Oscar Smith 24
No. 8 Western Branch 21
CHESAPEAKE - Eric Dunnagan kicked a 25-yard field goal with nine seconds remaining to clinch the upset. The Bruins (3-4, 2-2) used all three of their timeouts to ice Dunnagan, but to no avail as he kicked only the second field goal of his career. Western Branch tied the score at 21-21 when Rashad Cook scored on his second touchdown of the night, a 2-yard score with 2:48 left in the game. The Bruins gained 323 yards on the ground but gave the ball up six times, three of which led to Tiger scores. William Cox had a big series early in the fourth for Oscar Smith (4-3, 2-2), intercepting a pass in the end zone and then scoring a 73-yard pass from LaVar Griffin two plays later. Western Branch's Keith Burnell led all rushers with 191 yards on 18 carries with a touchdown.

VIRGINIA BEACH - Travis Mazyck ignited the Lions' comeback with an 83-yard touchdown run with three seconds left in the third quarter. The Stallions (3-4, 3-3) took a 19-16 lead on Charles Benjumea's 3-yard run with 5:41 remaining in the third quarter. Green Run then made another move towards an upset when Barron McPherson returned an interception 41 yards to the Tallwood 29. But seven plays later, the Stallions' Larron Jones fumbled and Erik Taylor recovered at the Lions' 17. One play later Mazyck, who finished with 99 yards on four carries, bolted 83 yards and Mike Nagelin kicked the extra point for a 22-19 lead. Tallwood (6-1, 5-1) made it 25-19 when Nagelin booted his second 37-yard field goal of the game with 3:15 remaining and sealed it when Justin Ruffin returned a fumble 44 yards for another score.

No. 7 Booker T. 7
Maury 0
NORFOLK - The Bookers made Ronald Marcus' 1-yard TD run on the game's opening drive stand up the rest of the way as they set up Friday night's showdown with No. 3 Norcom for what could well be the Eastern District regular season championship. The game will be played at Booker T. The Bookers (5-2, 4-0) went 75 yards on 12 plays for the game's only touchdown. Although Booker T. outgained Maury (3-4, 1-3) by 197-100, it threatened to score on just two other occasions. An interception by Kenyuan Cornelious halted one Booker T. drive at the Commodore 12 late in the second quarter and three tackles for lost yardage and two penalties aborted another Booker drive that reached the Maury 13 in the fourth period. The Commodores, who did not register a first down until the final 35 seconds of the first half, had their best drive ended by an interception at the goal line by Kelvin Fuller midway through the third quarter. Demetrius Scott led the Booker T. running game with 88 yards on 19 carries. Duwayne Williams added 52 yards on 10 carries.

No. 9 Ocean Lakes 7
Salem 3
VIRGINIA BEACH - Jermaine Lauzon intercepted Doc Williams' lob pass to Joe Tolbert at the goal line to preserve the victory for the ninth-ranked Dolphins (5-2 overall, 4-2 in the Beach). Ocean Lakes had scored what turned out to be the winning touchdown when Walter Amos hit Christopher Sutton with a 34-yard toss with 1:29 left in the first half. Salem (3-4, 3-3) opened the second half by driving to a first and goal at the Ocean Lakes 9. But the drive stalled and Kevin Miller hit a 26-yard field goal for the final tally. Dolphins running back Sheron Joseph led all rushers with 166 yards on 18 carries. Joe Carter had 143 on 19 attempts for the Sun Devils.

Norview 20
Granby 14
NORFOLK - Eric Hines scored twice to lead Norview (4-3, 3-1) past Granby in an Eastern District game. Down 8-6, the Pilots marched 68 yards in eight plays, capped by Hines' first TD. Three plays later, Richard Griffin recovered a Granby fumble, and Hines struck again for Norview. The Pilots led 20-8 until the final four minutes of the fourth quarter when the Pilots' James Whitley mishandled a snap on a punt and grounded the ball at the Norview 1. Comets' QB Dexter Reid sneaked it over on the next play. The Comets (2-5, 1-3) had another chance when Whitley threw a lateral to David Martin (six receptions for 47 yards), who left it on the ground thinking it was an incomplete pass. The Pilots managed to retain possession, and Whitley ended the game with a 53-yard punt that pushed Granby back to its own 14.

First Colonial 21
Cox 14 (OT)
VIRGINIA BEACH - Defensive back Sokhan Om stopped Cox receiver Latane Meade inches from the goal line on fourth down in the first overtime to preserve the Patriots' first victory in four games. Lamar King's seven-yard touchdown run, his second of the game, snapped the 14-14 tie for the Patriots (4-3, 3-3). The Falcons (4-3, 3-3) then took over but lost three yards on their first three plays. Finally, on fourth-and-13, Meade caught Ashkon Razavi's pass at the 1 and lurched forward before getting drilled by Om and being denied the game-tying score. Cox' Shawn Gibbs, subbing for Leroy Ellsworth, led all rushers with 167 yards and both Falcon touchdowns. Ellsworth, who ran for 714 yards in Cox' first six games, sat out with a neck injury but said he expects to play next week.

Bayside 17
Princess Anne 14
VIRGINIA BEACH - Al Scott scored on a 73-yard pass from Larry Chapman with 2:02 left in the game as the Marlins - playing catch-up with Princess Anne most of the night - finally secured the win. Princess Anne (2-5, 2-4) staked out a 8-0 halftime lead on a safety and 1-yard run by Aaron Mitchell, who ended the game with 53 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Bayside scored on Patrick Sprull's 63-yard interception return in the third, and took a 9-8 lead on a Kevin Cherwa field goal from 30 yards. Princess Anne retook the lead for the final time on Mitchell's second scoring run with 7:48 remaining in the fourth quarter before Chapman's strike. Chapman finished with 170 yards passing.
