an instant retaliation. Harrison keeps and burns the Trojans with his speed to put the Dogs back on top 14-to-7. Martinsville

The Liberty cheerleaders were showing their stuff for the big game tonight. We pick up the action in the first quarter...Liberty already up 6-0 when they are forced to punt, but a huge mistake o
n the return. Pioneer return man #25 Cedric Mitchell goes after the ball and loses it...Liberty recovers.
A couple of plays later, Minutemen with the trickery, the pitch to halfback Chase Andrews and he looks deep for #2 Jos

Heritage trying to mount a comeback, quarterback Joey White finds reciever Anthony Goodwin and watch the nice 56 yard run, all the way to the Liberty 4, pioneers showing some life. But Liberty's defense was strong as it was all night long....White looking to thread one into the endzone, but the Min

It was senior night at Spartan field as players and parents were honored before the opening kickoff. The Spartans quickly jumped out to a 8-to-nothing lead and Carson Ward would quickly add another score to that total as he scores from the 11. It's 15-to-nothing. On the first play of the Spartans' next possesion, Ward would continue to dominate the Mustangs as he breaks free on a 59 yard scamper. He will take it to the house as Giles makes it 22-to-nothing still in the first. The man of the night would then put his name in the Giles' history book as this 8 yard carry makes him the all-time single season rushing leader at Giles breaking the old mark held by former player of the week Raypheal Milton.

Auburn has the ball facing a third and 17 and quarterback Levi Day drops back to pass but Radford's Chris Cook picks the ball off and runs it in for the 22 yard touchdown to make it 7 to nothing Radford. Auburn would go to the air game again as Day hooks up with Brian Garrett and picks up a first down but the Eagles' drive would stall.

It was Senior night in Highlander Heaven as Steve Magenbauer's team looked to strike quickly.

Then from the Glenvar 18, Covington regroups with senior Michael Allen flying up the middle and into the house to tie the score at 8-all. Glenvar would score again and then again as Anthony Hackett runs out of the shotgun and scores on the 12 yard TD run. It's 24-to-8 Highlanders.
[SUPER=52-Covington/14/Glenvar/61;]
Covington just would not go away. On a 4th and one from the Covington 37, Allen gets the yard and much more as he scores on the TD run. Glenvar beats the Cougars 61 to 14.

When a high school has small enrollment and when that high school also happens to be private in nature, you can bet that the top athletes on the team will be playing both ways.

Our player of the week is just that kind of kid. North Cross senior Charlie Glenn has taken the two way performer tag to heart and turned himself into a beast on both sides of the ball.
Roy Stanley has his story.

((At 5 foot 11 and 188 pounds, Glenn has attained the durability to play on offense, defense and special teams for the North Cross Raiders.)) ((JIM MUSCARO/NORTH CROSS HEAD COACH:)) ((The Raider offense is built around Glenn a former quarterback. And last week against Massanutten he showed his durability carrying the ball 28 times for 220 yards and 3 touchdowns in the Raiders come from behind win.)) ((CHARLIE GLENN/PLAYER OF THE WEEK:)) ((Veteran coaches like Muscaro refer to players like Glenn as old school. He lifts weights in the off season, studies film and devotes all his extra time toward the game.
And when the Raiders suit up for practice or on game day, Glenn is there to lead by example.)) ((MUSCARO:)) ((GLENN:)) ((ROY STANLEY:)) ((Glenn will welcome the chance to play football in college but his major priority is leading the Raiders into the Independent conference playoffs.
