Record (9-0, 4-0), Last Week (1)
Last Week: Woodbridge 45, Freedom-Woodbridge 20
Next Game: Nov. 7 at Gar-Field, 7:30 p.m.
The Vikings have won three of the last five games against the Indians, including a 38-20 win over Gar-Field in the Northwest Region tournament. The Vikings, who have outscored opponents 350-86 this season, are playing for an undefeated season and momentum heading into the region tournament. The Indians, who have won the last two regular-season contest against the Vikings, are still holding out hope of sneaking into the postseason and a win against the Vikings will go a long way to help.
2. Battlefield Bobcats
Record (9-0, 6-0), Last Week (2)
Last Week: Battlefield 45, Culpeper County 0
Next Game: Nov. 7 against Loudoun Valley, p.m.
The Bobcats are on the verge of the program’s first ever undefeated regular season. A win against the 1-8 Vikings will do the trick and secure the Bobcats the No. 1 seed in the Div. 6 Northwest Region tournament.
Last Week: C.D. Hylton 17, Potomac 0
Next Game: Nov. 7 against Forest Park, 7:30 p.m.
What a difference a year makes. Last season, the Bulldogs finished out the year with a three game losing streak and finished with a program-low 3-7 record. With a win over Forest Park on Friday night, the Bulldogs will hang onto the No. 3 seed in the Div. 6 region tournament and finish with a 7-3 record. In Hylton’s first meeting with the Bruins this year (in a non-district match-up), they won easily, 42-14.
4. Osbourn Eagles
Record (5-4, 5-1), Last Week (5)
Last Week: Osbourn 48, Stonewall Jackson 21
Like the Bulldogs above, the Eagles have gone from a losing record in 2007 to on the verge of a playoff berth in 2008. Osbourn beats Osbourn Park on Friday night and they’re the No. 4 seed in the Div. 6 Northwest Region tournament. A few weeks ago, I mentioned the Eagles’ tough schedule this season. Let’s look at it again. The four teams the beat Osbourn this season have a combined record of 31-5.
5. Potomac Senior Panthers
Record (5-4, 1-3), Last Week (4)
Last Week: C.D. Hylton 17, Potomac 0
Next Game: Nov. 7 at Freedom-Woodbridge, 7:30 p.m.
As of right now, five of the eight Northwest Region playoff spots are from Prince William County. Exactly half of Prince Williams’ teams will be heading to the postseason. Three of those teams, including Potomac, hail from the Cardinal District. If all five teams end up making it in, that’s quite an accomplishment.
Record (4-5, 2-4), Last Week (6)
Last Week: Fauquier 38, Osbourn Park 17
Next Game: Nov. 7 against Osbourn, 7:30 p.m. (DigitalSports Game of the Week)
Things look grim of for the Yellow Jackets this season. After three straight losses and a tough game against Osbourn coming up, OP is going to need a lot of help to make it to the postseason this year. The future, however, looks bright for the Yellow Jackets. They have already surpassed their win total from last year and have outscored last year’s team by 40 points with one game remaining. Quite a few of their playmakers, including QB Dominique Terrell will be back next year.
Record (4-5, 2-2), Last Week (7)
Last Week: Forest Park 23, Gar-Field 14
Next Game: Nov. 7 at C.D. Hylton, 7:30 p.m.
A win over C.D. Hylton would get the Bruins back to .500 on the year and give them quite a bit of momentum heading into next year. Remember, this team is still only two years removed from a winless season.
Record (4-5, 2-5), Last Week (8)
Last Week: Forest Park 23, Gar-Field 14
Next Game: Nov. 7 against Woodbridge, 7:30 p.m.
Never underestimate the power of revenge. Last year, the Vikings knocked the Indians out of the Northwest Region playoffs. While the Indians’ chances of advancing to the postseason this year are slim, how nice would it be for Gar-Field to ruin the Vikings’ perfect season?
9. Stonewall Jackson Raiders
Record (2-7, 2-4), Last Week (9)
Last Game: Osbourn 48, Stonewall Jackson 21
Since running back Damien Thigpen returned, the Raiders have gone 2-2. In four games, Thigpen already has ten touchdowns.
10. Freedom Eagles
Record (2-7, 0-4), Last Week (10)
Last Week: Woodbridge 45, Freedom-Woodbridge 20
Next Game: Nov. 7 against Potomac, 7:30 p.m.
Building a program is a tough process, but improvement is there. The Eagles’ need just ten points against Potomac to have their best offensive season in the program’s history.
