Good evening folks and welcome to the Friday Football Extra. Last week it was the rain, tonight the cold - next week we're working on a plague. Settle in and get warm because in the next half hour we have 13 sets of highlights from this the next to last week of this not-so-regular season.
[GRAPHIC=FRANKLIN/CAVE]
We begin tonight in Roanoke County where Franklin County rolled into Dwight Bogle stadium hoping to clinch at least a tie for the Western Valley district's regular season crown. But the Eagles had to deal with a mighty hungry Cave Spring team - that came in 0-and-8.

[VO-NAT]
[SUPER=51-Roanoke Co./Franklin Co. vs. Cave Spring; :00]
It was a good night to stay bundled up with friends on this blustery night. Franklin County had a 20-to-nothing lead at the half and on the Eagles' first possession of the third - LeBryan Patterson breaks off tackle and he doesn't stop until he hits the endzone. It's a 25 yard scamper and it's now 28-to-zip after the 2 point try. Cave Spring was driving in the third, but Shane Draper fumbles and Patrick Preston scoops it up and he is gone. It's his third score of the night - his second of defense and the Eagles are now in control up 35-to-nothing. The lone Cave Spring highlight was courtesy of Jeremiah Overstreet - who breaks out of the pack and picks up 29 yards on the run for the Knights. But three plays later Kenny Horan has his pass picked off by Jermaine Gill. And he almost takes it to the house. He is brought down at the Cave Spring six. Patterson would then take it in for the score to
[SUPER=52-Franklin Co./42/Cave Spring/0;]
cap the night. Franklin County clinches at least a tie for Western Valley district title with the 42 to 0 win.

[GRAPHIC=JAMES RIVER/COVINGTON]

The James River Knights played not only their final home game, but their final game of the regular season tonight as they played host to Covington down in Buchanan. The Knights came into the game a very stout 7 and 2, while Covington was 1 and 7.
(------------)
[VO-NAT]
[SUPER=51-Buchanan/Covington vs. James River; :00]
Six year old Derrick Dressler is the tee holder for Covington. This future star would hope to inspire a second half comeback as Covington trailed 14-to-nothing at the half. James River wasted no time in padding their lead. Javon Henderson takes the handoff on third down and breaks off a big run, a 30-yard touchdown run for the score as James River pushes it lead to 20-to-nothing. In the fourth quarter, James River's Adam Camper would take a page out of Javon's book busting an 11-yard touchdown run to make it 28-to-nothing James River.
[SUPER=52-Covington/0/James River/28;]
The Knights defense would preserve the shutout as William Wirt intercepts this Robbie Critzer pass. James River rrecords it 5th shutout of the year as they beat Covington 28-to-nothing and now must wait a week to see if they qualify for the playoffs.

[TAPE#=FFE-3]
[GRAPHIC=RADFORD/AUBURN]

The Radford Bobcats certainly feel the James River pain. The three rivers district is always brutal and this year Auburn has added its name to the list with some nice wins - five of them to be exact.
(------------)
[VO-NAT]
[SUPER=51-Riner/Radford vs. Auburn; :00]
The Auburn Eagle was glad to be inside the normally hot costume tonight. On Radford's second possession, Todd Woods out of the shotgun goes over the middle to Adam Gonzalez and the two Bobcats hook up for 72 yards on the pitch and catch. It's 6-to-nothing Radford after the missed extra point and the rout it on. Auburn's ensuing possession would result in something you can't have against Radford - a turnover. Courtney Smith recovers the strip at the 21. Two plays later, David Oliver takes the rock up the left side for another quick score and the opportunistic Bobcats lead 12-to-nothing. They then went for two, and Woods throw the fade route perfectly to Terrell Dobbins.
[SUPER=52-Radford/43/Auburn/8;]
They make it look easy as Radford rolls past Auburn 43 to 8.

[GRAPHIC=GILES/FLOYD]

Radford will get its shot at Floyd County next week, but tonight Floyd had to make it sure it took care of business against it's old nemesis - Giles. The Spartans came in just 4-and-4 overall - but still with a shot of getting a share of the regular season crown in the Three Rivers.
(------------)
[VO-NAT]
[SUPER=51-Pearisburg/Floyd Co. vs. Giles; ;00]
The Spartans were anxious to prove that they were up to the task tonight. Late in the first, Floyd is forced to punt, but the punter Jacob Hawkins decides to run and instead of kick and he will pick up 40 yards on the play before he is stopped in Giles' territory. From the Spartans' 44, Daniel Adams rolls to his right - Matthew Grim is running a corner route and two connect for a 30 yard pickup and the Buffs are in business. Floyd got inside the five and the Buffs have been a scoring machine this season racking up 365 points in their first 8 games, but this time the Spartans said 'not in our house' as they stuff the Buffs on four straight possessions. But two plays after the stand - Giles would fumble the ball away and Chris Collins will recover it to give Floyd back possession of the ball. Early in the second - Hawkins will hit the 26 yard field goal to make it 3-to-nothing.
[SUPER=52-Floyd Co./18/Giles/0;]
It's a bit of a struggle, but Floyd beats Giles 18 to 0.

Welcome back everybody to Week 10 of Friday Football Extra.
[GRAPHIC=PULASKI/NORTHSIDE]
The spotlight game of the week this evening featured an unbeaten Northside team and a Pulaski County squad that was fighting for its life. After opening the first half of the season 1-and-4 - Pulaski has been on a tear winning four in a row a slowly crawling back into postseason contention. But Trav - the Cougars needed to beat Northside tonight to have a shot. [TOSS TO TRAV]
[TRAV GRAPHIC=SPOTLIGHT GENERIC]
Mike, tonight's contest was all about a little role reversal. Last season, it was the Cougars who came in unbeaten and Northside shocked Pulaski County 34 to 24.
[GRAPHIC=SPOTLIGHT MATCHUP]

This evening Jim Hickam's Vikings were looking to keep alive a perfect season and knock off the Cougs for the second straight year.

[GRAPHIC=B'BURG/FLEMING]

Blacksburg and Fleming hooked up tonight at Victory Stadium in the other big Blue Ridge district game with playoff implications. Fleming appears to be in as a three seed in Region three, division four, but the Colonels also wanted a share of that district crown. Blacksburg wanted the points and the boost a win over Fleming would give them.
(------------)
[VO-NAT]
[SUPER=51-Roanoke/Blacksburg vs. William Fleming; :00]
It was homecoming tonight at Victory Stadium as the homecoming court rolled down the home side. On the third play of the game - Fleming has the ball on its own 38 - and Taurus Boyd will hit Mijuan Curtis and he will make the catch and take it to the house going 62 yards for the touchdown. The Colonels breakon top 7-to-nothing. In the middle of the second quarter - Robert Hurdle will run the option for the Indians - and he will pick up 40 yards and a score of his own as the Blacksburg Indians tie the game at 7-all in the second. Late in the half Fleming is on the move again. Donnell Blake goes down the sideline and he will scamper for 23 yards to put the Colonels in position once again. Boyd will later roll out on a third and long, but he is tripped up by the Blacksburg

The William Byrd Terriers are still hoping to wedge their way into the Region Three - division four playoff mix. Byrd was sixth in the points ratings coming into tonight's game with Hidden Valley - but less than 4 tenths of a point behind Blacksburg and Jefferson Forest.
(------------)
[VO-NAT]
[SUPER=51-Vinton/Hidden Valley vs. William Byrd; :00]
Classic cars drove this year's homecoming court into Bob Patterson Stadium. But flower bearer Karlie Riggs and Crown bearer Cody Carawan (Kar-a-wan) steal the spotlight at midfield prior to the homecoming ceremony. We pick up the action in the second quarter with the Terriers up 27-to-7, Byrd quarterback Jeff Highfill passes it out to Josh Baumgartner in the flat who cuts it up the field and takes it 23 yards to the end zone for the touchdown. Byrd adds a two point conversion for a 35-to-7 lead. On their next possession, Highfill goes back to work, connecting with Bruce Janney on this 10-yard touchdown pass and the Terriers extend their lead to 42-to-7 after three quarters. In the fourth, the Titans try to bounce back. Quarterback Brad Oliver takes it right up the middle and picks up 20 yards before he's popped and fumbles the football and Byrd is there to recover it. The Terriers then put in back-up quarterback Billy Welch to spell Highfill and Welch calls his own number from midfield, taking it around the end, down the sidelines and picking up 22 yards.
[SUPER=52-Hidden Valley/13/William Byrd/49; :]
Later in the fourth, Welch hands it off and the Terriers get on the board again on Josh Albert's touchdown run. Hidden Valley scores late in the game, but it's not nearly enough as Byrd ends the Titans innagural season 49-to-13 and stays in the hunt for the post-season.

[GRAPHIC=SALEM/C'BURG]

game between Christiansburg and Salem - two schools that were a collective 2-and-10 in the Blue Ridge district trenches. This one was for pride as Salem looked to get within a game of the 500 mark.
(------------)
[VO-NAT]
[SUPER=51-Christiansburg/Salem vs. Christiansburg; :00]
The Blue Demon kids trailed just 9-to-nothing at the half. Salem in the second half has Scott Scharnus picking up the completion. Salem also picks up 15 more on a penalty. The Spartans get a huge chunk of yardage. Five plays later - Andrae Hairston takes the ball right up the middle for the score and it's now 16-to-nothing Salem after the kick. Later in the fourth, Salem is on the move again. From the Blue Demons' 12 - Hairston will eat some clock and pick up more yards as he drives the ball inside the five. On the next play - he scores again right up the gut.
[SUPER=52-Salem/30/Christiansburg/0;]
Salem beats Christiansburg tonight 30-to-nothing. The Spartans and Botetourt will both be after 500 seasons when they meet next week.

[GRAPHIC=ALLEGHANY/LORD BOTETOURT]

Alleghany and Lord Botetourt have always been big rivals. The neighboring counties have provided Friday Football Extra with some exciting and occasionally controversial moments over the years. The two like to think they have little in common, but in fact they came into tonight's game with identical records.
(------------)
[VO-NAT]
[SUPER=51-Daleville/Alleghany vs. Lord Botetourt; :00]
Senior night in Daleville as the Botetourt parents and players gathered on the track before the game on this chilly night. The Cavalier offense was anything but cold early in the game. On first-and-ten, Botetourt runningback C.J. Booth takes the handoff on the draw play and gains 18 yards moving the ball to the Alleghany 22 yard line. Two plays later, Cavalier Quarterback Eric Driscoll is looking for receiver Steven Hinton. Hinton makes the in-your-living room catch for the 14 yard touchdown pass and the Cavaliers take a 7-to-nothing lead. In the second quarter, Botetourt would put together another nice drive. Here Driscoll pitches it out to Greg Engleman. Engleman, follows his blocking, finds an alley and gains 14 yards to the Alleghany 10 yard line.
[SUPER=52-Alleghany/6/Lord Botetourt/35 ; :]
Then on third and goal, the Cavaliers finish it off, Driscoll gets his second touchdown pass of the night hooking up with Chris Edmonds on a five yard touchdown pass. The Cavaliers take a 14-to-nothing lead midway through the second and roll to a 35-to-6 win over the Mountaineeers

(------------)
[VO-NAT]
[SUPER=51-Narrows/Galax vs. Narrows; :00]
` The Narrows varsity girls basketball team also wants a piece of Galax and the Wave will get its chance this coming Thursday night. Narrows led this thing 28-to-19 in the third, but here comes Brandon Brown. The Galax back takes it into the zone and the score is now 28-to-26 Green Wave hanging on. Galax again - still in third. Travis Nelson gets the call and he will rip off one good and proper. The fullback takes it 35 yards and Galax takes a 33-to-28 lead at this point. Narrows would come right back with an 11 play, 53 yard drive in the fourth quarter. Brandon Spicer punches it in from the three and the Green Wave is back on top after the two point conversion. It's 36-to-33 Narrows. Galax hollars back. Mack Whittaker connects with Brown on the pass and he is gone again. This time it's a 60 yard touchdown reception. The Maroon Tide is now on top 40-to-36 after the point after kick. With under a minute to go - the Green Wave needs a stop on a fourth and five - but Brown breaks free on a 63 yard scoring run.
[SUPER=52-Galax/47/Narrows/36;]
Galax uses Brown to color the Green Wave Blue as Galax wins it 47-to-36 and for all intents and purposes lock up the Mountain Empire title. The game also marked the end of an era at Narrows as Don Lowe announced his retirement as head coach after the game.

A few plays later from the Liberty 13 - Nichols pitches the ball to Craig Oliver. He cuts it up the middle and scores to make it 7-to-nothing Staunton River. Late in the first quarter - the Minutemen answer back. Quarterback O.B. Blake gets the ball to Michael Pennix. He cuts around the near end and he will eventually get 44 yards on the play before being brought down. Pennix again carries the ball inside the red zone as he sets the table for teammate Tyler Dinwiddie on this carry. Dinwiddie slams in on the TD run

As always, one good play deserves another.. Patrick Witcher wanted to hand it off but will keep it himself.. he gets a couple of great blocks downfield and he's gone.. 77 yards to the house and the Lancers are up six-nothing early on.
Forest has an answer though, Parziale on the keeper around the right end.. that's good for 21 yards down to the Amherst 11.

((Jacob Hawkins was unstoppable running the ball....kicking the ball....catching the ball....and punt returning the ball against the Eagles on a rainy night played on a muddy field. When the final stats were compiled, the senior fullback amassed 193 yards on offense and special teams and accounted for 22 of Floyd County's 40 points. ((:)) ((:))
Even more impressive, Hawkins scored all three of his touchdowns in the first half and led the Buffaloes into intermission up 27-nothing. He scored on a 56 yard punt return and then turned right around and kicked the extra point. His versatility can be traced back to his days playing with a pigskin in the front yard with his dad. ((:)) ((STEVE MASON:)) ((:)) ((:))
Jacob is also talented at the pottery wheel. Hawkins is also into stain glass art where he uses a soldering iron to weld steal and glass together. ((:)) ((:))
Hawkins hopes to continue his football and art education next year in college. But, as a member of two Floyd teams that have played in and come up short in two state championship games, he still has some unfinished business as a Buffalo. Steve Mason Friday Football extra.))
