Good evening everybody and welcome to the final night of the regular season here at Friday Football Extra.
Kick back, throw a log on the fire and relax for the next 30 minutes as we attempt to entertain and crown a few district champs along the way.
[graphic=ph/fleming]

We begin in the Roanoke Valley district, where after a 3-and-3 start to the season, the Fleming Colonels rebounded admirably to reel off four straight wins and successfully defend its share of the district crown.
(------------)
[VO-NAT]
[SUPER=51-Roanoke/Patrick Henry vs. William Fleming; :00]

But tonight Patrick Henry would try to spoil Fleming's chances at owning the district crown outright.
The Colonels would have none of that, though, as Wezzley Brown takes a two yard trot into the end zone for the games first score.
Patrick Henry can't handle the kick off, the ball squirts out of Antonio Dudley's hands and Fleming takes over at the Patriot 17 yard line.
[super=52-William Fleming/14/Patrick Henry/0;]

Fleming capitalizes on the turnover with Cody Wade's 10 yard T-D pass to Devon Turner and goes on win the game 14-to-nothing and become the only undefeated team in the R-V-D.

You may be wondering why we would make our second stop of the night at the Cave Spring-Pulaski game.
But this game has historical significance.
The Cougars reign as seven time defending district champs ended tonight with Fleming's win.
Pulaski had won 14 RVD title in the past 20 years. Plus, the Cougars will miss the playoffs next week for just the 3 rd time in two decades.

[SUPER=51-Roanoke Co./Pulaski Co. vs. Cave Spring; :00]

But some things never change! Head Coach Joel Hicks staying true to form tonight as he shows up at Cave Spring wearing his trademark shorts.
The Knights tried to chill him even more than the temperature as Brad Nichols takes the pitch and breaks it to the left side and takes advantage of some great blocking to move the ball to the 2 yard line.
Two plays later, it's Nichols again - this time off the right side and Cave Spring has a 6-to-nothing lead.
But once Pulaski finally got the ball the Cougars went on a tear with Kwasi Scott blasting through the right side and into the house to give Pulaski a 7-to-6 lead.
In the second quarter from the 18, Travis Roop rolls out on the screen and dumps the pass to Brandon Miller.
[super=52-Pulaski Co./48/Cave Spring/18;]
He scores on the nice play and Pulaski County goes on hammer the Knights 48 to 18.
The Cougars finish the season at 6-and-4.

The final showdown in the wild west was staged tonight at City Stadium the site of so many memorable Western district wars in the past.
Tonight Glass squared off against powerful Amherst County.
(------------)
[VO-NAT]
[SUPER=51-Lynchburg/Amherst Co. vs. E.C. Glass; :00]

Historic City Stadium was filled to the brim tonight.
We pick it up with Glass up 7-to-6 in the second but Amherst on the move. Senica Sandidge sprints around the left end and gets in the house. It's 14-to-7 after the two point conversion.
Still in the second, Glass would attempt to comeback in the air. John Robinson pitches to Brian Horsely who rumbles 40 yards into Amherst territory. But the Lancers would rise up as it has all season and drive would stall.
Amherst would finish off the Toppers in the fourth with Chris Carpenter's 66 yard TD run.
[super=52-Amherst Co./21/E.C. Glass/7;]

The Lancers complete a perfect 10-and-0 regular season and win the western district outright with tonight's 21-to-7 win.

I got your entertainment! Check out this fan who obviously forget to watch Robin Reed's forecast tonight at six.
Hey what do you expect with a full moon shining over Salem.
The Spartans open the third witha huge lead and a little bit of fun as JR Andrews takes the kickoff from the 18 to the 30, and then says here you take it Trey.
And Trey Shiflett throws on move on the Cats and completes the 80 yard TD return. Rest assured it was not in the Spartans' playbook!

Late in the period, Alleghany got rolling as Terrell Givens went untouched up the middle. He scores from four yards out. It's 12-to-10 Alleghany.
Christiansburg's Marcus Milburn would show off his boot to put the Demons back on front with this 46 yard field goal through the night air. It's 13-to-12 Demons.
Early in the fourth, Givens would swing the pendulum back in Alleghany's favor with a 64 yard touchdown run down the left sideline. It's now 18-to-13 Alleghany.

[VO-NAT]
[SUPER=51-Blacksburg/William Byrd vs. Blacksburg; :00]

Byrd's O.J. Thomason came into the game needing 281 yards to top the 2000 yard mark for the season.
He had 125 in the first half and in the third he adds more to his total with a 35 yard run up the middle for six. The Terriers take a 28-to-7 lead.
The Indians would try to stay close with a beautiful swing pass to Derrick Graham from Derrick Ratcliff. It's goes for a score and it's now 28-to-13.
But Byrd was unstoppable tonight as Kenis Maciel does his William Perry impersonation. The "fridge"

In the third, the Cavs had a 21-to-14 lead. But the Vikings had the ball. Brad McCrady keeps on the delay, cuts it up the middle and gets 14 yards.
The Cavs would then take their turn at scoring. From midfield Josh Aliveto hooks up with Paul Craft who picks up 20 yards on the play.
The Vikes McCrady would try to pass and he too is successful as he hooks up with Quincy Slash.
[super=52-Lord Botetourt/28/Northside/14;]

[VO-NAT]
[SUPER=51-Martinsville/Patrick Co. vs. Martinsville; :00]

Taylor Edwards and his unbeaten Bulldogs were hoping to complete a perfect regular season and clinch the Piedmont outright tonight.
His main man Marcus Hairston would try his best to make short work of the Cougars has he takes off and turns the handoff into a 50 yard touchdown run to put the Dogs in front 7-to-nothing.
On their next possesion, Danny Wade gives to B.J. Penn, who picks up 30 yards, but the Dogs would not finds the endzone on this drive.
In the second quarter, Patrick County would be forced to punt - Martinsville's Dante Brown fields it,

Huddling up was the key activity tonight in the Floyd both on the field and in the stands. Even our photographer Sam Doyle got in on the action.
They needed some of that heat in the first quarter as turnovers kept the game scoreless.
But on the firts play of the second quarter, Grayson County's Brandon Smith breaks into the open field and scrambles 51 yards for the score. It's 6-to-nothing.
On the first play of the ensuing kickoff, Floyd County's Josh Spence takes the pitch from Adam Gardner and he will just flat out motor past everyone to give Floyd a 7-to-6 lead.
Grayson would regain the lead when Chad Brown took the rock in the house from 32 yards away on this tough run. The back and fourth affair puts Grayson in front 14-to-7.
But two plays after the kickoff - Spence would get Floyd within one point on this 41 yard scamper down the left side as he gets his second TD of the night. It's 14-to-13 Grayson.
But Floyd and Spence would put an end to the back and forth non-sense as he gets the third of his four TDs on the night.
[super=52-Grayson Co./14/Floyd Co./43;]

[VO-NAT]
[SUPER=51-Pearisburg/Shawsville vs. Giles; :00]

The Spartan cheerleaders were doing their best to warm up the crowd on this chilly night.
The Giles players didn't do a bad job of warming up the night on the field as Micah Steele goes in from two yards away on the early keeper and it's 8-to-nothing.
But the Shawnees, who have been a good offensive team all season answered right back. Brian Caswell finds a hole over the right side and he's is going 71 yards into the house for the TD. The lead is cut to 8-to-6.
But Giles would retaliate out of the single wing five plays later with the man of Steele rambling in

A crisp, clear night in Highlander Heaven as Covington and Glenvar tried to keep the clock out of play tonight.
Covington would get things smoking in the first as Antonio Hill rumbles down the right sideline, withstands a few hits and takes it 72 yards to the 10.
Three plays later, on third and goal - Hill goes to his left and turns into the endzone for the Cougars' first score of the night. It's 7-to-nothing.
Glenvar had trouble moving the ball most of the first half. Seth Noonkester throws one down the field

After a fourth down stop deep in their own territory the Blues would let Williams do it again. This time the junior tailback charges through the Chargers for a 90 yard blast. It's now 12 to nothing Parry McCluer and we're still in the first.
The Blues would then try their luck through the air. This 33 yard touchdown pass to Williams from Chad
