Appomattox is 19-0 and has won 42 straight sets, but the Lady Raiders are playing for more than wins under first-year coach Heath Drinkard, the son of longtime former coach Mark Drinkard, who died unexpectedly in July. #VHSL

LCA answers with an impressive drive of its own, capped off by a 1-yard score on a sneak by Luke Gaither to make it 29-8 with 11:18 to play. The Bees need one more remarkable comeback to stay unbeaten

You, Chick-fil-A worker reading this tweet, stop putting the stack of napkins on top of the fries and making them soggy as all get out before I eat a single one of them. No pleasure in that.
Liberty's Jamey Chadwell on the penalties: "I'll say there's some you don't have any control over. ... But we jumped offsides on a fourth and short when we had no play. We had 12 in the huddle coming from the sideline. We had a receiver on the ball when you're off the ball in that formation. So those are things you get so frustrated on. And they're detailed things."
Chadwell ctd. on penalties: "I lost my cool on the fourth and short because I thought we could've gone up 21-3 or 21-0 right before halftime. They were jumping offsides. Those are things that will get us beat if we don't get it. And we're working hard to improve it. At some point, I've got to figure it out, because I'm responsible for it. We thought we did something last week and it didn't happen."
