one of last year's state champs and state runners-up butted heads with
Brookville hosting Salem.

SUPER=51-Campbell Co./Salem vs. Brookville; :00
After a scoreless first half at Stinger Stadium, Salem would draw first blood
as Matt Anderson bulls in from the four to make it 7-to-nothing Spartans.
Brookville benefitted from 7 Salem turnovers. Chris NIcholas follows the
Bees offensive line in for the score and with an earlier field goal Brookville
takes a 10-to-7 lead with four minute to go.
Salem got down to the Bees nine yard line, but Andy Mullins in sacked by
Peyton Townes for a 6 yard loss.
On the next play Mullins hits John Hancock for the apparent go-ahead score,
but Hancock is ruled out of bounds.

Early in the third, the Leemen would bobble this punt and Rockbridge's Sidney
Lott recovers on Rockbridge 26 yard line, but Lee's defense would keep them
from turning the turnover into points.
On Lee's next possesion, quarterback Jason Wright sees his pass fall into the
hands of Scott Sorrells, who returns the ball down the sideline for a 37 yard

SUPER=51-Roanoke Co./Heritage vs. Northside; :00
The Vikings lined up to meet the Pioneers head-on.
But Heritage used some deception to set up the first score of the game.
At 4th and 8 on the Viking 43 Pioneer Jonathan Meeks takes the fake punt up
the sideline for 24 yards and the first down.
Several plays later Heritage lines up for a 35 yard field goal and a 3 to

But the Vikings hadn't given up the fight and on the first play of the next

That was Northside's play of the game, because on 3rd and 5 at the Pioneer
