While a significant amount of local teams had bye weeks, several Central Virginia high school football programs found the win column in Week 5.
Louisa, STAB stay undefeated
Louisa County improved to 4-0 with a 56-15 victory over Fluvanna County on Friday.
The Lions opened the scoring from the defensive side with a Lavartrell Creasy 46-yard fumble recovery for a touchdown.
The Flucos went on an 18-play, 10-minute drive on the ensuing possession, but it ended via turnover on downs. Louisa County followed that with a nine-play, 73-yard touchdown drive concluding on a one-yard Hiter rush that made it 14-0.
The Lions recovered a fumble at Fluvanna County’s 33-yard line soon after, and they immediately scored again on a Carter catch-and-run.
On the next play from scrimmage, Carter hauled in an interception and returned it to the Flucos’ 4-yard line. Hiter then ran the next snap into the end zone to make it 28-0.
Carter scored another touchdown just before halftime on a 49-yard catch-and-run. The second half featured scores from the Lions’ Creasy, Jaheim Jackson and Colt Hayden, as well as Fluvanna County’s Christopher Johnson and Kevin Jordan.
