· Millbrook at Briar Woods 7:30 p.m. tomorrow
When the Falcons and Pioneers square off in tomorrow's season opener in Ashburn, it will be the third time they have faced off in 12 months. Last season's two meetings, however, were stark contrasts. Briar Woods hammered Millbrook 40-14 in week two, relying on a rushing attack that exploded for 230 yards on 35 carries and three touchdowns. But in their regional playoff rematch, the Pioneers kept the Falcons' offense in check, scoring late to capture a 27-24 victory. With the Falcons breaking in junior quarterback Austin Fratelli, another heavy dose of the ground game is expected. Senior running back J.T. Bailey can go inside and outside, and junior fullback Billy McDonald, who accounted for all four Falcons rushing touchdowns against Millbrook last season, likes to pound it in from close range.
· Broad Run at Wakefield 7:30 p.m. today
In Broad Run, the Wakefield Warriors see a model of a program they aspire to emulate: an experienced, hard-nosed group whose players know how to win football games. Unfortunately for second-year coach Keith Powell, the Warriors aren't quite there. The Spartans should roll behind their quick, powerful running game while senior quarterback Chris Jessop gets settled in as the full-time starter.
