Preview of FUMA vs. Collegiate
The Daily Progress carried this nice preview of the prep football contest between FUMA and Collegiate to be played Friday, October 22, 2004, 3PM at FUMA.
Collegiate at FUMA
Time: 3 p.m.
Records: COL (6-0, 1-0); FUMA (5-1, 1-1)
Notable: A key game in the Prep League and the VISFA Division 3 playoff race. The Cougars, the defending state champions, ranks second in the VISFA D-3 poll, while FUMA stands fourth. Three of the four teams in the VISFA D-3 standings compete head to head in the Prep League (St. Christopher's is No. 1). The top four make the playoffs. Collegiate won last year, 24-14.
Collegiate: The pass-happy Cougars enter this game with playoff positioning on the line - they would prefer to have home field as they try for a state title repeat. Despite losing nine starters, coach Charlie McFall has his crew rolling. QB Russell Wilson (6-foot-1, 175-pound soph.) leads the offense. Other names to watch include TE/LB Devon Kelley and LB Ben Schewel. Collegiate has not lost a game since starting 0-2 last year - a streak of 14 games. That run includes wins over Woodberry and STAB this year.
Fork Union: Starting with today's game, FUMA has two of its last three at home. The Blue Devils bounced back from their first loss of the season by defeating Atlantic Shores last week, 41-21. Not surprisingly, senior tailback Tyrone Wilson led the offensive charge - he had 4 TD runs on runs of 15, 82, 11 and 10 yards. He finished with 146 yards on 14 carries. Wilson needs just 17 yards to go over 1,000 for the season. Also having good rushing days were Curtiss Powell and Jamal Schulters, who had 70 and 54 yards, respectively. Defensively, Schulters, Brandon Caleb and Stephen Palmer each had an INT to lead a solid effort on D.
