1. Maury

Can anyone stop the Commodores? After scoring 97 points against Manor and 82 versus Booker T. Washington, they laid an 84-6 beatdown on Norview despite playing on the road. Scoring 42 second-quarter points had the game out of the Pilots’ reach. Maury can earn their ninth consecutive victory by defeating Churchland on the road on Nov. 1.

2. Oscar Smith

The Tigers maintained their undefeated record via a 27-12 win over 16^th-ranked King’s Fork. It’s the first time in their last six games that they’ve allowed double-digit points to their opponent and second overall throughout the season. Their defense might have slipped slightly, but they remain second in the Virginia high school football defensive rankings. Oscar Smith can earn another win when they host Hickory on the 1^st.

3. Phoebus

The Phantoms earned their third consecutive shutout victory by defeating Menchville 49-0. Phoebus scored 35 first-half points and never looked back.
