Asher recently decommitted from the University of Richmond — the FCS national champion coached by former Virginia assistant Mike London — and decided to accept an invited walk-on spot as a tight end at North Carolina.

With Madison County entering Saturday night’s game with an undefeated record and a No. 1 ranking in Group A courtesy of the Associated Press, Monticello looked to knock the Mountaineers off their lofty perch. Like Madison’s previous 14 opponents, the Mustangs left with a loss, 66-52.

Blue Ridge also got a boost from junior center Martins Abele, who added 17 points and 11 boards. The 7-foot-1, 295-pound Latvian is undoubtedly a welcome presence inside.

The Mountaineers are now 8-0 on the young season and 4-0 against JD teams, after previously knocking off William Monroe (twice) and Orange County.

The Mountaineers are 4-0 against Jefferson District opponents this year after twice beating William Monroe and completing the season sweep of Orange County with a 76-63 home win Friday night.

This early in the season, a win is a win and every coach will take one because they all count the same when it’s all said and done.

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.

Madison County quarterback Will Taylor threw two interceptions, but made up for it with a pair of touchdown runs to lead the Mountaineers to a 16-6 victory over George Mason on Friday.

Clarke, behind the blocking of a massive offensive line, piled up 309 yards rushing in a 32-13 runaway win to put a stranglehold on the Bull Run race.

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.

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.

With Mandy Klein and Kayla Walker up front, the Flucos showed some major potential in their 3-0 victory at home against Madison County Tuesday night.

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.

Madison, looking like a team that had worked out the early-season kinks before taking the field last night at Booster Park, dominated the line of scrimmage from start to finish in a 28-8 win over Nelson County.

Unfortunately for Nelson County, it’s becoming more obvious that the path to a Group A state title runs right through the Governors’ Dogwood District.
