Westfield vs. Centreville: Dalaun Richardson leads No. 6 Bulldogs to 40-21 victory Motivated by that promise, Richardson ran wild during Friday's rematch in Chantilly. Richardson rushed for a career-high 274 yards and three touchdowns to push the No. 6 Bulldogs to a 40-21 win over the Wildcats. With the win, Westfield (9-0, 4-0) positioned itself for a second straight Concorde District title and a potential top seed in the playoffs heading into next week's regular season finale against Herndon (1-8, 0-4). On all three of Richardson's scores, it appeared the stout Centreville defense had him wrapped up, but the senior kicked off the swiping hands and stiff-armed his way to long runs of 43, 91 and 59 yards. His first score came in the second quarter after a wild four-play sequence featuring two interceptions and a lost fumble. With the game's momentum up for grabs and Westfield well aware of Centreville's ability to rally as it did last week against Chantilly, Richardson broke loose for a 43-yard score to put the Bulldogs up 20-0 with 7 minutes 7 seconds left in the first half. Centreville (6-3, 2-2) responded with its own playmaker in A.J. Turner, who dashed 14 yards for a touchdown to cut the deficit. After watching Westfield rebuild a 24-point lead on Richardson's third score of the night, Centreville threatened again, following up a Charles Tutt touchdown catch with a recovered onside kick. But the young Bulldogs defense stood strong, sacking quarterback Scott Walter and forcing an incomplete pass on fourth down. "As a former defensive coordinator, it's often a painful experience watching the defense but they hang in there," Westfield Coach Kyle Simmons said of a unit that tallied four turnovers. They play within themselves and understand their limits as a young unit, which helps. While the defense played to its potential, Richardson and the rushing attack exceeded theirs, racking up 376 total yards to Centreville's 211 on the ground. In between rushes, quarterback Chris Mullins helped the Bulldogs convert all four of their fourth-down tries, with the final one culminating in a 23-yard touchdown pass to Joe Callas that put Westfield up for good, 40-14, with 1:51 to play.
