There will be better days for Bishop Ireton (0-3) than the football Cardinals experienced on Saturday. The Tigers of Woodberry Forest (2-0)scored on the game’s opening kickoff and never looked back, roaring to a 28-0 halftime lead enroute to a 38-0 win in Woodberry Forest, Virginia Saturday.
The host’s CJ Prosise gathered in the kickoff and raced 90 yards to open the scoring. Ireton struggled to respond and the Tigers scored their second touchdown of the afternoon on a 4th down play to go up 14-0. When quarterback Jacob Ramey rambled up the middle on Woodberry’s third possession 40 yards to score, the Cardinals were reeling. A long punt return set up a second Rue Hockensmith touchdown and the Cardinals, with only 37 yards of offense in the opening half, were in a deep hole.
The second half was much the same as Ireton could muster little offense on the afternoon but played stronger on both sides of the ball, yielding 10 points in the second half.
Ireton returns to Alexandria for a trip to St Stephens, St Agnes to tangle with the cross-town Saints. The red and green hosts look for their first win of the season (0-2) against Ireton as well as the opportunity to break a three-game skid with the Cardinals dating back to a 2007 loss on St Stephens Road when both clubs qualified for the Viriginia Independent Schools Football playoffs. Gametime is 2pm.
