• Central 27, Strasburg 26, 2OT

10:20 p.m.: Now its Central's turn to try and hold on, as the Falcons take a 27-20 lead in the second overtime. Strasburg still has a chance to tie or win it.

10:11 p.m.: Not over yet; Central matches Strasburg's overtime touchdown to knot the score at 20-all. Second overtime coming up.

10:03 p.m.: Strasburg breaks through in OT to grab a 20-13 lead, but Central still gets a shot to tie or win it.

9:58 p.m.: Overtime! Central misses a last-second field goal and remains deadlocked at 13-13 with Strasburg at the end of regulation.

9:34 p.m.: It's going down to the wire in Strasburg, as the host Rams and Central are now tied at 13-all with 5:52 left to play.

9:33 p.m.: Sherando's Joe Ojo finally got a touchdown of his own -- and surpassed 200 yards rushing -- with a 3-yard TD run against Millbrook with 1:26 left to play. Sherando leads, 36-6.

9:25 p.m.: Sherando pushes its lead over Millbrook to 29-6 behind two familiar culprits. Tre Porter capped the drive with a 1-yard touchdown run -- his fourth of the game -- after Joe Ojo rattled off a 45-yard run during the scoring march. Ojo has 186 rushing yards so far with 5:07 left to play.

9:18 p.m.: Still no change in the Strasburg/Central game after three quarters. Rams still leading, 13-6.

Joe Ojo's 35-yard run was the big play of the drive, and Ojo already has 121 rushing yards on 19 carries for Sherando.

8:06 p.m.: Wilson Memorial leading Stonewall Jackson, 20-6, at halftime. The Generals have done little on offense since scoring a touchdown on their initial possession of the game.

6:00 p.m.: Welcome back for one more week of regular-season football. With the majority of the area's teams already assured of postseason berths, much of tonight's action centers around final positioning in the rankings. Millbrook, for one, likely needs to beat Sherando to make the Group AA, Division 3 playoff field, and a victory tonight against Warren County would erase any lingering uncertainty for Skyline. Same goes for Handley, which hosts James Wood in a Saturday matchup at 1 p.m.

Here's a look at tonight's games:

• R-MA at Bishop Walsh (Md.), 3 p.m.

• Warren County at Skyline, 7 p.m.

• Millbrook at Sherando, 7 p.m.

• Wilson Memorial at Stonewall Jackson, 7 p.m.

• William Monroe at Clarke County, 7:30 p.m.

• Central at Strasburg, 7:30 p.m.

9:42: James Wood beats Fauquier 38-23.

9:14: Stuarts Draft beats Stonewall Jackson 19-8.

9:04: Skyline has defeated Sherando 15-7. The craziness continues in the Northwestern District.

8:52: Stuarts Draft now leads 19-8 at the end of the third quarter.

8:46: Central leads Madison 10-7 at the half.

8:42: Warren County has tied the game with Kettle Run 14-14 midway through the third quarter on a Tyler Post TD run.

8:31: Thanks again Mike for the update on the Clarke County game. The Eagles up 27-7 at the half. They have a ways to go to catch up with the points in the Millbrook-Handley game, but the World Series is tied 2-2 at the end of an inning. It looks like it's going to be another slugfest tonight.

8:28: Thanks, Mike for the update. James Wood 24-10, that's a bit of a surprise. It looks like James Wood is finally coming to life this season. Sherando has tied Skyline 7-7 with 2 minutes left in the third quarter.

7:53: Kettle Run leads 7-0 at the end of the first quarter.

7:45: Millbrook now leads 3-0 with 7:35 left in the second quarter.

7:42: Upset in the making? Skyline leads Sherando 7-0 in the second quarter. Skyline had a 98-yard 20-play drive.

7:37: Handley-Millbrook is scoreless after the first quarter. I wouldn't be surprised if there more runs scored in Game 7 of the World Series than in this football game.

4:53: Welcome back for another week of high school football. There's only one more week of the regular season after this one, so things are heating up as we get down to the wire.

Among those Saturday games is a Northwestern District matchup between Skyline and Handley at the Handley Bowl for a 1 p.m. matchup. Private schools Randolph-Macon Academy and Massanutten Military Academy are both playing Saturday, as well. The Yellow Jackets host Potomac School at 3:30 p.m., while MMA hits the road to take on Sidwell Friends (D.C.) in a 2:30 p.m. game. Central is the lone area team with an off-week.

3:51: Another big night of football is upon us. Unfortunately, we will have one less game as Handley at Sherando has been moved to Monday at 7 p.m. We still have six games tonight and as usual I will do my best to let you know what's going on. Here's a look at tonight's games:

5:42: Dexter Sloane's 4-yard TD run has given Handley a 14-7 lead with 5:29 left in the third quarter.

5:12: Chris Skinner, who made his Handley debut two weeks ago, had the Judges only touchdown with a 32-yard run. The James Wood transfer should help the Judges in football and basketball this season.

5:05: Handley and Washington are still tied at the half, 7-7.

4:42: Handley and Washington are tied 7-7 with 8:55 left in the second quarter.

3:45: We have another strong slate of games tonight. Starting with an early game between Handley and Washington. I think tonight we will find out a lot more about the local teams. Warren County has its first game against a Group AA squad. Central has a tough road test against Manassas Park. Strasburg has a tough road game at William Monroe. As always I will do my best to keep you updated throughout the evening on all the games. Here's a list of tonight's games:

Washington at Handley, 4 p.m.
Kettle Run at Skyline, 7 p.m.
James Wood at Warren County, 7 p.m.
Buffalo Gap at Stonewall Jackson, 7 p.m.
Strasburg at William Monroe, 7:30 p.m.
Central at Manassas Park, 7:30 p.m.

9:29: Thanks for all your updates Lois. Handley starts out 1-3 for the second straight year.

9:24: We have our first three finals. Hedgesville beats James Wood, 17-3, and Loudoun County beats Sherando, 28-0. Also, Strasburg beats Luray 34-14. Good night for road teams.

9:16: Harrisonburg leads Millbrook 21-0 in the third quarter.

9:11: It looks like the Wildcats have woke up. Warren County leads 40-0 at the end of the third quarter. Steele with 111 yards on 16 carries and 3 TDs. Strasburg leads Luray 28-14 with 4:48 left in the game. Todd Dean had a TD run in the fourth to give the Rams a cushion. Troy Gordon had a kickoff return for a TD for the second straight week.

9:09: Thanks for the update Lois. Can the Judges actually start out 1-3 for a second straight year?

9:05: Loudoun County continues to take it to Sherando. It's now 28-0. I'm thinking this isn't an upset, the Dulles District is always strong. It looks like Briar Woods is going to have some serious competition this year from the Raiders.

8:55: It looks like Loudoun County is going to win. The Raiders now lead 21-0 with 11:57 left in the game.

8:51: Lois thanks for another update. It looks like it's going to be a nail-biter at Fauquier tonight.

8:48: Hedgesville leads James Wood 10-3 with 10 minutes left in the game. It looks like I might get that pick right after all.

8:24: George Mason is hanging with Warren County, the Mustangs must have a decent team this year. Warren County leads 14-0 at the half. Gage Steele has 10 carries for 65 yards and a touchdown for the Wildcats.

8:10: Sherando still trails 14-0 at the half. Former Handley coach and AD Todd Hill has his Loudoun County defense ready tonight. The Warriors have had 11 rushing attempts for -8 yards. Todd's a good coach, so I'm not completely surprised. He's obviously got that program going strong. Elsewhere, Strasburg is leading Luray 14-7 at the half. The Rams are on the verge of a 4-0 start, with a showdown against Clarke County looming next week.

7:54: Warren County is up 7-0 on George Mason early. Jeff Budwash had a 62-yard touchdown run in the first two minutes of the game. Let the rout begin. I think Warren County is the area's best team. Loudoun County leads Sherando 14-0 with 3:40 left in the first half. The Raiders must have a strong defense to be shutting down Sherando's high-powered offense.

7:52: James Wood leads 3-0 over Hedgesville at the half. Chandler DeHaven already has 6 field goals this season. I may have picked this game wrong, which isn't good since Jeff Nations picked James Wood. Hedgesville beat James Wood last year in a close one.

7:42: Thanks for the update, Lois. It looks like getting back on the winning track won't come easily for Handley.

7:34: Upset in the making. Loudoun County leads Sherando 7-0 with 11:18 left in the first half.

5:51: Another exciting Friday night of football is upon us. There should be some good games tonight, and I will do my best to keep everyone updated with what's going on.
