Fort Defiance football celebrates historic playoff win 24 years in the making

FORT DEFIANCE — The last time Fort Defiance football played a home playoff game, Dale Spitzer was the head coach and Vic Spotts was the defensive coordinator of a unit that gave up an average of 6.2 points a game through 12 contests. That was 2002. The group was nicknamed the "vulture defense." Spotts came up with the name, telling a reporter that 30 years earlier, in college, he petitioned the school to let the team be called the Vultures. He reasoned there were teams named after eagles and cardinals and blue jays, why not vultures? The school turned him down. "For 30 years I've carried that frustration of why not the vultures," Spotts said at the time. On Friday, Nov. 13, 24 years after Spots' vultures shut out Spotswood 38-0 to win a regional championship, the Fort Defiance defense did Spotts proud. It held Central of Woodstock to just a field goal — a curious decision by the Falcons (see, another bird name) to kick instead of go for it on fourth down late in the game trailing by three touchdowns — in a 21-3 win. The game marked the first home playoff football game for Fort Defiance since

Fitzgerald leads Riverheads; Fort gets first playoff win in 23 years

Jackson Fitzgerald ran for 156 yards and three touchdowns in Riverheads' 41-6 win over Luray in the Region 1B quarterfinals on Friday, Nov. 13. No. 2 Riverheads will host No. 3 Altavista on Nov. 20. Altavista beat No. 6 Surry County 47-0 to advance. Riverheads and Altavista met in Week 2 of the regular season with the Gladiators winning a thrilling 43-36 game in overtime. Against Luray, Riverheads finished the night with 341 yards on the ground and no passing yards. Sophomore Gage Hutton added 97 yards and a touchdown. Coach Ray Norcross said the Riverheads offensive line played really well, opening holes that the running backs ran through. Riverheads' defense kept Luray to the one late score and 187 yards, all on the ground. Luray was 1-for-7 passing but for zero yards. "They have a dream," Norcross said of his team. "Step two is next week." Norcross said he won't be satisfied until they get to where they want to be. Ultimately that's a state championship, but the coach has been doing this long enough to know that you take it one week at a time. "We have to play whoever next week," he said. "We don't worry about
