With several of Madison’s previous opponents losing Friday, Goochland (6-4) edged out the Mountaineers (8-2) for the final playoff spot, finishing with 19.55 power points to Madison’s 19.5.

It’s safe to say that after a handful of turnovers — and a healthy dose of Eastern View running back Stevie Strother — Madison County is ready to move past Friday night’s 34-20 road loss and gear up for Bull Run District play.

Stuart Dean has a problem that most coaches in the area would like to have. He has a pair of stud running backs in Logan Terrell and Devon Boone, and only one football to split between the two.

QUICKSBURG — Madison County didn’t get off to a good start Friday night at Stonewall Jackson, but the Mountaineers cruised to a 26-13 victory and remained unbeaten.

The good news for Dean is that the bragging rights are his after his Mountaineers team ran over the Greene Dragons 28-0 on the road.
