Woodbridge holds off Gar-Field to win third straight district title and 19th straight district game

It’s doubtful that many of the 61 previous regular-season matchups between Woodbridge and Gar-Field could have matched the sloppiness of Friday’s mistake-plagued contest. In the end, though, the Vikings’ defense and special teams made just enough plays to beat the Red Wolves 9-7 on their home field. Senior defensive lineman Alhaji Kamara returned a botched punt attempt 34 yards for a touchdown in the second quarter and a bad snap on another Red Wolves’ punt attempt led to a safety in Gar-Field’s next possession, giving all the points the Vikings needed to take a one-game edge in the heated rivalry series and claim the Herb Saunders Trophy. With the victory, Woodbridge won its third straight Cardinal District crown and 19th straight district game, earning the fourth seed in the Class 6, Region B playoffs in the process. The Vikings (9-1, 6-0) will play the Red Wolves (8-2, 5-1) for the second straight week next Friday in the first round of regionals. Here are the Class 6, Region B first-round football pairings Northern Virginia high school football scores for Nov. 6 “I didn’t think they were going to score on us, and they didn’t,” Woodbridge coach Jimmy Longerbeam said. “We’re really

Brooke Point’s second-half dominance overwhelms Indians in Commonwealth clash

The Brooke Point football team flexed its playoff potential on Friday night, turning a tight opening half into a 37-7 thrashing of the Stafford Indians. The Black-Hawks (9-1) got off to a rough start with penalty issues and turnovers stalling their offense. And while the Indians looked like they had finally found their footing at the end of the first half, they had absolutely no answer for the explosive Brooke Point offensive attack in the final two quarters.

Gainesville overcomes 0-3 start to become playoff contender

At this point in the season, Tre Cage sees no reason to focus on the what-ifs. Instead, he’s fixated on what’s now. And what’s now is that after starting the season 0-3, his Gainesville football team has a chance to defeat a rival for the first time and by doing so earn an automatic berth in the playoffs. For the second-year head coach, that means letting go of Battlefield’s 21-20 come-from-behind victory over the Cardinals. Or Colonial Forge blocking a Gainesville field-goal attempt with two minutes left to hold on for a 14-13 victory. Those moments are in the past. All that matters is what the Cardinals (5-4) do Friday at Patriot (5-4) in their regular-season finale. A victory puts Gainesville back in the playoffs for the first time since 2024 and ends the Pioneers’ winning streak over the Cardinals at five. Gainesville could still reach the playoffs with a loss, but a victory would mean so much more. “We’re looking to make history and beat Patriot,” Cage said. “Getting into the postseason is the cherry on top.” High school football playoff picture Top offensive performances for Oct. 30 games This Friday's schedule Woodbridge-Gar-Field rivalry features multiple storylines Gainesville has

North Stafford rebuilds after state runner-up roster exodus

Orlando Jones was working as an assistant coach at Bishop Lynch, a private school in Dallas, when he learned of a head coaching vacancy at North Stafford High School. Bishop Lynch has two junior varsity teams, a freshman program, and a varsity squad. The campus has pristine facilities, and the program has won seven Texas Association of Private and Parochial School championships. “It’s just on a bigger scale,” Jones said of Texas high school football. Still, a chance to return home to the Fredericksburg area appealed to Jones. The former standout running back and linebacker for Riverbend High School competed at Virginia Tech before transferring to Southern Methodist University and wrapping up his playing career at The Citadel. North Stafford was coming off an appearance in the 2025 Class 6 state championship game where it fell to Oscar Smith, so Jones believed there was an opportunity for success. But after the Wolverines hired Jones in June, he was already facing a challenge because high school football programs now train year-round. That challenge intensified when the North Stafford administration informed Jones that the program had lost some talented transfers. After accepting the job offer, however, Jones quickly realized the situation was
