Good evening one and all and welcome to the Halloween eve edition of Friday Football Extra!
In the next half hour you are certain to see things that will scare you to death.
[graphic=c'burg/salem]

The Salem defense has had a way of frightening teams this season.
The unbeaten Spartans were on the road tonight in Christiansburg looking for their sixth shutout of the year.

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

On this Halloween eve even the not so traditional cheerleaders were on hand as part of a massive corwd for this showdown.
The Blue Demons would get the party started from their own 37. William Reynolds rolls out and throws deep with a hail mary that finds John Hindle. He makes the jumping snag and then busts a move or two to complete the 63 yard scoring play. It's 7-to-nothing.
Salem would try to come back with its passing game as Andy Mullins rolls out to his left, and then throws back against the pursuit and finds Dennis Haley with the toss. He picks up 34 yards on the play.
Haley would finish the drive with some aggressive running.
[SUPER=52-Salem/43/Christiansburg/14;]

He scores on the dash and Salem moves to nine and oh and wraps up the Blues Ridge district title with the 43 to 14 win.

(------------)
[VO-NAT]
[SUPER=51-Rockbridge Co./William Byrd vs. Rockbridge Co.; :00]

The Rockbridge County Wildcats had a lot to celebrate in the first half.
Senior back Clay Hobson breaks loose on second and five on the Terrier 10 yard live. The ten yard jog gives the Wildcats the 14-to-10 lead.
The Rockbridge scoring machine continued to roll. It's Hobson again grabbing this 17 yard pass from Shawn Watkins and the Cats go up 21-to-10.
[super=52-William Byrd/46/Rockbridge Co./28;]

But William Byrd kept up the dog fight, Bo Royal finds Cory Bush alone in the end zone. The two point conversion is good and the Terriers cut the Cat lead to 21-18.

[GRAPHIC=NORTHSIDE/ALL.]

In Low Moor tonight, Alleghany looked to keep its postseason hopes alive against a Northside team that knocked off Blacksburg last week and needed a win to keep a 500 season within sight.
(------------)
[VO-NAT]
[SUPER=51-Low Moor/Northside vs. Alleghany; :00]

With his team down 12-to-7 starting the second half, coach Max Lowe and the Mounties had only small hill to climb, or so it seemed.
But getting over the hump got a little tougher as Qunicy Slash finds the endzone from 23 yards out to give the Northside Vikings a 20-to-7 lead.
Alleghany wold mount its comeback with Terrell Givens taking the pitch and scoring untouched from 10 yards out. It's now 20-to-13.
The Mounties would reach the summit when Robert Neff fielded this Blacksburg punt on his 25 yard line. He shakes and grooves and moves through the Viking defenders and eventually goes 75 yards for the score. We're now tied up at 20-all.
[super=52-Northside/20/Alleghany/26;]

Alleghany goes over the top when Shannon Johnson keeps on the option and scores the game winning TD. The Mounties win it 26-to-20.

(------------)
[VO-NAT]
[SUPER=51-Blacksburg/Lord Botetourt vs. Blacksburg; :00]

Blacksburg boss man Dave Crist was doing his best to rally his troops in the second half.
The Indians were down 21-to-7 and things got worse when Derrick Ratcliff rolled and got crushed. The ball pops out and Kevin Lyle recovers for the Cavs.
The Cavs would capitalize on the turnover as Josh Aliveto keeps on the play and shoots up the middle for the 12 yard diving TD. It's now 33-to-7.
Botetourt's Paul Craft would get the Cavs down to the one with this bruising run up the middle that levels a defender.
[super=52-Lord Botetourt/40/Blacksburg/14;]

The Cavs scored on the next play and they win it 40 to 14.

A lovely night in Henry County and a lovely crowd turned out for this one tonight.
And the home boys' Pattrick O'Brien would go to the air early and hit Winston Cole on a 30 yard touchdown, and boom just like that the Lancers are on top of the Dogs 7-to-nothing.
Then Lancers' defense would make itself known! Corey Morehead picks off the Danny Wade pass and stops another Bulldogs' drive.
Wade would manage to return the favor by picking off this O'Brien pass and returning it 15 yards to get the Dogs in scoring position.
Marcus Hairston would take care of business from

[super=52-Gretna/47/Dan River/7;]

Floyd would start the third quarter off in a big fashion. Adam Gardner calls on Scott Myers to carry thge ball throw a big hole on the right side. He will go 74 yards for the score. The Buffs are now on top 27-to-7.
Later in the third, Myers would find another opening on the left side. He picks up 25 yards this time before the Bobcat defenders can catch up.
