I think you are reading too much into that onside kick attempt. Most coaches like to try 1 or 2 in live game situations throughout the year (unless you are South County and do it all the time) in case of need at some point. What better time to try one than when you have just taken a commanding and more importantly - SAFE - lead?

Some actual game observations: kudos to #32 in blocking BOTH Centreville extra point attempts. Special teams had another solid performance for Westfield. #80 for Centreville was on fire this game – he absolutely tortured the Westfield offensive line and I’m sure Scanlon was tired of seeing him all night long. That kid is the real deal. I see both Oakton and Chantilly lost in OT. Anyone at t

There is a lot of football to be played yet but the final weekend of the season is shaping up to have a few conference championships on the line. We could very well see a decisive match-up in the final game for: Patriot Conference 7: 9-0 South County vs. 9-0 Lake Braddock Concorde Conference 5: 7-2 Chantilly vs. 8-1 Westfield Liberty Conference 6: 8-1 Madison vs 7-2 Hayfield

Ah, yes, very evenly matched teams no doubt. I'm sure Westfield fans are wondering how Robinson has 3 losses and Robinson fans are wondering how Westfield has 6 wins. No one will want to face Robinson in the playoffs. That is one heck of a defense. But I wouldn't be so sure Robinson gets past Westfield in a re-match. Westfield had a couple of turnovers in the red zone and pretty much shut do
