Clean Sweep for Ashburn Football Teams
Briar Woods, Broad Run and Stone Bridge each captured big wins Friday night.
Ashburn high school football fans enjoyed a great night across the board Friday, as all three of the community’s teams ran a way with convincing wins by a combined score of 114-20.
The Briar Woods Falcons seemingly had the toughest test when they hit the road to play the previously unbeaten Tuscarora Huskies. But the result was something Falcons fans have become accustomed to during the past three years: a dominating defense and strong rushing attack spurred Briar Woods to the 35-6 victory and a 6-0 record. Cory Colder ran for 120 yards and three touchdowns, while Matt Rolin paced the defense with six tackles, and Trace McSorley and Darryll Gadsden each recorded an interception.
The Falcons next host Woodgrove for homecoming this Friday night at 7 p.m.

Chuck Davis, Brady Rietzel, Corey Hilberath and Da'Qwan Earl each recorded rushing touchdowns for the Spartans.
