Football: Big Plays Send Park View to Homecoming Win over Potomac Falls

Sterling (Oct. 10, 2010) - Senior Alec Dombkowski threw three touchdown passes to three different receivers and Kyle Jeffries returned a fumble 79 yards for a score to lead Park View High School to a 28-13 Homecoming victory over neighbor Potomac Falls Friday in AA Dulles District football.

The Patriots (2-1, 3-3) move into a 3-way tie with Broad Run and Dominion for second in the district behind Briar Woods. Potomac Falls (0-2, 1-5) has dropped five straight games.

Panther sophomore quarterback John Fischetti threw for 245 yards on 17 of 37 passing and tried to rally PFalls with a pair of fourth quarter touchdowns including a 74-yarder to Zach Hobby.

Potomac Falls was threatening to score first in the game, having drove to the Patriot 21 in the second quarter, when a shotgun snap sailed long and Jeffries scooped it up and rambled for the long TD return.

Ryan McCarter intercepted a pass on the Panthers next possession and returned it for a score but a penalty on the return erased the TD. McCarter wouldn't be denied as he caught a 30-yard pass for a score to make it 14-0.

Potomac Falls drove down to the Park View 14 late in the half but the Patriots held to keep the Panthers off the scoreboard at the half.

A long Park View drive in the third quarter made it 21-0 after Donte Absher caught a 5-yard TD.

In the fourth quarter, Potomac Falls drove deep but again failed to score, this time from the 9, Patriot LB Eric Palma picked off a pass and returned it 95 yards for an apparent TD but again a penalty on the return brought it back to the PFalls 35. Two plays later Joseph Jackson caught a 14-yard TD to make it 28-0.

The Panthers broke the shutout with a long 14-play drive with Nicholas Fernandez catching a 19-yard TD and then the Panthers added a late long scoring TD to Hobby for the final score.
