Back and forth we go. Covington-Griggs finds the endzone again late in the half to make it 14-10 Stone Bridge at the break.

It was 14-13 midway through the third. Lewis drops back to pass but it’s a wobbler. The Bulldogs’ Jacob Thomas makes the pick and then a play.

As a college student, making an extra buck now and then was very important. I started as a part-time reporter since I was 19 yo, and I couldn’t believe it might become a long-time career. I'm happy to be part of the Virginian Tribune's team.
