Good evening everybody and welcome to Friday Football Extra, which for the
second time this year is more like Robin Reed's Weather School.

After dealing with Hurricane Fran back on September 6th, tonight we have the
honor of dodging high winds and heavy rains, and a 25 county Tornado watch
caused by a wicked cold front.
SS=GLASS/DANVILLE
A number of the night's marquee games were literally blown away including the
Western district war between Glass and George Washington,

And the PIedmont battle of unbeatens involving the number 3 and 4 teams in
our Super Seven, Martinsville and Magna Vista.

Brookville and Jefferson Forest were also primed for a showdown in the
Seminole tonight, but MOther Nature had other plans.
A disappointed Jefferson Forest coach Bob Christmas surveyed the damage to
Cavalier field after the decision was made to call off the game around seven.
But his main concern is that his troops maintain their focus for Saturday
night.

(----------------)
VO-NAT eng#
SUPER=51-Daleville/Christiansburg vs. Lord Botetourt; :00
On this breezy night in Botetourt we begin with Jamie Gilliland being named
Homecoming King and Ashley George this year's Queen at midfield.
We pick up action in the third with the happy homecoming already in high
gear. Christiansburg quarterback Matt Wright calls Eric Schumucker's number
and he takes it up the middle, breaks tackles and cuts into the clear for the
44 yard score. But Botetourt still leads it 26-to-6.
Late in the third, the Cavs would mount a 99 and a half yard drive in 10
plays capped by Seth Myers pass to Jamie Connors in the flat. He does the rest
going 60 yards for the score as Botetourt makes it 33-to-6.
SUPER=52-Christiansburg/12/Lord Botetourt/40;
What would a Botetourt set of highlights be without Wesley Cox? He takes the
handoff from 18 yards out and does his thing, diving over for the score as Lord
Botetourt improves to 6-and-1 with the 40-to-12 win.

After upsetting Salem last week, William Byrd was back in action tonight
looking for some consistency and a win as the Terriers took on Alleghany in Low
Moor.
(----------------)
VO-NAT ENG#
SUPER=51-Low Moor/William Byrd vs. Alleghany; :00
The wind chill was a factor in Low Moor as the Alleghany fans huddled and the
Byrd fans bundled up.
But the coaches were not immune to the elements as Terrier assistant coach
Fred Wagner used plastic bags as gloves and a poncho as a sleeveless jacket!
But the wind wasn't the only thing howling at Mountaineer stadium as freshman
running back O.J. Thomason would run wild accounting for 231 yards of Byrd's
292 yards of offense.
He would nine yards down the right side on this play setting up number 33
Daniel Wagner, who scores on the very SUPER=52-William Byrd/24/Alleghany/13;
next play from 4 yards out.
Thomason would then make it in on the 2 point conversion and Byrd wins its
second straight 24-to-13.

SUPER=51-Rockbridge/Blacksburg vs. Rockbridge Co.; :00
Jamie Talbott offered some last minutes words of encouragement to his team as
it got ready to take on the Indians.
Midway through the first, the Indians take advantage of a turnover as Tommy
LeForce hits a wide open Bobby Graham in the endzone on the 13 yard TD pass to
make it 6-to-nothing.
Rockbridge would answer that with some aerial artistry of its own as Travis
Clark finds a double covered Matt Pierce for a 30 yard gain.
But another Wildcat turnover killed the drive and Blacksburg
SUPER=52-Blacksburg/37/Rockbridge Co./0;
breaks out and breaks bad with a
37 to 0 win over Rockbridge, which just two weeks ago was unbeaten in district

Welcome back to Friday Football Extra as we now prepare to check out the
limited amount of Triple-A action taking place on Week 8.
SS=pulaski/fleming
Let's begin where mother nature rarely interferes with the happenings on
FRiday night's in the Fall - Kenneth Dobson stadium in Pulaski, where the
Cougars entertained Fleming.
(----------------)
VO-NAT eng#
SUPER=51-Pulaski Co./Wm. Fleming vs. Pulaski Co.; :00
Fleming boss George "Killer" Miller warmed up his team to get ready for the
second half in this one.
But Pulaski would build on its 25-to-8 lead early in the third as Craig Hodge
gallops in from 51 yards out to put the Cougars comfortably in front at
32-to-8.
Fleming would turn to the air, but Craig Hodge would continue to play head
and shoulders above the competition as he had all season with the interception
and the return to the Fleming 49.
Hodge would then turn the TD into another big score as he turns on the juice
and gets into the zone from 32 yards out to make it 39-to-8.
SUPER=52-William Fleming/14/Pulaski Co./39;
The Colonels would get this one yard Jamare Gill score late in the game, but
it was only cosmetic as the Cougars move to 2-and-0 in the RVD with the
39-to-14 win.

VO-NAT ENG#
SUPER=51-Roanoke/Cave Spring vs. Patrick Henry; :00
The Patriots came into Victory Stadium tonight like tropical storm Lillie to
joust with the Knight on a water logged field.
On the very first play from scrimmage the Pats would hit the ground running
as Dennis Dunnaville keeps through the middle and down the line before he's
brought down 54 yards later.
A couple of plays later, Dunnaville calls on James HIckenbotham to carry the
mail in from 10 yards out to put the Patriots in front to stay.
SUPER=52-Cave Spring/13/Patrick Henry/35;
Patrick Henry would keep the ball on the ground as Shawn Akers goes up the
middle and squirts out 15 yards as PH has a happy homecoming with a 35-to-13
win over the Knights.

SUPER=51-Buena Vista/James River vs. Parry McCluer; :00
A muddied Camden Field wasn't enough to deter the Blues in this one.
The team long known for its ball control offense and running game, would
enjoy a 7-to-6 halftime margin.
But surprise, The Blue would go to the air midway through the third quarter
as Donald Schley finds tight end Jason Smider wide open for a seven yard TD
pass and the eventual game winning score.
James River would get back in the game and in then back out of it, as Travis
Blankenship fumbles at the goal line on this sweep and the Blues recover to
avoid the potential tie.
SUPER=52-James River/6/Parry McCluer/14;
The Knights would have one last chance to tie the game, but Blankenship is
sacked on fourth down and Parry McCluer holds on for the 14-to-6 win.

Even though a lot of rain had moved through the Highlands late this

baseball diamond took a shower.
Put the Cougars didn't have tie to watch or drink a drop of water tonight as
they took out 6 weeks of frustration on the Rockets with Grover Price moving
the ball down the field with this 20 yard gain.
Several plays later, number 86 Tracey Walker takes the pill on the reverse,
and he will pick up 14 yards down to the Rockets 27 yard line.

On the very next play John Woodzell will call on Antonie Broadnax, and he

picks up 18 yards and some nice blocking on the carry up the middle.
But on a fourth and short, Auburn's defense would step and make a big stop
as the front line and linebackers do a good job of pursuing and stopping the
sweep.

Highlanders came out in the second fired up.
