[GRAPHIC=C'BURG VS. CAVE]
But let's get started in the River Ridge where the district's unbeaten front runners squared off tonight. No, I'm not talking about Pulaski and Salem - but rather Cave Spring and Christiansburg.
[graphic=spotlight]
For tonight's Dr. Pepper spotlight game of the week - we head to South Roanoke County and Bogle field where the two 6-and-0 Region Three , division Three squads hooked up in a battle of Super 7 members.

(( Ben Foutz and his Knights took care of business early in the season on the road, so they could host games like this one on their home turf. In the second - Chafin Scott winds up and boots a 23 yard field goal to put the Knights on top 3-to-nothing. Christiansburg would get the ball back , and on a second and 33 from their 20 the Blue Demons' Andrew Hoffer would get it done - lofting one down the left sideline to Jacques LeBoone - who hauls it in for 29 yards to set up a short third down. Five plays later Hoffer goes across the middle of the field. The ball is tipped and number 6 Alex Roth pulls it in for the interception and that will ignite the Knights offensive push. On a second and seven from from the demons 25 - Beau Austin pump fakes once, and then drops the ball right into the hands of Brian Thompson for the score. It's 10-to-nothing at halftime. But coming out of the lockeroom the winds of change started to blow. On a first ten from their 45, Hoffer connects with Terrell Burke across midfield for a nice gain. Six plays later Hoffer goes back to sure thing as Leboone makes the catch on the 18 yard hookup. Leboone just wants it more in the corner of the endzone. The capping off of the nine play 69 yard drive makes it 10-to-7. With 5:55 left in the fourth Christiansburg would complete the comeback as Zach Boyd chips in a 27 yard field goal to tie the game and send it to overtime. In fact it would not be settled until the fourth ovetime. Cave Spring decided to kick the field on a fourth down. Scott hits it to make it 27-to-24 Knights. The Demons then went for the kill. Hoffer and Leboone - as they have all season long - get it down in the clutch. The catch and tiptoe watch into the zone quiets the crowd as the Blue demons stay unbeaten with the 30-to-27 win.))

not so small factor of Steve Magenbauer - the first year Salem head coach - who started and built the Hidden Valley program from day one before returning to his alma mater. The Spartans had a 21-to-10 lead to start the second half. They would quickly turn a Titan turnover into more points. Matt Shawver hands off to Andre Hairston and he will take it around the right end and right into the endzone untouched with the help of a big cut to make it 28-to-10. After another Titans' turnover - this one inside the Hidden Valley 10 - Shawver fires over the middle to Bryan Webb. He makes the grab and gets in to make it 35-to-10. Salem would do it again. This time from the their own 25, Shawver drops back and goes deep. He connects D'Juan Smith - the speedster - makes the great catch and stretches out theplay for 38 yards and first. In the fourth, Salem would finish it off as Joey Daniels pounds it in for six more.

The Pulaski County had their homecoming ruined by Hidden Valley last Friday night. This week, the Cougars faced a must-win situation on the road against a Blacksburg team that has been riddled with injuries.

[SUPER=53-Blacksburg/Pulaski Co. vs. Blacksburg; :00]
At halftime - 10 year old Matthew Vaught attempts this 20 yard field for a six month supply of hot wings - and Matt shows almost enough leg - but handles the setback well telling out crew - "I'm a cheeseburger man." We pick it up in the third with Pulaski clinging to a 7-to-nothing lead and the artist formerly known as the Indians on the move. From the Cougars 46 Matt Woods takes the handoff to the right side and does his best Superman impersonation as he flies over two guys for 12 yards on the play. But the Cougars found the Cryptomite as Woods coughs up the ball and Pulaski recovers to stop the drive. The Cougars would take advantage of the turnover as Kevin Crouse takes off and goes 51 yards to put the Cougars on top 14-to-nothing on the touchdown run at the end of the third. Now in the fourth, Crouse would continue to carry his team, as he breaks a tackle at the line of scrimmage, and he will not stop until he is brought down at the Bruins 23 yard line. A few plays later on a third and one, he goes off tackle and Pulaski

beats Blacksburg to stay in the postseason hunt with a 20-to-nothing win.

He's headed down the left sideline, and just like that it's 7-to-nothing Lord Botetourt on top of the Colonels. But Fleming would catch its breath and deliver a counter punch. From the Botetourt 30, Dwayne Priest takes the handoff and heads to his left. He gets caught up traffic on that side and decides to completely reverse his field.

A few plays later, Jonathan Williams hits Matt Duffy in the endzone for the touchdown and Magna Vista led 21 to nothing to start the fourth quarter.
But the Dogs rallied. Victor "Snoop" Hairston picks up the Warrior fumble, and he's off to the races. Hairston finds plenty of daylight up the right sideline, and gets a few blocks along the way taking it to the house to get the Bulldogs on the board.

It was homecoming at Ed Bassett as the Cougars looked to play the role of the spoiler after rolling down Route 58.

Two plays later, Hairston tries the other side and this time he will find the endzone on a 12 yard score. It's 12 to nothing Bengals on top.

((Oscar Belvin Blake, Junior celebrated 18 years last Friday. Known by most as simply O.B., the senior quarterback has never lost to Amherst. In a matchup that pitted the state's 9th and 10th ranked teams, Blake passed for 107 yards, which included a 61 yard toss to Damien Dobbins, and a crucial third down conversion on the game winning drive. Not bad for an option team that goes to the air, on average, only about 5 times per game.
O.B. Chris:
Blake took part in every play against the Lancers, with the exception of Liberty kickoffs and punts. His defensive prowess was a lifesaver for the Minutemen. Blake recovered two Amherst fumbles inside the five yard line, and picked off a pass early in the fourth quarter.
O.B. Travis: O.B. Chris:
At 5-10, 175 pounds, Blake will most likely earn his keep as a defensive back and kick returner in college. In Bedford, Travis Wells, Friday Football Extra.))
