PLAYOFF FOOTBALL FINALS

4A South Region First Round: Hanover 32, Tabb 14

Clayton Cheatham runs wild again, this time for 257 yards and four scores, including a 97-yard second half touchdown run as the #7 seeded Hawks defeated #10 Tabb. The victory, in which the Hawks led the entire game, propels Hanover into a showdown at #2 Heritage/Newport News next week. Hanover, now 8-3, has won at least one playoff game in each of the last six seasons.

5A North Region First Round: Potomac 31, Patrick Henry 28

A valiant effort in Dumfries falls just short as the Patriots' five-game winning streak, and season, both come to an end. The lead went back and forth the entire game with the Panthers taking the lead for good on a touchdown with 2:45 to play. Patrick Henry finishes 6-5, their first winning season since 2008, and though they will lose key pieces to this year's puzzle, plenty of talent returns, and Bryan Davis has a full off-season to work with them. Patrick Henry will face a much tougher regular season schedule next year moving to the Capital District, but Davis will have the Patriots ready for the challenge.

5A South Central Sub-Region First Round: L.C. Bird 34, Atlee 13

For the second year in a row, the Raiders saw their season end on a frigid night in Chester, and, for the second straight year, it was the Skyhawks rushing attack that did the Raiders in. Atlee, playing without Ricky DeBerry, couldn't stop Stephen Mines, who rushed for 244 yards and three touchdowns. Former Hanover standout Jalen Elliott completed five of eight passes for 143 yards and two scores, both to wideout Tyler Wilkins, who caught all five completions.  Loumond Dandridge was held to 22 yards on 12 carries as Atlee ended its season at 8-3, and still trying to find that signature win that would put them in the same category in Central Region lore with the likes of L.C. Bird, Hermitage, and Varina.

NEXT WEEK: 4A South Region Second Round: #7 Hanover at #2 Heritage/Newport News, Friday, Time TBA

Friday, November 14, 2014

FIRST ROUND PLAYOFF FOOTBALL SCHEDULE:

5A NORTH: #10 PATRICK HENRY (6-4) at #7 POTOMAC (5-5), 7:30pm: For the first time since November 23, 2007, the Patriots take the field in a postseason game. Once playoff staples, the Patriots clinched just their first winning season in six years with a 23-21 road win at fellow playoff team Douglas Freeman last Friday. The Panthers won three of their last four games to clinch home-field for tonight's game. Bender Vaught will need to exceed the rushing output of the Panthers' Mike Hawkins, winning the war on the line of scrimmage, while freshman quarterback Hunter Hart needs mistake-free football. The winner gets the winner of the #15 Brooke Point and #2 undefeated Massaponax next Friday.

5A SOUTH: #5 ATLEE (8-2) at #4 L.C. BIRD (8-2), 7pm: Rematch of the 2013 5A South Central Championship (5A State Quarterfinal), won by the Skyhawks 46-10 en route to their second straight state championship. Last year's game was closer than most people think, though the Raiders never had a legitimate chance to win. This season, head coach Roscoe Johnson, his staff, and returning players know exactly what to expect in Chester, how the atmosphere is, and how to plan for the cold weather. The Raiders desperately need four quarters of solid football, which has been hard to come by this season. They cannot afford, for example, the uneven performance of last week's first half against Lee-Davis. Rashard Harris needs his best game passing, turnovers must be limited, and we know the Bird defense will swarm Loumond Dandridge in order to force someone else to make big plays. Who will be the player to step up?  Winner gets the winner of #8 Meadowbrook and #1 Highland Springs.

(NOTE: Atlee at L.C. Bird can be heard LIVE on WHAN 102.9 FM and HERE on this website by clicking the link at the top of the page beginning at 6:30pm!)

4A SOUTH: #10 TABB (7-3) at #7 HANOVER (7-3), 7:30pm: Though there are many, many pieces to the puzzle of success for Hanover this season, and certainly their four-game winning streak down the stretch, one cannot help but look at the impression made by the performance of sophomore quarterback Clayton Cheatham. The only loss hung on him under center was Week 4 at Highland Springs, when, trailing 20-0 in the fourth quarter, his hand met a Springers' defender's helmet in mid-throw, causing him to miss the next two games. Hanover lost them both (Atlee, Henrico), and were 3-3 with no assurances of a ninth straight postseason appearance. Cheatham returned and the Hawks have been on a roll. Of important note, the Hawks defense is stingy, having allowed 20 points or more just twice this season, giving up just 14.2 points per game all year. Tonight, they'll have to contain senior tailback Antwuan Hicks, who averages just over 100 yards per game and can stretch the field as a receiver as well.  Winner gets the winner of #15 Churchland and #2 Heritage of Newport News next Friday.

Finally: Lee-Davis Girls Volleyball Clinches 5A State Berth....

Always the bridesmaid, never the bride.

Not anymore.

The Lee-Davis Confederates girls volleyball team are headed to the 5A State Championship Tournament by virtue of their four-set victory Wednesday night over Mills Godwin, their third win of the season over the Eagles, in the 5A South Region Semifinals at Meadowbrook High School.

It was a team effort, with Kendyll Brown setting the pace early in the middle, Rachel Gaston and Jordan Martin making their mark on the outside later after the Confederates lost their first set to the Eagles all season in set two, 25-20.

Martin told RVA Sports Network her team took the Eagles too lightly after the 25-14 set one victory, and turned up the intensity in set 3, retaking the lead with a dominant performance winning 25-11.

Then the Confederates withstood one final push by Godwin late in set four to win the match, and the berth in Tuesday's 5A State Semifinals. Lee-Davis will host the match if they win the 5A South Region Championship Thursday at 5pm against Princess Anne. If they lose, they would travel on Tuesday night.

FRIDAY FOOTBALL FINALS

Patrick Henry 23, Douglas Freeman 21: Logan Bulthuis nailed a 33-yard field goal midway through the third quarter, then the Patriots blocked a would-be game-clinching field goal as Douglas Freeman fell by two points. The Patriots have now won five in a row and are projected as the #10 seed in the 5A North playoffs, to be matched with #7 Potomac Falls next Friday night. This is the first winning regular season for Patrick Henry since 2008; Friday will be the first postseason game for the Patriots since November 23, 2007.

Atlee 63, Lee-Davis 35: The Confederates (2-8) led at intermission 21-7 thanks to converting seven of nine third downs in the first half. But the Raiders (8-2) went on a roll, with special teams leading the way. Back-to-back blocked punts led to two scores, and a Chalin Fairly interception in the end zone extended the lead. Loumond Dandridge rushed for 232 yards and four touchdowns to finish with 1,109 yards in the regular season. Atlee is projected as the #5 seed in 5A South Central and will go to #4 LC Bird in a rematch of last year's 5A South Central championship game won by the Skyhawks 46-10.

Hanover 48, Glen Allen 16: Since his return, Clayton Cheatham has led his team to four straight victories and a projected #7 seed in the 4A South Region playoffs, where they will face #10 Tabb at home next Friday. The Hawks finish 7-3, and wonder what might have been had Cheatham not been injured in their Week 4 loss to Highland Springs.

HISTORY: Atlee Clinches First-Ever Trip To State Field Hockey Tournament....

Always the bridesmaid, never the bride.

Not anymore.

The Atlee field hockey team, in their 13th season of existence, finally broke through for the first, and second, regional playoff victories in school history, the second, a 4-0 win over Manchester tonight in the 5A South Region Semifinals, clinched a trip to the State 5A Final Four November 14th in Virginia Beach.

Hayley Anna scored all four goals for Atlee (15-5), two early in the first half, then two more after intermission, goals she told RVA Sports Network were not hers, but due to team effort.

Atlee will face the winner of the Gloucester/Princess Anne match to be held Thursday night for the 5A South Region Championship Friday at 6pm at the National Training Center in Virginia Beach. They return to that location Friday, November 14th for a 10am match in the 5A State Semifinals.

Alyssa Cox said it feels amazing to hear the term "State Tournament", and felt that this, her senior year, would be a special season.
