Week 4
Week 5
Week 6
Week 7

Week 8
Week 9
Week 10

Week 11 Top 10 Plays

Hon. Mention — Roland Roll Out

In the first quarter at Madison, Warhawk senior quarterback Eric Roland takes off on a designed roll out and dives for the pylon for an 11-yard touchdown run.

Hon. Mention — Angus Stakes Claim
In the first quarter at Madison, Eagle senior running back Angus Harper takes a weakside handoff, bounces against the flow of play and gets the corner for a 3-yard score that covered 30 yards.

Hon. Mention — Braden from Carson, Daily
Chantilly senior receiver Braden Voorhies skies for a 26-yard, juggling reception from quarterback Carson Romine over a Robinson defender, sparking the Chargers’ only scoring drive in their 10-7 loss to the Rams.

Hon. Mention — Sesay Pickle
Hayfield junior Hashim Sesay pulls down an athletic interception late in the first half at Yorktown. With the Patriots’ receiver suddenly acting as a defender, Sesay fends him off and pins the ball to his facemask for the pick and touchback.

No. 10 — End Zone Beckons Bechert
Early in the fourth quarter against Lake Braddock, Fairfax senior quarterback Jack Bechert dances around the pocket, eludes pressure and helicopters into the end zone between two defenders for an athletic, 3rd-and-goal touchdown run.
 
No. 9Sesay Hit Stick
Yorktown was driving in the first quarter, but faced a 3rd-and-9 at Hayfield’s 12-yard line. The Patriots appeared to have a touchdown, but Hawk junior Hashim Sesay had other plans as the ball reached the receiver. Sesay lowered his shoulder, cracked the Yorktown intended receiver and forced an incompletion, preserving Hayfield’s lead. The Patriots’ ensuing field goal attempt was blocked.
 
No. 8– Impressive INTs
The Lowe Down

In the third quarter of a two-score game against Lake Braddock, Fairfax senior defensive end Richard Lowe swats a pass attempt straight into the air, pivots and plucks the ball in one fluid motion for an interception and a 17-yard return. The Rebels’ upset bid fell short, though, 19-14.

How Sweet it Is

Westfield senior Ryan Sweet blows up South County’s attempt at a bubble screen, shoving the blocker into the intended receiver. Beyond that, the pass deflects off the blocker’s back and Sweet had the presence of mind to secure an interception.
 
No. 7Cougars Flick Fleas
With minutes remaining it his season, Oakton coach Joe Thompson reached deep into the bag of tricks. Cougar junior quarterback Jimmy Boone, junior running back Luke Willis and senior Matt Chandler pulled off a perfect flea-flicker, as Boone hit Willis for a 46-yard score.
 
No. 6 — Bulldog Bite
Westfield sophomore running back Kendall Anderson bounces off-tackle weakside and flattens a South County defensive back at the goal line. This 18-yard touchdown sparked Anderson to a four-carry, 54-yard night.

No. 5Cougar Case of the Mondays
Woodson junior Tyler Monday fields this Oakton punt on the hop and heads toward the home sideline. In turning the corner, Monday gets leveling blocks from seniors Charles Basil, Patrick Bulger and Betrand Ngampa, springing a 36-yard return. (**Second most watched clip of the week!!)
 
No. 4– QB Theft
Picks Pence, None the Richer

Madison senior defensive tackle Charlie Pence pops the ball from the hand of the Edison quarterback and senior defensive end Kevin Sampson grabs it out of the air, earning the Warhawks possession at the Eagles’ 5-yard line. Madison avenged its last two playoff eliminations, defeating postseason-rival Edison, 31-10.

Greeting Card’illo

Yorktown senior linebacker Erik Cardillo gets to Hayfield’s quarterback on a blitz and plucks the ball from his hand — mid-release — resulting in a recorded sack, fumble forced and fumble recovery.
 
No. 3Marshall Law Nazrul’es Pats
Yorktown marched 54 yards on the opening drive of its quarterfinal against Hayfield, but had to settle for a would-be 20-yard field goal. Hawk junior linebacker Justin Marshall had other plans, though, blocking the kick, allowing senior Nazrul Islam to scoop the loose ball and head 84 yards for the first of five first-half Hayfield touchdowns. The Hawks won their first playoff game in 16 years, 34-6. (**Most watched clip of the week!!)
 
No. 2Stoked
As time expired for halftime, Woodson senior Connor Reilly dumped a pass over the middle to sophomore tailback Jonathan Stokes. Stokes bounced off two defenders, got the corner and headed to the end zone for a 22-yard, buzzer-beating score. The touchdown doubled the Cavs’ lead, allowing them to coast to a 31-16, first-round win.
 
No. 1Me, Myself and Iyebote
As time expired for halftime, South County senior quarterback Aaron Andrews launched an end-zone-bound pass to junior receiver Oniyemi Iyebote with Westfield defensive backs looming. Iyebote pulled down the 28-yard touchdown pass to cap a 50-point first half. It also proved the game-winning score as South County beat Westfield, 27-23, for the only road win of the quarterfinal round.

Week 10 Top 10 Plays

Hon. Mention — Nebrich Running 4 x 400

Lake Braddock junior — and Patriot District Offensive Player of the Year — Michael Nebrich ran for four scores on the same night he threw for 400 yards against rival West Springfield.

Hon. Mention — Hughes Caps Breakout Season
Falls Church senior Marcus Hughes rushed for over 1,800 yards this year. This pinballing, 39-yard run against Stuart capped his dream season.
 
Hon. Mention — Price Gets Right
South Lakes junior Sean Price skies for a 16-yard, sideline grab even with defensive pass interference at Stone Bridge Friday.

Hon. Mention — Flair Jordan

Yorktown sophomore Jordan Smith reads this bubble screen by Washington-Lee to perfection, jumps the pass and returns it 20 yards for a touchdown late in the first quarter Friday.

Hon. Mention — UnMask’ed

Oakton sophomore Tuck Masker catches junior quarterback Jimmy Boone in open space with a second-quarter pass, shakes a defender to the ground and goes 20 yards for a touchdown.

Hon. Mention — Rigans Weekly Appearance

Hayfield had a handful of highlight-reel touchdowns in its win at Edison Friday, including this 15-yard scamper by senior Rayshawn Rigans as part of 28 straight points by the Hawks.

No. 10 — Davis Wins for Winless
Wakefield junior Terry Davis goes 9 yards for the game-winning touchdown at Mount Vernon with 1:53 remaining, lifting the Warriors to their first win, 34-29.
 
No. 9Hold the Salimi
Creativity turned to disaster for Stuart on this screen pass as the receiver tossed it back to the quarterback, who was forced into the end zone. Falls Church senior Kyle Ruttkay applied the pressure, forcing a desperation heave that junior Ali Salimi intercepted at the 1-yard line for a bizarre touchdown.
 
No. 8McCallum Broken Play Improv
Twice, Hayfield senior Anton McCallum experienced miscommunication with his offensive backfield on red-zone triple options and twice he turned broken plays into touchdowns.
 
No. 7Highlanders Make Stand
In overtime of the Rotary Cup game, Langley elects to go for two points and the win after the should-be game-tying touchdown at McLean. The Highlanders, though, led by senior Riley Beiro and junior Thomas Overby, blow up the two-point try lifting McLean to the win and into the playoffs.
 
No. 6 — Greatest Hits
Hughes Lowers Shoulder
Falls Church senior Marcus Hughes lays out the Stuart running back in the Jaguars’ 42-20 win in the Bell Game.

Nubong Ding Dong
Lake Braddock senior defensive back Peres Nubong derails a West Springfield pass attempt, flattening the receiver in the first quarter of the Bruins’ 42-13 road win.

Ozycz’ Doty Deeds
Herndon senior quarterback Zack Ozycz is also the up-man on punt protect. He laid into the would-be punt-blocker in the second quarter of the Hornets’ 30-10 road loss to the Bulldogs Friday.

No. 5Rositano Blind TD Catch
With a South Lakes defensive back face-guarding, Stone Bridge junior Spenser Rositano somehow caught this 34-yard touchdown pass from junior Kyle Gouveia. The Bulldogs beat the Seahawks, 45-22, to lock up their fifth Liberty District title in as many seasons.
 
No. 4Harper Sideline-to-Sideline TD
Edison senior Angus Harper took this weakside pitch from the far sideline to the near, covering 61 yards and crossing the path of nearly every Hayfield defender. Still, the Eagles fell to the Hawks, 28-21, and into a three-way tie for second in the National District.
 
No. 3Sheriff of Nottingham
Yorktown seniors Sam Nottingham and C.J. Bartholomew linked up for an 11-yard touchdown with :09 seconds left before halftime, stretching the Patriots’ lead to 21-10 at the half. The Generals have not won in this series since 1982.
 
No. 2Kiffe Toe-Tap TD
Langley senior tight end Joey Kiffe pulled down this 12-yard touchdown pass from junior Braden Anderson, tapping both feet in-bounds, though he needed just one. Still, the Saxons fell to the Highlanders, 35-34, in overtime.
 
No. 1Riled Up
Robinson senior Connor Riley gained nearly one-fourth of his yards for the season at Centreville in Week 10. On just seven carries, Riley rolled up 305 yards and four touchdowns. His first two carries went for 179 yards and two scores, raising his yards per carry for the season from 5.97 to 7.05. He ran for scores of 94, 85, 50 and 55 yards Friday.

Football: Langley at McLean Preview

By Phil Murphy

Senior Multimedia/Content Manager, Washington D.C. Metro Area

**Click here for previews from games around the Northern Region in Week 10!!**

Langley (4-5, 3-3) at McLean (5-4, 3-3)
PowerPoint Ranking: Langley – 12th (Div. 6); McLean – 8th (Div. 5)
Offensive Rank (ppg in Division): Langley – 13th (18.6); McLean – 4th (26.4)
Defensive Rank (ppg in Division): Langley – 10th (20.7); McLean – T8th (23.7)
Last Week: Langley won at South Lakes, 24-21; McLean lost to Stone Bridge, 38-21

Hi, Paul.

The Highlanders are a practical lock for the playoffs. With a win, they’re in.

With a loss, though, wins by Washington-Lee and five of the following seven teams eliminate McLean: Falls Church, Wilson (D.C.), Madison, Centreville, South Lakes, Dominion (Sterling, Va.) and Herndon.

If the records were disparate, I’d recommend throwing them out. Rivalry games like the Rotary Cup are fairly unpredictable.

That, except, dating back to 1998, Langley has never lost to McLean. The Saxons hold a 302-106 scoring advantage in that time, a 28-10 average margin of victory.

For McLean, senior Riley Beiro returned to form last week against one of the most talented defenses the team has faced. Beiro was the first running back to go over 100 yards against Stone Bridge this season, finishing with 27 carries for 142 yards and two touchdowns.

However, the Highlanders struggled to stop the run, allowing the Bulldogs’ feature back to hit 200 yards on 33 carries.

Langley, meanwhile, continues to improve every week. It beat South Lakes on the road, 24-21, stopping the Seahawks on 4th-and-goal in the final seconds.

Saxon junior quarterback Braden Anderson impresses. In the last five weeks, he is 53-for-104 passing for 1,002 yards with seven touchdowns and four interceptions. That’s 9.63 yards per attempt for a time period spanning half a season.

Last week was the first time Langley allowed more than 14 points in regulation since Week 2.

Edison senior running back Angus Harper carried 21 times for 109 yards and three scores in the 29-20 win at Stuart Friday, including this 21-yard, second-quarter score that left five Raiders in his wake.
 
No. 4How Great Thou Bart
On the opening kickoff, Yorktown senior athlete C.J. Bartholomew broke free for a 91-yard return touchdown. He made an impact in all three phases of Friday’s 21-3 win at Mount Vernon, adding a touchdown reception and an interception.
 
No. 3Three by Karl
Washington-Lee senior receiver — and converted quarterback — Karl Lendenmann caught five passes for 80 yards and three scores as the Generals beat the Warriors, 28-6. Any one of three plays could justify this ranking.
 
No. 2Shak Diesel
West Potomac senior outside linebacker Shakil White already swatting a pass from the defensive end position, but Lake Braddock didn’t learn. White tipped this Bruin pass attempt to himself and raced 47 yards for a pick-six to open the scoring. Lake Braddock, though, scored seven unanswered touchdowns for a 49-6 win.
 
No. 1Powers’ Powers
Madison junior fullback Ben Powers takes this trap play and is stacked up at the line by the entire Jefferson front seven. But Powers never stops pumping his legs and, like a bowling ball in slow motion, busts through every defender for a 42-yard score. The Warhawks won, 34-7.
