A very pleasant Friday night to you folks and welcome to another edition of Friday Football Extra. What a perfect night for football as the humidity disapeared much to the delight of players and coaches all over the area. We have the highlights of 15 games tonight, plus the player of the week, the Super 7 and we're giving away Tech - Texas A&M tickets.
[graphic=glass/heritage]
So let's get right to it. We begin tonight with one of our traditional rivalries that has been lagging abit in recent seasons. EC Glass and Heritage hooked up tonight at City Stadium - both fresh off opening night wins.

Heritage led 13-to-7 at the half, and in the third Glass has the ball with Nick Anderson hooking up with Cordellroy Moseley on a 36 yard completion down the right sideline to the 14 yard line. A few plays later Renando Rose sweeps around the right side and he's in the zone. It's 14-to-13 in favor the Toppers.
Next - Heritage will answer right back with Brandon Giles scooting right up the middle on the 21 yard score. It's now 19-to-14 Pioneers after a failed two point try. Early in the fourth - here come the Pioneers again. Wayne Ford hooks up with Donald Alexander on a 27 yard completion down the near sideline to set up another score. Two plays later - Giles goes around the right side and he scores.

Another traditional rivalry that is huge for the neighboring communities was held tonight in Vinton as William Byrd hosted Staunton River in rumble on Route 24.
(------------)
[VO-NAT]
[SUPER=53-Vinton/Golden Eagles vs. Terriers; :00]
The Terriers rolled into Bob Patterson Stadium tonight and they were greeted by a wild and woolly crowd. On the first play of the second quarter - Jeff Highfill looks down field and he will connect with a wide open Kyle Allen. He makes the catch and takes it all the way to the Dog House for a 44 yard score. 6-to-nothing Byrd. But a few plays later the Golden Eagles answer back. Mike Elliott hands off to the man with the best name in the game -Wiley Foxx. He takes to the outside on a 58 yard touchdown scamper. Wiley Foxx and the Eagles lead 7-to-6. On the ensuing kickoff - Billy Ray Welch fields the ball at the one and he will do a great job of following his blockers. He cuts back across the field and eventually picks up 78 yards on the return.
[SUPER=50-Staunton River/7/William Byrd/19;]
Highfill would add a five yard keeper as Byrd moves to 2-and-0 with the 18 to 7 win.

[GRAPHIC=CAVE/NORTHSIDE]

Last year Cave Spring was 0-and-10, while Northside was 10-and-0. But last week Cave Spring won and Northside was shutout. Tonight the Vikes and Knights hooked up at Dwight Bogle Field.
(------------)
[VO-NAT]
[SUPER=53-Roanoke Co./Northside vs. Cave Spring; :00]
The Vikes were doing their best to pump some life into the offense on the field and on the sideline. But this one was scoreless in the third when the Vikes lined up for this field goal. The 37 yard attempt by Grandin Van Marter is a line drive and he bangs off the cross bar. We're still tied at 0. Cave Spring would get inself in field goal range in the third as Brian Thompson picks up the pass in the flat and will carry it 43 yards all the way down to the Vikings' 33 yard line. The Knights would get it down to the 14 and Mark Bauman came on to hit the 31 yard field goal - and it is good.
[SUPER=50-Northside/0/Cave Spring/3;]
Cave Spring is now 2-and-0, while Northside has yet to score a point

(------------)

[SUPER=53-Daleville/Hidden Valley vs. Lord Botetourt; :00]
The Cavaliers hosted the county's youth football and cheer teams tonight for rec club night. The Titans hit halftime with a 14-to-nothing lead. We pick it up in the third as the Titans punt and Cavalier return man Austin Tuell pulls is down and busts loose down the sideline for 55 yards putting the Cavs in Titans' territory. A few plays later - the Cavs' Matt Witt slams in for the three yard score. Lord Botetourt cuts the lead to 14-to-6 after the blocked kick. Still in the third, the Titans' Brad Oliver fires the pass across the middle to Jimmy King in the endzone. Hidden Valley gets

They are not in the same district, but they have always shared the same successes on the football field. Tonight, the G-Men from Graham ventured up from Bluefield and hooked up with Blacksburg at Bill Brown Stadium
(------------)
[VO-NAT]
[SUPER=53-Blacksburg/Graham vs. Blacksburg; :00]
Blacksburg in the first quarter will be faced with third down three yards from the endzone, but Shane Bennett will fumble on the way in and Ahmad Bradshaw will recover for the G-Men to snuff out the score. In the second, Blacksburg is knocking on the door one more time from the six. David Hough (HUFF) throws the ball to Shane Owen for a six yard touchdown in the right corner of the endzone. Tyler Corvin converts the kick and it's now 7-to-nothing in favor of the "artist formally known as the Indians." Still in the second, with just over 6 minutes to go. Blacksburg will pick up 22 yards on this pass to Allen Reynolds right over the middle to move into Graham territory. With under five minutes to go in the half - Blacksburg will get another Hough TD toss and Reynolds hauls it in.
[SUPER=50-Graham/0/Blacksburg/28;]

[SUPER=53-Christiansburg/Giles vs. Christiansburg;:00]
The Blue Demon coaching staff was all business tonight on the sideline with a 12-to-8 halftime lead. With 10 minutes and 30 seconds to go in the third, the Spartans are trying get back in the game as Ricky Cook runs 23 yards down the right sideline moving the ball to the 46. Later with seven minutes to go in the third, from their own three, the Blue Demons' get the ball back after a punt and Shane Cox rips off a 22 yard run.

A beautiful night in southside would quickly turn ugly for the home team. With the score already 20-to-nothing - Bath's Joey Krausse marches 28 yards down the near side for the score and Bath County is on top 26-to-nothing early in the second. Things would only get worse as former player of the week Jacob Phillips takes his turn by hitting paydirt from 10 yards out to make it a 33-to-nothing game. Laurel Park finally got something going as Carlos Wade makes the catch, shows a few moves and scores the 38 yard TD. It's 33 to 6 after the missed kick. Meanwhile, senior bass drummer Ebony Walker is so pleased with the TD that she shows a few moves of her own. Phillips would then get one through the air by firing the TD to Nathan Anderson from 8 yards out.

(------------)
[VO-NAT]
[SUPER=53-Ridgeway/Franklin Co. vs. Magna Vista;:00]
An emotional pregame ceremony in Ridgeway tonight as the Warriors honored Trevor Cox, the lineman who lost his life in a car accident less than a mile from the school last November. The tribute included a monument which sits inside the stadium, and a moment of silence. All of that overshandowed the return of Joe Beckelheimer to the sideline after his one game suspension. A defensive struggle shifted Franklin County's way late in the second as Patrick Preston hauls in the pass from Daniel Brooks for a first down inside the five. The Eagles would then cash in as Ronnie Edwards breaks the scoreless tie 90 seconds before the half. The five yard TD puts Franklin County on top 7-to-nothing. On Magna Vista's ensuing possession - Matt Duffy drops back, but there is that man again - Preston gets the pick and he will also gain some nice yardage on the return. Just seconds before the half - Andrew Schekner boots in the 19 yard field goal at the horn.

The Red Devils blasted onto the field tonight looking to move to 2-and-0. The Bulldogs have the ball on their first possession and Tyler Bassett will attempt to hook up with Demario Davis, but Brandon Crabtree will put the wood on him and break up the pass. A couple of possessions later the Dogs are backed up in their own zone, and here come the Red Devil special teams blocking the kick and recovering on the 8 yard line. A few plays later - Terrance Waller sweeps around the end for a four yard score and it's 7-to-nothing Rustburg.
[SUPER=50-Martinsville/0/Rustburg/14;]

[SUPER=53-Wytheville/Radford vs. George Wythe;:00]
Coach Norm Lineburg, in his 41st season, started the second half with a surprising 17-to-nothing lead over coach Donnie Pruitt in his 4th year as head coach. But things can change quickly in Roy Stanley's hometown and after a Radford fumble on its first possession of the third - Robert Barcliff takes off up the middle and he will go 23 yards for the score. George Wythe is chipping away at the lead. On the first play of the Cats next possession, Nathan Charlton finds Seth Gibson. The problem is that Gibson is a DB for the Maroons and he make the pick and returns it to the 48. Six plays later - Barcliff busts one down the right side and he will pick up 34 yards on the touchdown and it's on as Radford's lead is down to 17-to-14. But Cats have nine lives, and Charlton will scramble, avoid a sack, pass and hit Scott King who breaks a tackle and he will rumble 82 yards for the clinching TD.
