Football: Briar Woods Makes it 19 Straight Wins Behind Dominant Defense

(Sept. 22, 2012) - The Briar Woods High School football team won its 19th consecutive game behind a dominant defense as the Falcons held Potomac Falls to 68 total yards in a 49-3 victory Friday night.

Briar Woods (3-0, 5-0) travels to Tuscarora (2-0, 4-0) in a Dulles District showdown set up by the Huskies 21-7 win over Loudoun County Friday in the Battle of the Burg.


The Falcons led by 35-0 at the half Friday on their way to yet another running clock victory in the second half. Only a Panther field goal with 1:06 to play prevented a shut out.

Briar Woods quarterback Trace McSorley (32-3 as a starter now) threw for 130 yards on 11 of 18 passing and two TDs and Cory Colder rushed for two scores. McSorley has now surpassed the 5,000-yard career passing mark midway through his junior campaign.
