Week 6 Top 10 Plays
Hon. Mention — Ja’Juan’a TD?
South Lakes junior Ja’Juan Jones explodes for a 59-yard, go-ahead touchdown at Madison — it proved the game-winner — in the Seahawks first win over the Warhawks in seven years.
Hon. Mention — Hunt’ing for the End Zone
Wakefield wide receiver Aaron Hunt caught five passes for 148 yards and three scores against Falls Church Friday, none more impressive than this 52-yard touchdown grab.
Hon. Mention — Flying Solo
Chantilly senior running back Solomon Yeon drops a would-be tackler at the line of scrimmage and heads 77 yards for a go-ahead score. It proved less-than-enough as the Chargers fell, 35-21, at home.
No. 10 — Dumping Dempsey
It’s one thing when a player lowers his head to run over a tackler to get that extra yard. It’s another when said player takes out his own teammate. Woodson senior Paul Fridley saw red on this screen and accelerated through senior kinsman Colin Dempsey for a 17-yard gain. The Cavs won, 42-7, on Homecoming.
No. 9 — Rigans 27.8 Yards Per Touch
Hayfield senior Rayshawn Rigans only had seven carries, one reception and one punt return, but racked up 250 all-purpose yards in the Hawks’ 48-14 home win over the Majors.
No. 8 — T.J. Uses Whole Body for Catch
West Springfield lost, 28-16, at South County Friday, but Spartan senior receiver T.J. O’Connell provided the highlight of the night with this 28-yard, bounce-off-a-defender, ankle-tap reception with five minutes left in the fourth quarter.
No. 7 –– Another Nebrich in the Wall
Lake Braddock junior Michael Nebrich had his best showing of the season in a 28-21 win over previously unbeaten Lee Friday. This pinball 35-yard touchdown run helped the cause.
No. 6 –– Honest Abe Gets Deceptive
Langley senior tailback Abe Yi had 14 carries for 85 yards, most of which came on this disappearing act of a 52-yard touchdown trot. The Saxons beat the Congressmen, 21-7, on the road.
No. 5 –– Hughes Won’t Be Denied
Falls Church senior running back Marcus Hughes is quietly turning in one of the best seasons in the region. He has 124 carries for 940 yards and 11 touchdowns in six games. This vicious run sparked a one-point overtime win against Wakefield.
No. 4 –– Harper Four-Pack
Edison senior running back Angus Harper carried 21 times for 181 yards and four scores in a 42-10, home win over Yorktown Friday. He added one reception for 20 yards. Harper also had 181 yards and 20 receiving yards against Mount Vernon in Week 3.
No. 3 –– Rowdy Roddy
In his second week since returning from an offseason skateboarding accident, Washington-Lee senior David Roddy broke the game open with this 81-yard kickoff-return touchdown. The Generals beat the Raiders, 34-21.
No. 2 –– Ridin’ Doty is Sweet
Westfield turned in a pair of blocked-punt touchdowns in its 35-13 road win over Oakton. Bulldog senior Ryan Sweet had the first block, recovered by senior Ashton Moss in the second quarter. Senior Dylan Doty‘s rejection led to a touchdown recovery by senior wrestler Nick Grinups.
No. 1 –– Today’s Letters: T.C., Today’s Number: 6
Isreal Heads Back to the Homeland
Late in the third quarter at Annandale, T.C. Williams junior linebacker Israel Richardson turned in a 69-yard pick-six to stretch the Titans’ lead to 24-7.
Damien Good
T.C. Williams junior linebacker Damien Benton clinched the Titans’ 31-7 road win with this 50-yard interception return for a score in the fourth quarter.
