CENTRAL GARAGE - A season-opening loss is one to forget for most teams. Not for the King William football team. The Cavaliers lost to Essex in August and vowed that they would see the Trojans again. The rematch takes place next Saturday at Essex because King William defeated Washington & Lee 27-20, and Essex remained undefeated with a 49-8 victory over Nandua in Region A, Division 2 playoff semifinals last night.

The first-string defense for the Powhatan football team hasn’t spent much time on the field this season, especially in the second half of games. The Indians’ defense has four shutouts to its credit and has allowed just 47 points the entire year. The rub is that only one opponent finished with a winning record. The combined records of the 10 opponents is 33-64.

King William amassed 223 yards total on the ground scored all six of its scores were rushing as the Cavaliers defeated King and Queen yesterday. Lewis Redman threw for 80 yards and a touchdown as the Cavaliers improved to 8-2. Larry Johnson had two scoring runs of five yards apiece. King and Queen fell to 1-9 for the season.
