Football: Stone Bridge Bounces Back with 50-14 Win

Ashburn (Sept. 19, 2011) - The Stone Bridge High School football team suffered a rare regular-season loss a week ago against Chantilly but the Bulldogs bounced back Friday with a big 50-14 Liberty District win over South Lakes.

Stone Bridge (1-0, 2-1) took the lead immediately as senior Stan Johnson returned the opening kickoff 88 yards for a score. By the time the firs quarter was over, the Bulldogs led 22-0 and they were up 36-7 at the half.

Junior quarterback Ryan Burns was 3 of 6 for 117 yards with two of those completions going for scores to Jake Kuzbel, for 19 and 58 yards.


The Bulldogs scored on the ground with Sterling Dailey (54 yards on 9 carries), Rassaun Goldring (77 yards on 4 carries), and Stephen Trivieri (68 yards on 18 carries) all finding the end zone. Trivieri scored from 6 and 4 yards out while Dailey's TD was 5 yards and Goldring had a 57-yard scoring run.

Stone Bridge's defense has yet to give up a scoring touchdown drive this season as the Bulldogs shut out Robinson in week one, gave 22 points against Chantilly, 19 of them coming off turnovers, and on Friday South Lake's two scores came on a 50-yard interception return and a 34-yard punt return.

The Bulldogs held South Lakes to -21 yards rushing on 19 attempts. Stone Bridge also picked off three Seahawk passes with Luke Fitzgerald intercepting two and Johnson grabbing a pick.

Stone Bridge hosts Broad Run (4-0) Friday in a non-district game Friday at 7:30 p.m. that is one of the most highly-anticipated match-up's in Loudoun County football history.
