This is where it gets really interesting for Jefferson Forest’s gridiron gang.

Having broken the mastery that Glass had over them, the Cavs get a chance to knock off another team that has had its way with Forest.

This Friday night, the Cavs entertain high powered Pulaski County, a team that is often mentioned in discussions of possible state champions.

The Cougars have done nothing that would make such talk unwarranted, having dismantled all opposition in the early going.

In its first three games, Pulaski has outscored its opponents 115-35.

A voter registration booth was open for business outside the gate of the Magna Vista-Liberty football game last Friday.

Meanwhile, a pair of urchins had drawn up a game poster touting “Boo for president,” despite the fact that Carlton “Boo” Payne is many years shy of eligibility for that office.

Into this celebration of democracy stepped the Liberty defense, which keyed a landslide victory, 34-7, over the visiting Warriors.

During the last two seasons, E.C. Glass has managed to cause more damage to JF’s playoff aspirations than any other team.

Two years ago, the Hilltopper defense did just enough to frustrate the Cavs, in winning 14-8.

Last year, Glass cooled down Forest’s hot start to the season, handing the mistake-prone Cavs a 23-17 loss at Sabre Stadium. It was a portent of things to come, as the season unraveled to a large degree and Forest limped home with a 4-6 overall record.

The Seminole District volleyball season kicked into gear last Thursday and one thing is clear: The three county teams appear to be much improved over last year.

How that improvement translates into end-of-season standings remains to be seen, of course.

Liberty visited Staunton River and the Minettes fell to the Golden Eagles 25-20, 18-25, 25-23, 25-22.

Jefferson Forest invaded Heritage, coming away with the sweep, 25-18, 25-12, 25-10.
