Football: McSorley Tosses School-Record 5 TDs as Briar Woods Opens Season with 15th Straight Win

By George Khalsa 
Special to Viva Loudoun via BWHsports.org 
Ashburn (Aug. 30, 2012) -Playing their first-ever varsity football game the Patriot Pioneers from Prince William County had the misfortune of facing the 2010 and 2011 AA Division 4 state champion Briar Woods Falcons on their home turf.

Receiving the kickoff, the Pioneers first-ever offensive play, however, was a stunner. Sophomore Cody Agnew unloaded a long, high, spiral that was caught in stride by WR Zak Watson and taken to the Falcon five. Four plays later RB Vic Ceglie scored the Pioneer’s first touchdown. K Jamie Corcoran made good on the extra point and the visitors had a 7-0 lead in less than a minute.

That would be the high point of the evening for the Pioneers as the Falcons ran off six consecutive touchdowns en route to a 42-14 victory. In a game which went to a running clock before half of the third quarter had elapsed the Falcons piled up 474 yards of offense as they won for the 14th consecutive game and for the 26th time in 27 contests. BW junior quarterback Trace McSorley finished with a school record five TDs in the win and has now thrown for more than 4,000 yards in his career.
