SPOTSYLVANIA COUNTY SPORTS
Friday Night Football Takes Center Stage
All five Spotsylvania County public high schools are scheduled for varsity football action Friday, Oct. 2, with one all-county matchup highlighting the night.
Kickoff for each game is scheduled for 7 p.m.
GAME OF THE WEEK: COURTLAND AT CHANCELLOR

Chancellor is 1-3 overall and 1-0 in the region. The Chargers picked up their first victory of the season last week with a 26-19 road win over Caroline.
With both teams unbeaten in Battlefield District play, Friday’s game gives one of the county rivals an opportunity to take another early step in the district race.

The Panthers are 3-2 overall and have won two straight games. Massaponax defeated Chancellor 37-14 on Sept. 18 before beating Hartwood 55-26 last Friday.
Friday’s game is a Commonwealth District matchup.

THURSDAY FALL SPORTS
Thursday’s high school schedule also included several county matchups in volleyball and field hockey.
Courtland and Chancellor met in both varsity volleyball and varsity field hockey. Riverbend faced Hartwood in both sports, while Massaponax hosted North Stafford in volleyball and Spotsylvania faced Eastern View.
Some Thursday-night results had not been reliably posted by our publication cutoff. The Gazette would rather leave a result out than publish an unverified score.
NEXT FRIDAY — OCT. 9
The county football schedule continues next week with another Spotsylvania County matchup:
Courtland at Spotsylvania
Chancellor at Culpeper County
Massaponax at North Stafford
Mountain View at Riverbend
Games are scheduled for 7 p.m.
