Football playoffs | Smithsburg stuns Mountain Ridge, Boonsboro rolls

Four Washington County high school football teams played in region second-round playoff games on Friday, Nov. 13, hoping to earn a spot in next week's MPSSAA state quarterfinals. Here's what happened: 1A West second round: Smithsburg 10, Mountain Ridge 7 Zach Linn scored on a 36-yard run early in the fourth quarter to give the No. 2-seed and host Leopards the lead, and Smithsburg (8-2) made a final defensive stand to defeat the No. 3 Miners (7-4) and earn its first playoff victory in 22 years. "Today's one of those good days to be the head coach at Smithsburg," said Leopards coach David Lawrence. "We were able to keep the ball away from them, slow the game down, possess the ball and grind it out. I'm ecstatic for the kids and for Smithsburg." "I don't think many people gave us a chance to win. I told the kids, 'You've got to believe in yourself and each other.' ... This is big. It's a great accomplishment." Walker Clark's 35-yard field goal gave Smithsburg a 3-0 lead in the second quarter. Jaxon Dodson had an interception and Smithsburg forced a turnover on downs in its red zone to pitch a shutout in

Gar-Field football wins first playoff game since 2007

It was a field storm 19 years in the making. Woodbridge lined up for a 28-yard field goal attempt from the left hash with a second to go in Friday’s Class 6 Region B quarterfinal against Gar-Field. If it went through, the Vikings would force overtime to complete a stunning rally from a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit. If not, the Red Wolves would walk away with a generational triumph in an upset on their hated, ancient rivals’ own turf. The horn sounded and the kick sailed wide left simultaneously, a signal for the ensuing wave of white-and-red delirium to charge onto A.T. Howard Field. Fifth-seeded Gar-Field secured its first playoff victory since 2007 with a 17-14 win at No. 4 Woodbridge to eliminate last year’s regional runner-up, and will travel to top-seeded Colonial Forge Nov. 20 for a spot in the regional final. At 9-2, the Red Wolves have won their most games in a season since they also went 9-2 in 2001.
