Rushing Attack Fuels Strasburg Victory

MADISON, VA – Strasburg (6-2, 1-1 Bull Run) once again relied on its strong rushing attack to defeat Madison County and secure their first district win of the season.

The Rams opened the scoring when senior fullback Brian Blevins powered his way in for a short touchdown. The Mountaineers responded immediately with Trevor Yowell’s impressive catch and run. The extra point attempt was blocked, leaving the score tied at six.

Strasburg then embarked on a scoring spree, tallying 25 unanswered points. The first of these came when quarterback Parker Neal connected with freshman Josh Kibler for Neal’s fifth touchdown pass of the season. Strasburg successfully recovered the ensuing onside kick and extended their lead with a Ryan Swanger field goal.

The Rams added two more touchdowns in the second half, including a short-yardage run by senior Brandon Holbert.

Strasburg now enjoys a bye week to recover and prepare for their final playoff push, beginning with a crucial game at Clarke County on November 5th.
