If you're a fan of offense, last Friday's conference match-up in Annandale was the place to be. Hayfield would need every one of their 50 points to claim the outright Gunston District Championship. The 50-43 victory over Annandale marked Hayfield's seventh district title in school history, posting a 4-0 record against Annandale, Mount Vernon, T.C. Williams, and West Potomac.
The game featured five lead changes, two ties, and scores on 13 of 17 possessions. The Hawks would again rely on Senior Brian Cobbs to get the ball into the hands of Hayfield's dynamic receiving core, completing 21 of 27 passes for 309 yards and four touchdowns. The Atoms opening possession would be an indicator of things to come for Hayfield's run defense, who would surrender over 300 yards on the ground, by driving 80 yards on 12 plays to grab the early 7-0 lead. After a 70 yard kickoff return from Cobbs (SR) set the Hawks up deep in Atoms territory, a pursuing Atoms defender two plays later would cause an errant Cobbs (SR) pass to be intercepted. Fortunately for the Hawks, the Atoms were unable to replicate their earlier drive and punted. Cobbs (SR) would find the human wrecking ball, Senior Travis Williams, on a 20 yard touchdown to draw the score even at 7-7. Annandale would respond, in a more methodical way, by driving 95 yards on 14 plays and score on a 3 yard run, retaking the lead 14-7 with 9:29 remaining in the 2nd quarter. On Hayfield's next possession, Cobbs (SR) would find all of his weapons, Tim Wiggins (JR), Trevor Gleason (SO), and Williams (SR), through the air and then used his feet on a 19 yard touchdown. The extra point would be no good, leaving the Hawks trailing 13-14. Another 14 play 63 yard drive by Annandale not only extended their lead to 21-13, but was also gassing Hayfield's defense in the process. Cobbs (SR) wasted no time finding a wide open Rayjuon Pringle (JR) on a 44 yard touchdown and then capped it off with a run on the two-point conversion, equalizing the score 21-21 with 1:57 in the 2nd quarter. After a holding penalty set back the Atoms, the Hawks would use their timeouts in order to get one more chance before halftime. On what seemed to be another miracle tipped touchdown pass to Pringle (JR), the Atoms were saved by a questionable offensive pass interference call. Hayfield would head to the locker room tied in a battle, with district bragging rights on the line.
In the second half, both teams knew whoever blinked first might be on the losing end of this shootout. After Hayfield received the kickoff, Cobbs (SR) lead the offense 60 yards on 9 plays, including a perfect 5/5 passing, to find Williams (SR) on a 4 yard jump pass. The 28-21 Hayfield lead would not last long, a 12 play 68 yard drive by Annandale and an accidental two-point conversion gave them a 29-28 lead with 4:35 in the 3rd quarter. Fortunately for Hayfield, the offense was clicking on all cylinders, and Cobbs (SR) found the endzone on a 4 yard run, and added the two point conversion to regain a 7 point lead, 36-29.
Senior Stephen King would make Annandale blink first, finding his way into the backfield with two consecutive tackle for losses, forcing the Atoms to punt. Cobbs (SR) would find Senior Jevon Pailin on the very next play for a 76 yard strike blowing the score open to 43-29. Annandale however was not going anywhere, they drove 71 yards on 14 plays, found another accidental two-point conversion, and brought the game within six points, 43-37 with 7:16 in the 4th quarter.
Tantamount to a closer in baseball, the Hawks called on the services of running back Senior Kylan Booker to milk clock and pick up chunks of yards in the process. Booker (SR) was able to find a running lane and scored on a 25 yard touchdown, extending the lead 50-37 with 5:13 in the 4th quarter. Annandale would score again on a 10 play drive and attempt the onside kick, but was unsuccessful. Booker (SR) gained another first down and the battle was over, 50-43.
Friday's win was the first over the Atoms since 2005 and the Hawks led the overall series 10-6. Hayfield is currently tied for 3rd in the Occoquan Region playoff standings, however the seeding and opponent for next week's playoff game will not be known until late Friday night.

Setting personal accolades aside, Senior Brian Cobbs showed why he was the most versatile athlete on the field during last Friday's 40-30 victory over West Potomac. In his second career start at QB and first complete game at QB, Cobbs (SR) sacrificed a 30-game consecutive reception streak dating back to September 3, 2015. During the streak, Cobbs (SR) amassed 2,227 yards on 154 receptions and 27 touchdowns, all team records.
Entering Friday's contest against Gunston District foe West Potomac, Hayfield would field a hodgepodge defense as many starters were too banged up to play. Understanding the situation, the Hawk's wasted no time getting their plethora of offensive weapons involved, including Seniors Jevon Pailin and Travis Williams and Juniors Tim Wiggins and Rayjuon Pringle. Cobbs (SR) would guide the opening drive 66 yards on nine plays finding Pringle (JR) on a 26 yard touchdown pass. And after the Wolverines went three-and-out on their first possession, the Hawks would strike again two plays later on a 62 yard Cobbs (SR) pass to Pailin (SR) extending the lead 14-0 in the first 4:42 of the game.
The Wolverines however would not go silently, utilizing a shifty powerful running back reminiscent of former Hayfield standout Myles Ross, scoring on their next possession to make the score 14-6. Unfazed by the score, Hayfield's offense was running on all cylinders, driving 62 yards on 12 plays with Cobbs (SR) finding Sophomore Trevor Gleason for a 10 yard touchdown. Seemingly unstoppable, Cobbs (SR) would score on the Hawk's next possession to extend the lead 27-6 with 8:56 in the 2nd quarter. West Potomac would only find two more points in the first half courtesy of a Hayfield safety after being penalized for intentional grounding in their own end zone.
Both teams traded possessions to start the second half, with Hayfield finding paydirt first on a 25 yard tipped touchdown pass from Cobbs (SR) to Pringle (JR), who would finish the game with a Hayfield career high seven receptions for 120 yards and two touchdowns. Hayfield would take their 25 point 33-8 lead into the 4th quarter, where it would not stay unchanged for long. The Wolverines mounted a drive into Hawk's territory and scored on a one yard touchdown run inching the score to 33-15 with 10:47 remaining. West Potomac was able to score on their next possession, powering past two Hayfield defenders at the goal line on a 27 yard pass to make the score interesting, 33-22 with 4:45 remaining. Fending off potential disappointment, the Hawks recovered the Wolverines onside kick at the Hayfield 44 yard line and preceded to kill 3:20 off the clock on seven straight running plays capping it with a two yard Cobbs (SR) touchdown. Cobbs (SR) would end the night 19/25 passing for 276 yards in the air, 86 yards on the ground, and six touchdowns (four passing/two rushing). The Wolverines would score one last time against back-up players to set the final score 40-30. Hayfield is now 20-2 over the past four seasons when scoring at least 35 points. This is Hayfield's first win over West Potomac since 2005, the Wolverines still lead the all-time series 18-10. Next up: @ Annandale (3-5) | Friday, October 27 | 7:00 pm Hayfield 40, West Potomac 30
