Glenvar proves to be a difficult test through the air
Glenvar HS, Roanoke, VA –
Floyd County has had a tough row to hoe this Spring football season as far as opponents. The Buffaloes lost two close games to Carroll County (20-14) in week one and then Giles (20-18) in the second week, before thumping Alleghany last weekend. This fourth game,the hill to climb would be a little more daunting. The Buffaloes traveled down the mountain to Highlander stadium to take on Glenvar. Don’t let the Highlanders (1-2) record fool you. Glenvar’s schedule this year has also offered up challenges in the form of Stuarts Draft (27-0), a state finalist last year, in a blizzard 
and the ever improving William Fleming Colonels (32-22) this pastTuesday. Floyd ran into another buzzsaw Saturday.
Glenvar jumped on the visitors early and the Highlander defense would never give the Buffaloes any room to score. Glenver won 34-0.

The Eagles were led by RB 11 John Keith with 98 yards on six carries and a score. Seventy four of that came on one big run in the fourth quarter for a touchdown. RB 32 Ronnie Worth also had a good day with 60 yards on five carries and a score. The big call out of the day though was Fort Chiswell’s balanced offensive attack.

First Quarter –
The first quarter got rolling for Glenvar with two scores to jump out to a 14-0 lead. QB 4 Aiden Wolk found his big target WR/DE 44 Jebediah Sechrist on a 12-yard, fourth down toss into the endzone and the big man came up with it. The 6’6”, 275 pound Senior brought it down in a crowd. That got the Highlanders jumpstarted. QB 4 Wolk was at it again on Glenvar’s next series. This time the QB found WR _ Dagan Williams on a 47-yard pitch and catch down to the Floyd three. RB 2 Kyle Hanks did the honors from there making it 14-0 Highlanders.

Second Quarter –
Sechrist made it 21-0 with 5:43 left in the half on a 6-yard out into the endzone. The big Senior is just too much on a play on the ball for most defensive backs. RB 1 Jackie Swanson did most of the work to get the Highlanders into position for the TD. Swanson eight, six, and five.

Those runs sandwiched around a Wolk to TE 17 Gabe Shaffer seventeen yard pass put Coach Kevin Cliffords Highlanders in position. Floyd County wouldn’t help themselves out on the following kickoff. The Highlanders got the a Floyd fumble at the five and they were in business again. Two plays later RB 2 Hanks took it in up the middle for the score. The extra point made it 28-0 at the 4:58 mark. Glenvar tried to add to their lead but Buffaloe’s DB 42 Seth Dunbar picked off Wolk at the Floyd County twenty-three. The half ended with Glenvar up 28-0.

Third Quarter –
Floyd County forced a fumble in the third quarter to end another Highlander drive at their own thirty nine. Meanwhile the Glenvar defense was giving up some passing yards, 134 on the day, but no points. The Highlander defense also held Floyd County to 37 yards on 26 carries. That puts a lot of pressure on an offense to sustain drives and score points.
