(Sept. 19, 2011) - In just the second year since opening in Leesburg the Tuscarora High School football program is ready to make an impact in the Dulles District as the Huskies defeated Loudoun Valley, 28-14, Friday night in a Dulles District opening in Purcellville to improve to 3-0 on the season.
Tuscarora scored four TDs in the first half, building a 28-6 lead with Cameron Molina scoring on runs of 20 and 34 yards and Chris Holoman scoring from 1-yard out. The Huskies final score of the half was an exciting interception return for 99 yards by John Johnson as he picked off a ball in the end zone and took it all the way to the other end.
Loudoun Valley (0-2, 1-3), which has dropped three straight since a season-opening win over Fauquier, got TD throws from Neil Frazier to Harrison Jackson for 38 yards and to Wesley Robinson for 4 yards as well as another 100-yard-plus rushing performance from Donald Devine but it wasn't enough for the Vikings.

How can an interception return for a touchdown be 99 yards when he intercepted the ball in the endzone and returned it for a score? Come on, proof read what you write...
ReplyDeleteIt was a 106 yard interception return for a score.
Actually in high school and college you can not have a return longer than 100 yards (I corrected the box from 99 to 100) so anything run out of the end zone is credited with 100 yards ... NFL on the other hand recognizes yardage in the end zone so the longest return is 109 yards for Pros!
ReplyDeleteCorrections:
ReplyDelete1 yard out was Edwin Mends
Interception return was John Johnson
You are half right ... and it looks like the darn box is half wrong! John Johnson with big return! But Coach Burnett's weekly stats report is showing Holoman as the TD from 1! I will correct ...thanks
