After a disjointed first half in which it was able to score only one touchdown, Highland Springs opened the third quarter by grinding out its first convincing drive against Hanover. In small chunks, the Springers' offense reclaimed their home turf and pulled away to a 19-10 win.
As Hermitage drove down the field to take the lead in the final seconds, the Panthers' offense became predictable in a hurry. Almost every throw went at Meadowbrook cornerback Chris Carter. It worked, and a field goal gave the Panthers a late lead -- for all of 25 seconds.
Antone Exum sang the praises of his offensive line last night. The Deep Run quarterback, while quite talented in his own right, took ample advantage of the running room made available by his front wall to rush for more than 100 yards and three touchdowns in the first half, leading his fourth-ranked Wildcats to a 42-16 victory over host Henrico.
