Thursday Throwdown
Welcome back to the Thursday Throwdown where Paul and I duke it out each week over hot topics in Loudoun football. This week we'll play the odds with a few "Which is More Likely" matchups dealing with several scenarios pertaining to the season's final two weeks and the playoffs. As always, Tenorio will take one side of the argument and I'll take the other. To decide who argues what, we went old-fashioned and flipped a coin. After we've covered each topic, we'll give you a chance to cast your ballot in the poll. (Speaking of ballots, DON'T FORGET TO VOTE PEOPLE! We're not just about sports here at Extra Points.)

Top Performers - Week 10
Welcome back to Tuesday's Top Performers! We had some dominant performances on the ground this week with several teams rushes for more than 200 yards. Briar Woods senior Ray Taliaferro went over 200 by himself in a three-touchdown performance against Heritage, Broad Run's Breon Earl and T.J. Peeler both had multiple rushing touchdowns and Stone Bridge's Michael Prince had his second straight three-touchdown game. Not all these guys could make the ranks of the Week 9 Top Performers, but we're going to give as much recognition as we can. And Tenorio's win last week proved to be more of a fluke than the start of a comeback as Brooks continued his season-long dominance with another victory. With two weeks remaining in the regular season, Tenorio is worse-off than the Bengals - he's mathematically eliminated from championship contention. Better luck next year, bud.

Top Five Football Power Poll - Week 9
It's time again for the Loudoun County Top Five Power Poll. We've got the same standings again this week with all five teams winning their district matchups on Friday night. That said, we've got two huge matchups between Nos. 2 and 3 and Nos. 4 and 5 this week so expect a shake up this time next week. Today we're pulling out our abacuses and calculators to take a look at each team 'by the numbers.' We'll hit two key statistics and discuss how they've impacted the success of each team so far this season. Read full entry and discussion »
Tuesday Top Performers - Week 9
Welcome back to Top Performers. After weeks of doing hit best Detroit Lions impersonation (Tenorio once voted for Matt Millen as GM of the year), Tenorio got back in the win column this week with a very narrow 4-3 victory. Fortunately for me, the 15-point lead I had coming into Week 8 was a nice enough cushion that I don't have to worry about him creeping up on me just yet. We had some great individual performances on Friday night, particularly in the backfield where Broad Run's T.J. Peeler absolutely blew up and Ross Madison continued to get things done for Heritage. Michael Prince got back to business for Stone Bridge and several Potomac Falls Panthers managed to put up nice numbers despite playing only one half of football. Read full entry and discussion »

Gone Fishin...
The Broad Run Fishing Club put on its first annual fall tournament over the weekend and Matt Merrick came out on top - by a fin. Each fisherman recorded the length of each of his fishes on an index card in accordance with the rules and regulations given at the start of the tournament. The five largest fish on each angler's card were added together to produce their total for the day. The hooks hit the water at 7 a.m. and the competitors were on the water until 11:30. The day concluded with a barbecue and an award ceremony. Read full entry and discussion »

Monday (Afternoon) Quarterback
Welcome back to the Monday (Afternoon) Quarterback. Today we're going with three quick hits from each of Friday's games. There were no big upsets, but Stone Bridge's defense had a masterful performance against Madison, Briar Woods continued to win by relying nearly entirely on its defense and Potomac Falls pitched a 54-0 shutout against Freedom. So you could say it was a defensive week. Read full entry and discussion »

Welcome back to Loudoun Extra Points, where today we'll break down the Game of the Week between Park View and Briar Woods.

Top Five Football Power Poll - Week 8
Welcome back to the Loudoun County Top Five Power Poll.

Welcome back to Top Performers, where it was business as usual for "Big Money" Brooks. Tenorio just can't seem to get things going here. He's sort of like the Cincinnati Bengals of Loudoun Football - decent on paper but just don't show up on game-day. Better luck this week, bud. Read full entry and discussion »

Monday (Afternoon) Quarterback
We're back (in our regular time slot) for the Monday (Afternoon) Quarterback! Today we're going to mention a few notable stats, trends and story lines from each of Friday's six games. We had two great ones in Sterling (PF-PV) and Leesburg (BW-LC) and a get well game for Heritage. Even Valley had a strong showing, going into the half with a lead only to watch it slip away in a heartbreaking second half. But kudos to Coach Danny McGrath and his team for taking a big step in the right direction. Read full entry and discussion »

Top Performers - Week 7
Welcome back to Top Performers, where Brooks has dominated for the most part, while Tenorio has for the most part picked second-place performers. Well, Brooks won again this week -- narrowly escaping with a 4-3 victory. In fact, the real winners were the non-picks, as only Tenorio actually predicted a top performer in the actual category the performer won (Briar Woods defense, Stone Bridge offensive line), while Brooks' quarterback pick snuck in as a playmaker.

Today we're going to take a quick look back (sorry, Sarah Palin) at the week that was. There were a few decisive victories (Potomac Falls, Stone Bridge, Park View) and a couple real grinders (Broad Run, Briar Woods) as the Dulles District race is really starting to take shape. We'll point out a few items of note in the box scores, mention a couple trends we're starting to notice and buckle down for another week of Loudoun football action. Read full entry and discussion »
