James River senior Nick Austin is the two-time defending Central Region individual champion. Late in Cosby’s Dominion District football game against Monacan on Friday night, Titans quarterback Fuller Hoepner called his own number on third and 7 instead of passing or handing off to running back Terry Williams. Hoepner, a 6-0, 185-pound junior, ran the quarterback draw and picked up 16 yards to the Monacan 1-yard line and set up Williams’ game-clinching TD.

Regular-season champion Deep Run rolled to victory in the Colonial District golf tournament yesterday at Hanover Country Club. The Wildcats posted a four-score total of 315 to finish 14 strokes in front of Patrick Henry. The Wildcats already had earned a berth in next week’s Central Region tournament at Lakeside Country Club and River’s Bend Golf Course via the regular-season title. Tournament runner-up Patrick Henry claimed the district’s second spot in the eight-team field.

Antone Exum tossed five touchdowns and ran for another as Deep Run, No. 3 in the Times-Dispatch Top 10 Poll, defeated John Marshall 51-20 last night in each team’s Colonial District opener.

Deadline for nominations for the Scholar-Athlete award for September is Oct. 8.
