Louisa gets off on the right foot, rolls in football opener

Louisa
It took a successfully recovered onside kick with just 84 seconds left, but Louisa County enjoyed an emotional season-opening victory in front of The Mineral Millitia.

The Lions (1-0) raced out to an early lead over the new school in Culpeper County and held off a late rally for a 27-20 win.

For the game, Louisa County pounded out 119 yards on the ground and added another 179 through the air behind the arm of quarterback Dylan Hollins (8 for 11, 179 yards, 2 TDs).

Early in the contest, Hollins connected with massive tight end Kerry Wynn for a 57-yard touchdown strike.

It was Hollins' first start under center in his career.

“The first game starting at quarterback to throw two touchdowns, that’s unbelievable,” Hollins told reporters. “That’s every kid’s dream to start at quarterback on varsity.”

Wynn, who stands at 6-foot-4, led the Lions’ pass-catching options, hauling in four passes for 107 yards.

The Lions also scored a 2-yard touchdown run by tailback Anthony Hunter.

In the final quarter, Hunter added another score for insurance and totaled 63 rushing yards on 17 carries.

Running back Kendall Davidson, who secured the win when he jumped on the pivotal onside kick, caught a touchdown pass in the second quarter from 14 yards out to cap off a 57-yard drive that answered Eastern View’s first score.

“That was a big drive for them,” Eastern View Head Coach Greg Hatfield said. “We had a couple of chances to make some plays and we didn’t make them, but that was a big-time drive on their part.”

Demetris Johnson (2 catches for 49 yards) and Rashawn Jackson (1 for 9) also got in the act catching passes for Louisa, which registered 14 first downs on the evening.
