Good evening ladies and gentlemen and welcome to Friday Football Extra's week nine festitivies.
In the next half hour we'll showcase 30 teams from Wytheville to Martinsvile.
[graphic=fleming/cave]

But we begin the trek right here in the star city at Victory Stadium where Cave Spring and Fleming met to decide the top spot in the Roanoke Valley district.
(------------)
[VO-NAT]
[SUPER=51-Roanoke/Cave Spring vs. William Fleming;:00]

Go Colonel, Go Colonel, Go Colonel!!!
Fleming led this thing 8-to-2 at the half thanks to a six run second quarter.
But in the third, Fleming comes out smoking as Jermaine Hardy high steps it through tacklers and then turns on the juice. He goes 68 yards and the Colonels make it a 16-to-2 game.
Cave Spring would come right back at Fleming as Brad Nicholls takes the pitch, skips the run and fires the option pass to a wide open Michael Brammer. The 51 yard score tightens things up. It's 16-to-9.
But this cold night was only reserved for one "Hardy" soul.
[super=52-Cave Spring/15/William Fleming/30;]

Jermaine rips off his second 68 yard effort of the night to lead the Colonels to the 30-to-15 win.
Fleming is now 2-and-0 in the RVD and 5 and 3 overall.

The Salem Spartans, the number one team in the Super-7 and the associated Press top 10, made another statement tonight by shutting out Alleghany.
(------------)
[VO-NAT]
[SUPER=51-Salem/Alleghany vs. Salem; :00]

It was a banner night for the Spartans in more way than one!
On their second play from scrimmage, Dennis Haley bulls up the middle, and scoots right down the middle of the mainicured salem Stadium turf and takes it in for the 59 yard score.
Matt Anderson then got in to the act late in the first quarter as he spins into the endzone to make it a 13-to-nothing lead in favor of the Spartans.
10 minutes before the half Salem would pass. Andy Mullins finds a wide open J.R. Andrews.
[super=52-Alleghany/0/Salem/41;]

[VO-NAT]
[SUPER=51-Martinsville/Fieldale-Coll. vs. Martinsville; :00]

It was homecoming in the Ville tonight where they crowned not one but two queens. Takisha Mitchell on the left and Hollie Campbell both became part of royalty tonight.
Their Knights in Bulldog Red armor capped an 84 yard drive when Marcus Hairston emerged from the pack and enters the endzone after the point after kick.
Hairston would make it a 13-to-nothing game in the second quarter when he scored on this five yard run. It-13-to-nothing.
Marcus would complete the scoring trifecta with his third TD of the half when he finds this hole and gets in the zone. He finished with 172 yards and 3 scores in two quarters.
[super=52-Fieldale-Coll./0/Martinsville/48;]

The Bulldogs would compete the scoring bonanza in the first half with this TD pass from Danny Wade to Brian Niblett.
The Dogs roll to the 48-to-nothing win.

(------------)
[VO-NAT]
[SUPER=51-Appomattox/Heritage vs. Appomattox; :00]

Some cold Heritage fans made the road trip to tonight's contest armed with posters supporting their team.
Heritage would make the fans happy by opening the scoring with this 24 yard Lee Murray field goal, it's 3-to-nothing.
Appomattox would attempt to answer that kick with a score of its own as Chris Pannell gobbles up yards on the ground. But that drive would stall.
Heritage would look to make something happen with the Alex Lucy to Quentin Tanner pass play. it picks up good yardage.
[super=52-Heritage/10/Appomattox/0;]

And Heritage picks up the 10-to-0 win and improves to 7-and-1 on the season.

[graphic=c'burg-byrd]

One of the more interesting games with playoff implications was staged in Vinton tonight as Byrd welcomed once beaten Christiansburg to town.
(------------)
[VO-NAT]
[SUPER=51-Vinton/Christiansburg vs. William Byrd; :00]

County supervisor Harry Nickens was serving hotdogs tonight at the concession stand. Send a couple of chili dogs this may Harry!
The Terriers found themselves down 26-to-7 heading to the final half, but with a new attitude.
From their own 47 on a fourth down, Bo Royal keeps it out of the shotgun and takes it straight up the middle. The 53 yard touchdown makes it a 26-to-21 game still in the third.
Late in the third the Blue Demons would pad their lead with this one yard Chris Holmes leap over the pile. The Burg now has a 36-to-21 lead.
But Byrd got within 7 with 3:30 to play. And with the ball on the Demons 42, OJ Thomason breaks loose on the right side and he's going to take it all the way for the TD. We're all tied up at 36 and heading to overtime.
[super=52-Christiansburg/42/William Byrd/39/Overtime;]

In the OT Byrd got a field, but the Demons would score 6 on their last down with Holmes doing the honors.
Christiansburg wins a wild one 42-to-39 in overtime.

[WRITER=mst]
[TAPE#=FFE-6]
[GRAPHIC=ROCKBRIDGE/BOTETOURT]

Two more Blue Ridge teams who experienced very different kinds of shock last week hooked up in Daleville.
Botetourt beat Christiansburg on a last second TD pass, while Rockbridge County squandered a huge lead and lost to Blacksburg.
(------------)
[VO-NAT]
[SUPER=51-Daleville/Rockbridge Co. vs. Lord Botetourt; :00]

The Wildcats came charging into town Daleville on this brisk Botetourt night and just kept coming.
On the Cats first possession, they start warming it up as Shawn Watkins hits Daniel Hill over the middle for 17 yards.
We show you this play because it's about the only one that didn't go for a score tonight.
Watkins to Clay Hobson, and he takes the handoff up the middle for the 7-to-nothing lead in favor of the Cats.
Rockbridge County would do it again and again and again as Watkins passes to Toby Davis after getting break protection. Davis gets in for the TD.
[super=52-Rockbridge Co./6/Lord Botetourt/56;]

The Wildcats pull off the shocker of the night bombing Botetourt 56-to-6.

[GRAPHIC=tunstall/dan river]

Let's now turn our attentin to thte Dogwood district as once beaten Tunstall headed south to Ringgold tonight to tangle with the Dan River Wildcats.
(------------)
[VO-NAT]
[SUPER=51-Ringgold/Tunstall vs. Dan River; :00]

The Dan River Wildcat was doing his best his to stay warm tonight by staying motion.
The Wildcats would try to do the same as they trailed 10-to-6 in the third. Sammy Lee hands off to Anthony Witcher who takes it 35 yards for the go ahead score! BUT NO! A holding call brings it back.
And that would prove costly because on the next play, Lee fumbles the ball as he attempts to pass and Tunstall takes over.
Ken Meador thinks it should be an incompletion, but the call sticks.

[GRAPHIC=gretna/altavista]

Time now to check on the other key Dogwood district brawl tonight down in Gretna where the Hawks hooked up with Altavista.
(------------)
[VO-NAT]
[SUPER=51-Gretna/Altavista vs. Gretna; :00]

The Hawks and Colonels flipped at midfield before the opening kickoff and the Gretna took off.
Thelbert Waller hands the pill off to Brian Logan, and look his go picking up 20 yards on the carry for a Hawk first down.
Waller will get greedy and go to the air, but Altavista's main man Eric Pannell gets the pick and after some great effort to advance theball finaly gets stopped.
Altavista would return the favor, as the Hawks swoop in and block the punt and take over around midfield.
[super=52-Altavista/3/Gretna/39;]

That turnover would lead to a one yard TD plunge by Martinez Witcher. It's 7-to-nothing Hawks and Gretna wins it tonight 39-to-3

(------------)
[VO-NAT]
[SUPER=51-Ft. Chiswell/Grayson Co. vs. Ft. Chiswell; :00]

Grayson came into the contest looking to make quick work of the Pioneers.
The Blue Devisl would make their visit unwelcome in the first quarter as quarterback Robbie Phelps hands the rock off to Brandon Smith who bucks up the gut and rumbles 60 yards down the left sideline, shredding tacklers and scoring the opening TD of the evening.
Grayson would score again on its very next drive. D.J. Kyle goes untouched up the middle en route to a 21 yard touchdown pushing the lead to 13 to nothing midway in the first.
The Blue Devils would continue to pitch a fit. Brandon Smith finds the endzone on the 12 yard run.
[super=52-Grayson Co./38/Ft. Chiswell/23;]
Grayson goes on top 19-to-nothing and wins tonight 38-to-23. The Devils are 4 and 1 in the district and 7-and-1 overall.

And one quick note for you tonight from the Hogoheegee district.

[SUPER=51-Radford/Glenvar vs. Radford; :00]

Radford came into the second half with a commanding 28-to-7 lead over the Highlanders.
The Bobcats would add to their lead early in the third as Jelanie Hendricks claws his way up the middle for the four yard TD run and it's a 35-to-7 Radford game.
Glenvar would get a break midway through the third as Giovanni Morton fumbles and Robbie Atkinson jumps on the loose ball at the Radford 21.
That would set up Anthony Hackett's five yard TD run.
[super=52-Glenvar/14/Radford/42;]

[VO-NAT]
[SUPER=51-Narrows/Pochontas vs. Narrows; :00]

The Green Wave was welcomed to Ragsdale field by many young fans as they trotted in looking for another district win.
Narrows would light up the scoreboard first as Josh Blankenship takes the handoff and makes his way through the Pocahontas defense for the 18 yard score. It's 8-to-nothing.
The Indians wouldn't tolerate that outburst for long as Chris Woodard caps a five play drive with this run and we are tied at 8-all.
Narrows would get the advantage back in the second quarter. Adam Reynolds connects with Jim Hazelwood on
[super=52-Pocahontas/36/Narrows/28;]

Pearisburg was the site of tonight's border war between thet Spartans and the visitors from James Monroe in West Virginia.
(------------)
[VO-NAT]
[SUPER=51-Pearisburg/James Monroe, WV vs. Giles; :00]

The Mavericks of James Monroe took the short ride down route 219 where and made an abrupt stop at Spartan field.
The folks at Giles wish they would have kept going.
Giles trailed 14-to-nothing in the third before Richard Hodge capped a 13 play single wing spectacular and chopped the lead to 14-to-8.
But the Mavs would turn on the offense one more time as Matt Ballangee goes 40 yard in two plays and elevates the Mavericks to a 21-to-8 advantage.
James Monroe would add another three in the third quarter. Paul King nails the 24 yard field goal.
[super=52-James Monroe, WV/38/Giles/14;]

[VO-NAT]
[SUPER=51-Lynchburg/North Cross vs. LCA;:00]

LCA was on top 21-to-14 at halftime and Kyle Alexander was trying to make sure his Bulldogs maintained that lead.
The Dawgs would do just that as Steve Walker dashes to the right side and scores from nine yards out. It's 29-to-14 Lynchburg Christian in the third.
Early in the fourth, North Cross would get back in the game with Matt Stover plunging in. It's 29-to-26 as the LCA lead is cut to 3.
But the Dawgs would ice it on Nick Baker's scramble.
