Two weeks ago, five of the nine greater Alexandria high school football teams won their games, but in this most recent weekend, only four of nine won their respective contests.

EDISON  47
MT. VERNON  21
Edison, coached by veteran Vaughn Lewis, improved to 4-0 on the season with a very solid 47-21 win versus South Alexandria/National District rival Mount Vernon. The Majors, coached by Tom Glynn, dropped to 2-2 on the season.
Mount Vernon actually led 7-3 midway through the first quarter, before the Red, White and Blue erupted for 44 consecutive points spanning the first, second, third and early fourth quarters.
The Majors scored the final 14 points of the contest but it was too little too late.

W. POTOMAC  28
R.E. LEE  21
West Potomac, coached by veteran Eric Henderson, also improved to 4-0 on the season with an overtime 28-21 win versus Patriot District rival R.E. Lee.
The teams alternated scores throughout the majority of the evening.  With the game deadlocked 21-21 after 48 regulation minutes, neither team scored in the first OT. In the second OT, West Potomac senior quarterback Cole Walter was able to pass for the decisive touchdown of the evening.
West Potomac, with eight wins in 07, is already positioning themselves for a possible playoff slot this year.

SSSA   38
St. Johns 0
St. Stephen’s/St. Agnes, coached by veteran Dave Holm, improved to 3-0 on the season with a commanding 38-0 win versus St. John’s (Frederick, Md.). It was a non-IAC affair for the Red, White and Green Saints.

EPISCOPAL  35
POTOMAC SCHOOL  0
The Episcopal Maroon, coached by veteran Mark Gowin, improved to 2-0 with a dominating 35-0 win versus Potomac School (McLean). It was also a non-IAC affair for the Maroon and Black in which Episcopal scored early and often in dismantling the outmanned Panthers.
