The much awaited 2010 version of Cave Spring Knight football took an early first quarter gasp, then turned the multi-faceted Cave Spring offense into high gear as the Knights rolled to the 41-21 win last Friday night at Dwight Bogle Stadium.
Staunton River quarterback Cody Jones got the Eagles on the board first with a 57-yard TD run with just under 8 minutes left in the opening quarter for a 7-0 Staunton River lead.
Featuring an offense led by 6’3″ senior QB Josh Woodrum, Cave Spring unleashed an aerial attack that included receptions by eight receivers, as well as a rushing game that accounted for 209 total yards as the Knights scored 35 unanswered points en route to a 35-7 advantage at halftime.
Woodrum hit seniors Austin Micklem and Virgina Tech-bound Michael Cole for first-half touchdowns, and lightning-quick running back Sam Wright broke loose for a 72-yard TD run. Woodrum closed out the first half Cave Spring scoring with a pair of keepers, scoring from one and nine yards out. Wright tacked on the only second-half Cave Spring score, going in from 13-yards in the fourth quarter. For the game, Woodrum was 11-for-23 passing with 168 yards. Wright picked up 166 yards on 24 carries.
Cave Spring returns to Bogle Field this Friday night as the Graham G-Men come to town looking for revenge for last season’s 42-0 loss to the Knights in the first round of the state playoffs.
