Prep football scoreboard for Saturday’s games

RICHMOND — In his final high school football game before he takes his considerable talent down River Road to the University of Richmond, quarterback Jake McGee gave Collegiate’s fans one more reason to remember him fondly. Facing a Liberty Christian Academy defense that blanked Potomac School in the Virginia Independent Schools Division I semifinals, McGee finished with 396 yards of offense and seven touchdowns as the Cougars defended their state title and won their fifth in the past seven seasons with a 48-28 victory Saturday.

BERRYVILLE — A few moments before, Clarke County High School’s fans were screaming louder than they had all game. As two players hit Appomatox County quarterback Kenny Scott at the Eagles’ 37-yard line, they began to roar again. Their fervor was short-lived. Scott somehow shook off the two tacklers at the line of scrimmage and wasn’t touched again until he crossed the goal line with 6:25 left in the fourth quarter, giving the Raiders the two-touchdown lead they needed to secure the win.

GRETNA — It didn’t seem like much would go right for Gretna on Saturday against Buckingham. An inadvertent whistle by an official, a costly penalty on a big gain and an assortment of events kept the Hawks off balance and out of sync. One thing that would work was the quick slant pass to Ted Jennings, who turned those into positive gains throughout the second half, which only made it easier to go back to it in overtime. Nick Miller found Jennings on a slant route and the junior receiver did the rest, bouncing off defenders into the end zone, giving the two-time defending state champion Hawks a 28-22 overtime victory over Buckingham in the semifinals of the Region B, Division 2, tournament Saturday afternoon.

BEDFORD — As time wound down in the first half, with Robert E. Lee seeking to break a 14-14 tie at Liberty High in a Region III, Division 3, semifinal rematch with the Minutemen, Anthony Reynolds made a one-handed interception of a 20-yard pass by Lee quarterback Devante White near his own goal line. The ball was tipped around twice by teammates before Reynolds picked it off and returned it 100-yards for an improbable score that gave Liberty a lead it wouldn’t relinquish in a 35-28 triumph.
