George Wythe Outlasts Radford In Defensive Battle

A 24-yard field goal by Michael Hawks as time expired, allowed George Wythe to claim a hard-fought 10-7 win over Radford in non-district football action Friday night in Wytheville.

The Maroons (3-0) took an early 7-0 lead when Alex Willis called his own number and scored from a yard-out with 2:47 on the clock. The Bobcats (1-1) came right back on their next possession to tie the game at 7-7 when Hunter Griffitts galloped 40-yards with 1:00 left in the opening quarter.

Radford, who had 102 yards of offense, was led by 52 yards from Griffitts on eight carries. Hunter Marshall completed 4-of-8 passes for 42 yards. The Bobcats recorded just five first downs.

George Wythe, who tallied 224 yards, was led by Isaac Young, who had 101 yards on 14 carries. The Maroons had 13 first downs.
