on his first field goal attempt of the season.

where two outstanding quarterbacks, Ryan
Burns for the Bulldogs and Sam
Rogers for the Hawks, are dueling it out.
Stone Bridge just recovered an onside kick, however, so the Bulldogs
should face Lake Taylor in next week's Division 5 title game barring a dramatic
ending.

defense has done a good job of bending, but not breaking yet.
style=> The question remains can they get a big play
offensively or on special teams to ignite them and jump in front first against
an explosive Ocean Lakes squad?

PM:
10.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>Big break for Ocean
Lakes as Hylton's
normal'>Lawrence Hunt blocks the Dolphins' punt, but the officials
apparently rule that the return was either muffed/fumbled by
class=SpellE>Hylton. That gives
the ball back to Ocean Lakes at their own 38-yard line with a fresh set of
downs. Weird situation and Coach
style='mso-bidi-font-weight:normal'>Tony Lilly of Hylton
is not happy at all.
"Verdana","sans-serif"'>Ocean Lakes is on the move now with three straight runs
by junior tailback Brandon Simmons
up the middle, gaining 16 yards to move the chains.
style=> The Dolphins go back to the sweep with
class=SpellE>Jaason
style='mso-bidi-font-weight:normal'> Lewis, which picks up 10 yards down to
the C.D. Hylton 36-yard line.
style=> And after two rushes of for nine yards,
Simmons moves the chains on 3rd-and-1.
style='mso-bidi-font-weight:normal'>Jordan Bobo breaks
off a nine-yard run, but the Dolphins are pushed back on a false start and
class=SpellE>Bobo is drilled by hard-hitting Hylton
linebacker E.J. Levenberry,
the FSU Seminoles commit.
"Verdana","sans-serif"'>Faced with a key third down,
style='mso-bidi-font-weight:normal'>Churchie
normal'> Harold fires a 7-yard completion to Delaware commit
style='mso-bidi-font-weight:normal'>Andre Dessenberg.
style=> However, the Dolphins are now looking at 3rdd
& 15, where the Dolphins sniff out the screen to Dessenberg
with Travis Crawley making the stop.
style=> Ocean Lakes brings out the field goal unit
and Tyler Buie
misses on a 33-yard attempt.
class=GramE>Still scoreless here with 4:29 to go in the first quarter.

PM:
10.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>We have kicked off
between Ocean Lakes and C.D. Hylton.
style=> The Dolphins will get the ball first and
class=SpellE>Treavonne
style='mso-bidi-font-weight:normal'> Brandon returns the opening kick 18
yards to their own 33-yard line. Ocean
Lakes' first play from scrimmage is something Coach
normal'>Chris Scott has gone to a good deal with success this year and that's
the jet sweep, where sophomore standout
normal'>Jaason Lewis picks
up 3.
"Verdana","sans-serif"'>Quarterback
normal'>Churchie Harold is
off the mark though on the next two passes, including one he throws across his
body, nearly intercepted by Hylton's
style='mso-bidi-font-weight:normal'>Travis Crawley.
style=> The Dolphins go three-and-out and will punt
it to Hylton, where QB
style='mso-bidi-font-weight:normal'>Travon
normal'> McMillian and the Bulldogs' offense get their first crack at
things.
style='font-size:10.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>2:45
PM:
style=> We are 15 minutes away from kickoff in the
Group AAA Division 6 State Semis between the Eastern Region Champion Ocean
Lakes Dolphins (13-0) and Northwest Region Champion C.D. Hylton
Bulldogs (10-2). The winner moves on to
Charlottesville next week to play in the State Championship against the winner
of the State Semis matchup between Central Region Champion L.C. Bird and
Northern Region Champion Oakton.
"Verdana","sans-serif"'>Over in Division 5 going on right now, Eastern Region
Champion Lake Taylor trails Northwest Region Champ North Stafford 14-0 midway
through the second quarter. That score
is a bit of a surprise considering Lake Taylor hammered reigning four-time
State Champion Phobus 54-0 last week.
