Chesapeake JV Boys Claim 15-6 Win Over Northeast

The Chesapeake JV football team secured a winning season at 5-4 with a 15-6 victory in the JV Dena Bowl on November 1.

Ryan Rush scored two touchdowns for Chesapeake in the victory. One came on a short touchdown run in the first half, and the second came on a wild play in the second half in which Northeast blocked a Chesapeake punt in the end zone and nearly came up with a block-six touchdown before the ball was scooped up by Rush and run back 104 yards for a touchdown.

Northeast quarterback Nate Wilburn ran in a touchdown in the fourth quarter for the Eagles’ score.

Chesapeake coach Larry Waters was proud to see his Cougars finish the season on a high note and win the annual rivalry matchup.

“They stepped up today,” Waters said. “We’ve had an up and down season all year long, but we had a hard week of practice, and it paid off today.”
