Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Westfield). They took their game on Friday with ease, bagging a 56-28 win over Washington-Liberty. Given the Bulldogs' advantage in MaxPreps' Virginia football rankings (they are ranked 44th, while the Generals are ranked 140th) , the win wasn't entirely unexpected.
South Lakes better keep an eye on PJ Sutherland. He was instrumental in Westfield's win, rushing for 186 yards and four touchdowns on only 14 carries. Those four rushing touchdowns gave Sutherland a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Merrit Clinton, who rushed for 81 yards and a pair of scores on only five carries.
