Football: Broad Run Falls at Home for First Times Since 2007 as Battlefield Beats Spartans, 28-20

By Dan Sousa
VivaLoudoun Editor
Ashburn (Oct. 23, 2011) – The Broad Run High School football team could have all-but-clinched the AAA Cedar Run District football title Friday night at home against defending VHSL Division 6 state champion Battlefield, but it was the Bobcats celebrating a share of the district title after handing the Spartans their first defeat at home since the 2007 playoffs.

Battlefield (3-1, 7-2) built a 20-0 first-half lead and then held on against a furious Broad Run comeback for a 28-20 win. Broad Run (1-1, 6-2) can tie Battlefield for the regular-season title with wins to finish against district foes Stonewall Jackson (1-2, 4-4).

And it could likely be a 3-way tie for the title in the 5-team district as Osbourn (2-1, 6-3) needs only to finish with a win over struggling Freedom (0-2, 1-7). Battlefield ends the regular season with a non-district game with North Stafford. Both the Bobcats and Osbourn have byes the week before the playoffs.

For the Spartans, which last fell at home in the first round of the 2007 Region II playoffs to Park View, it was a second straight week with a first half where their opponents put up a 20 spot on the scoreboard. While a week earlier, against Osbourn, Broad Run quarterback had rallied his team to 21 first-half points to take the lead into the locker room, this time the Spartans struggled to just 61 first-half total yards and trailed 20-0.
