We have 11 games for you tonight in Divisions one through six.
SS=M.VISTA/M'VILLE

And we begin down in Henry County where the Magna Vista Warriors picked themselves off the ground after last week's loss to Bassett and returned home to host rival Martinsville in the Region 4, division 3 semi-finals.

SUPER=51-Ridgeway/Martinsville vs. Magna Vista; :00

The Magna Vista cheerleaders found a way into our hearts and onto your TV screen tonight with their artistic banner. Yes, we are capable of stooping to such levels.
After a scoreless first quarter, Magna Vista would mount a drive from their own 30, with Travis Preston capping it off with a four yard to make it 8-to-nothing.
Martinsville would attempt to come back with this halfback option pass from Manteelo Venable to Leander Preston for 2o yards deep into Magna Vista territory but they would come up empty.
Magna Vista would open the second half with number 40 Ceron Penn scoring on another run in tight to push the score to 14 to nothing.
SUPER=52-Martinsville/0/Magna Vista/22;

Preston would close out the scoring in the fourth, with this four yard run to make the final 22-to-nothing as Bulldogs get ready for basketball season and the Warriors move on to battle gate City.

The Bassett Bengals earned their way into the playoffs by beating the Warriors last week, but tonight they had to travel over 250 miles to play powerful Gate City.
Just how powerful you ask? The Blue Devils beat the Bengals tonight 44-to-nothing to end Bassett's season and set up a Magna Vista-Gate CIty showdown for next week.

In Region 3, Division 3 semi-final action we need to head down to Campbell County where the Brookville Bees hooked up with seminole rival Appomattox.
(----------------)
VO-NAT eng#
SUPER=51-Campbell Co./Appomattox vs. Brookville; :00

Warming up took on a whole new meaning at Stinger stadium tonight as the Bees looked to duplicate their regular season win over the Raiders.
Again tonight, the "Bee-FENSE" would step up and play huge as Michael Barr picks off this Patrick Richardson pass and returning it all the way to the Appomattox 27.
From there number 34, Edwin Brown gets loose outside and he goes 25 yards to the Appomattox two yard line.
The Bees offense line then gave Peter Givens an escort into the endzone as the Bees grabbed a 7-to-nothing lead.
Brookville would take a 14 to nothing before Appomattox got a break as Givens fumbles on the Bees 31, Appomattox recovers and takes 15 more yards on the unsportsmanlike call.
That's when my man Forest Moore --
SUPER=52-Appomattox/14/Brookville/27;
"Run Forest Run" -- rumbles in from the four to cut the lead to 14-to-7. But Brookville wins it 27 to 14.

SUPER=51-Naruna/J.Forest vs. Wm. Campbell;:00

Christmas came early to Naruna this year - Bob Christmas that is, as his Jefferson Forest Cavaliers looked to advance.
But their would be no presents under the tree this year for the Generals.
After trailing 14-to-nothing Jefferson Forest had rallied for a 16-to-14 heading to the final period when number 85 Damien Buchanan took this Jerton Evans handoff and bumped and bruised his way free and into the clear for a 43 yard touchdown romp.
Evans would then pitch to NIck Mistreta for the two point conversion and the Cavs were on top 24-to-14.
Late in the fourth, Dominique Dews would attempt to engineer a comeback with the pass to Ty Poe, who fights his way for a first down.
SUPER=52-Jefferson Forest/24/William Campbell/14;

But Evans would turn into a defensive star as well and pick off this Dews pass to seal the win as the Cavaliers move on with a 24-to-14 win.

On the Blues first possession of the game, from their own 37, Donald Schlay drops back and finds Brian Langhorne wide open across the middle for the 47 yard gain down the Bland 15.
The Blues would get in with Jeremiah Brackenbraugh diving in for the score and a 7-to-nothing lead.
But late in the second quarter Bland County would come alive with Jason Hancock taking off on the fake reverse and picking up 19 yards down to the Blues 22.
A couple of plays later, J.B. Lambert scores from 11 yards out as he dashes and dances his way in to make it 7-to-6 Blues.

(----------------)
VO-NAT eng#

It was so cold in Rural Retreat tonight that even the Indians needed one of modern man's conveniences to warm up.
Pocahontas would look to strike early in the first quarter as quarterback Scott Thompson hooks up with Randy Shupe on this 43 yard pick up deep into Rural Retreat territory.
But the Indians would hold and take over with former Friday Football Extra player of the week Gene Fields, runs the field for 14 yards to put Dean Rhea's team in scoring position.

The Rebels would try to supply their own heat, when return man Brandon Turner takes the ensuing kickoff 75 yards to the Spartans 1 yard line.
Two plays later Jeremiah Eskridge goes in from the half yard line to tie it at 7-all.
Giles would answer that with a 69 yard drive of its own. Chris Hutchinson gets 14 yards on this play to set up the go ahead score.
As Giles converts a fourth and two from the four with Chris Ratcliffe getting in to make it 14-to-7.
