Heritage running back Khalid Abdullah burst onto the scene last year as a major weapon on a team on the rise. His workload was heavy and the Hurricanes were just a few key plays away from a winning record.

It was the Bay Rivers Showdown. York made the trip across the James River to take on the Smithfield Packers, in a battle of two undefeated teams. One team would leave the field with sole possession of first place in the BRD.

Ocean Lakes continues to prove why it has a legitimate shot at winning their first state championship, with a smothering defense and one of the most well-balanced offenses in the region. The Dolphins shot down the SunDevils in a Beach Battle of undefeated teams.
