The Hylton Bulldogs beat the Osbourn Eagles Friday night at home 35 to 13. The Bulldogs of Woodbridge led the Eagles of Manassas the entire game.
The most explosive play in the first half of the game came when C.D. Hylton’s Kris Thornton ran the ball 60 yards deep into Osbourn territory for the touchdown. It was one of five touchdown plays led by Hylton quarterback Donovan Williams.
The Hylton Bulldogs played at home Friday nightWoodbridge facing the Osbourn Eagles, of Manassas. The score was 14-7 following the play.
This is week two of prep football action in the region. Both Hylton and Osbourn came into the game zero and one.
A big play in the 2nd half — Hylton’s Ricky Slade number 3 ran 25 years to score another touchdown with 3:41 left in the 2nd half, extending Hylton’s lead by seven points.
Osbourn came alive in the later in the 2nd quarter and looked liked they wanted to score, with more visible drive and determination by quarterback Anthony Pearson. A holding call against the team with 1:14 left in the quarter slowed down the Manassas team.
Then, Hylton intercepted the ball on the five-yard line with 33 seconds to go in the half. Williams connected well with Slade, and Benson while picking up small passes.
For Osbourn, Pearson threw a 42-yard pass for the touchdown early in the 3rd quarter. Later in the quarter, Hylton’s DiVijan Franklin intercepted a pass by Eagles quarterback Anthony Pearson.
With the Eagles, fumbled the play with 9:54 left in the 4th quarter. That set up a touchdown pass for Hylton’s Justin Torian, number six. It was the third catch for Torian for the night.
“We did some good things out there tonight, and we’ve got lot of things that we need to get corrected and do better at” said Hylton Head Football Coach Tony Lilly. “We’re a young team, and we’ve got a lot of young players that haven’t played varsity ball.”
Hylton was plagued by penalties Friday night, something Lilly says he will focus on for next week’s home game against Patriot High School, of Nokesville. Patriot is now 1-1 after the team’s 54-6 loss against Forest Park in Woodbridge.
“Patriot is a good team. They score a lot of points, and have a lot of discipline. And that is what we are going to instill in our guys this week,” added Lilly while still on the field Friday night.
This was the second loss this season for the Eagles and the team’s former Washington Redskin, head coach Chris Samuels. Osbourn will take on the Potomac Senior High School Panthers next week in Woodbridge.
