WARREN HELPS FLOYD GRIND OUT A WIN

Jamie Warren rushed for 125 yards on 16 carries, scoring three touchdowns, as Floyd County downed Auburn 28-14 on Friday night in a meeting of football rivals in the Three Rivers District.

Peter Bucklin scored the other touchdown for the Buffaloes (2-1 overall, 1-1 in the district).

Kenny Wojiechowski scored all of the Eagles' points, running for two touchdows and kicking both extra points. Wojiechowski finished with 62 yards on 10 carries and caught three passes for 46 yards to lead Auburn (0-2, 0-1).

Christiansburg 32

Graham 28

CHRISTIANSBURG - Rocky Gravely recovered a Glenn Carlock fumble late in the fourth quarter to set up Andra Beasley's fourth touchdown and the score proved to be the difference as the Blue Demons defeated the G-Men in a non-district game.

Gravely's recovery came on a botched option play with little time left, completing a fourthquarter comeback by Christiansburg (1-2).

Beasley had 330 yards on 22 carries, and David Epperly ran for 67 yards on 14 carries for the Blue Demons.

Jacob Dews racked up 252 yards on 25 carries and scored two touchdowns to lead Graham (1-2). Carlock also rushed for two touchdowns.

Radford 28

Grayson County 0

RADFORD - The Bobcats overcame a lackluster first half to stifle the Blue Devils in a non-district game.

Larnelle Lewis, who rushed only once in the first half because of an injured finger, scored touchdowns on runs of 1 and 8 yards for Radford (2-1). Sophomore Marlon Wesley rushed for 70 yards and scored on a 21-yard run in the second quarter.

Bobcats quarterback Foster Ridpath completed seven of 13 passes for 116 yards and he completed a two-point conversion pass to Chuck Hubbard.

The Radford defense had a big night, holding Grayson County (1-2) to 118 yards total offense and 7 yards passing. The Bobcats' Elmo Dunbar recovered a fumble and returned it 15 yards for a touchdown.

Shawsville 13

Craig County 7

NEW CASTLE - The Shawnees rallied from a seven-point halftime deficit to earn their first victory of the season.

The winning touchdown came on a 1-yard touchdown run by Chris Graham in the third quarter after Shawsville (1-1) had closed to 7-6 on Patrick McBride's 18-yard fumble return.

Scott Holleman rushed for 152 yards to lead Shawsville, but it was his fumble at midfield that gave Craig County (1-2) possession with 5:25 remaining. The Shawnees' defense stiffened and finished the game with eight tackles for losses.

Carroll County 7

Galax 0

HILLSVILLE - The Cavaliers ended a defensive struggle by scoring a touchdown with 27 seconds left to beat the Maroon Tide in a non-district game.

Carroll County (1-2) recovered a fumble at midfield and needed nine plays to reach the end zone. Kevin Dalton capped the game-winning drive by scoring from 15 yards.

It was one of five turnovers in the game for the teams.

Barry Stockner rushed 24 times for 111 yards to lead the Cavaliers. Galax's record fell to 0-3.
