Skyhawks' bottle of Canaday in 21-16 win over Varina.

Led by Yahkee Johnson's 248 yards rushing with all 3 of Bird's touchdowns that counted, the Skyhawk's overcame a great last minute comeback attempt by the Varina Blue Devils to advance to the Division 6 Regional final for the second straight year. Not only did they have to overcome a valiant effort by Maurice Canaday, but also the officials, who made what the radio announcers called, "the worst call" I've seen in my time of watching football. Always the mark of a good team who can beat not only their opponent, but also 7 over the hill adults, who apparently have an axe to grind for a team whose colors are Navy and Columbia Blue.

Next Friday, the Skyhawks will travel across the James to take on Hermitage.

Skyhawks finish 9-1, win 11th straight Dominion Title.

Yahkee Johnson was too much for Clover Hill's defence to handle as heled to Skyhawks to a 56 -7 win over the Joel Calebless Cavaliers. Johnson rushed for 228 yards on 24 carries and 4 touchdowns, all in the first half and powered the 'Hawks into the playoffs for the 13th consecutive year.
