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
