THE COUGARS AND SPARTANS WILL TEE IT UP AGAIN FRIDAY NIGHT, WITH MORE HARDWARE ON THE LINE.

The Cavaliers of Jefferson Forest are making the most of their first playoff appearance since 1999.

  IT HASN’T BEEN A SMOOTH ROAD FOR THE PERENNIAL POWER SPARTANS, BUT THEY HEAD INTO A SEASON FINALE AT 8-1 AND PLAYING FOR A DISTRICT TITLE.

    The Terriers graduated a tremendous group of seniors a year ago—but the winning legacy they left apparently had a carryover affect.

  The Vikings have doubled their win total of last year, and are squarely in the playoff picture as the Blue Ridge District heats up.

  The Bobcats are in the thick of the playoff picture with a 5-1 record to date.

  FLOYD COUNTY TAKES ON GLENVAR FRIDAY NIGHT WITH AN UNDEFEATED RECORD AND A THREE RIVERS DISTRICT GAME ON THE LINE.

  North Cross is the 3rd ranked team in Division III of the Virginia Independent School League with a 4-1 record.

  An undefeated William Fleming squad will be battling a perennial state power in Salem. Coach Rob Senseney explains that these kids all know each other, making it an even more intense outing.

  Christiansburg and Bassett are both undefeated, and they’ll use each other as a measuring stick game before entering District play.

  The Bruins entered 2008 with very little expectations with only three starters returning, but that hasn’t stopped them from jumping out to a 2-0 start.

  The Cave Spring Knights have already matched their win total for 2007, two weeks into the young season.

  Brookville handed Amherst its first loss in 27 tries to open the 2008 season.
