Based on their five consecutive playoff appearances and a 15-9 record over the past two years, it appears as though the Panthers are knocking on that exclusive door. The Broad Run Spartans however, led by seventh year Head Coach Matt Griffis, had other ideas as the two teams met at Broad Run on Friday night to open the 2018 season. The Panthers won the toss and elected to defer. This brought out the high-powered Spartan's offense, led by junior quarterback Matt Griffis and junior running back Tim Baldwin. The two wasted little time as the Spartans drove down the field in eight plays covering 80 yards. Griffis hit three different receivers totaling 50 yards, and Baldwin went for 36 yards on his four carries, including a 9-yard run for the first touchdown of the season. On their first drive, the Panthers could only muster a yard before being forced to punt. Once again relying on a balanced attack, the Spartans marched 93 yards on seven plays. A Griffis toss to senior Dominic Brazina for 47 yards did most of the damage, with Baldwin adding 40 more yards on 5 rushes, including his second touchdown. Potomac Falls was once again able to only gain a yard on their second possession. On the next Spartan possession, Griffis was faced with a 3rd and 17, but found sophomore Jake Busser for a gain of 28. A swing pass to Baldwin went for 19 more before Griffis scored on a keeper from 3 yards out. Finding themselves down 21-0 midway through the second quarter, the Panthers did manage a first down, but were unable to consistently string anything together. On the defensive side, the Panthers had some success in pressuring Griffis, including a sack by junior linebacker Owen Kitcoff. The Spartan offensive line, which returns only one starter from last year (senior captain Josh Hineman), regrouped in time for Griffis to hit senior tight end Everett Drake for a 32-yard gain. With only a few ticks left on the clock before halftime, Griffis hit Busser in stride in the back of the end zone for a 28-0 lead. The Panthers came out on offense to start the third quarter and put together their best drive of the night. After being flushed out of the pocket, junior quarterback William Misch was able to roll to his left and hit a long pass for 35 yards. Later, facing a 4th and 16, Misch was able to convert by scrambling for 17. The Panther's drive stalled, however, and the Spartans took over on downs. Three straight holding calls on the Spartans left them with a 2nd and 35 from their own 12. Griffis found Luke Lindenfeldar streaking down the sideline for an apparent 88 yard touchdown. A block in the back call against the Spartans brought back the touchdown, but the play still resulted in a 39-yard gain. Junior Romy Miner then made a diving catch for 40 yards to put Broad Run in field goal range. Spartan's placekicker Dylan Young ended his perfect night by banging home a 29-yard field goal that would complete the scoring with 1:23 left in the 3rd quarter. Senior Connor Johnson recovered a fumble for the Spartans on the Panther's last drive to preserve the shut out for Broad Run. Griffis looked more than sharp in completing 18 of 21 passes for 306 yards and a touchdown, while running for another. Baldwin totaled 116 yards rushing on 15 carries and added two touchdowns rushing. Things aren't all bad for the Panthers, as their young lineman on both sides of the ball played more consistently in the second half. They are a young team who had to play without their unquestioned leader, senior Dean Ferguson, a Virginia Tech commit who will line up on both sides of the ball for Potomac Falls. For the Spartans, senior Alec Solano quickly made his presence felt in his first game with the Spartans at linebacker, as did junior transfer Romy Miner. Spartan captain Ryan Gorey was effusive after the game, praising Coach Terrance Glenn on his first game as defensive coordinator, "We love Coach Gordon, but we really wanted to get the shut out for Coach Glenn. It feels good to look up and see a zero up there for his first game.” Gorey realizes that he and his mates need to clean up a few things, especially before they venture to Leesburg next Friday to face the defending regional champions on their home turf. "We have to cut down on the penalties and play disciplined football, especially against teams like Tusky." The Panthers will host their cross-town rivals next week as the Dominion Titans, coming off a comeback win against Clarke County, come to town. The Spartans know their next opponent well, as they and the Huskies have met four times over the past two seasons. Tuscarora is coming off an impressive win of their own in their opener, a 35-7 win over King George, and will host Broad Run on Friday.

It may have been the claps of thunder that caused the overnight delay in the highly anticipated rematch between the Tuscarora Huskies and the Broad Run Spartans on Friday night, but it was lightning in the form of a quick pass from junior quarterback Mitch Griffis to senior receiver Luke Lindenfeldar that propelled the Spartans a 7-0 lead less than 20 seconds into the game.
