Centreville has enjoyed four consecutive blowout wins after it crashed out of the national rankings with a season-opening loss to Gonzaga (Washington, D.C.). The defending state champion Wildcats (4-1) have played without injured senior running
A.J. Turner (wrist) in all five games, but the South Carolina recruit is expected to return before the end of the season. Picking up the running game slack in the interim has been junior
Kyle Richbourg. He has averaged 100 rushing yards per game and 8 yards per carry. Westfield is also 4-1 following a hard-fought 15-9 road win against Stone Bridge (Ashburn) last week. In the fourth quarter, senior running back
Evan Gray – a powerful 5-10, 220-pounder – scored the game-winning touchdown, his ninth of the season.

Just the facts: Westfield had beaten Centreville nine out of 10 times between 2004-13 before it lost twice to the Wildcats last season. That included a 35-14 Centreville triumph in the Class 6A state semifinals. … Mike Glennon, the current starting quarterback for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, led Westfield to its most recent state championship in 2007.
