Amherst County (11-1 Overall) @ Pulaski County (12-0)

The Cougars haven't been scored on the past eight quarters, With two wins in the playoffs (Blacksburg 42-0 and Salem 38-0) PC looks to Amherst County as the true test of its armour. The Lancers only loss came at the hands of the #1 Group AA team Brookville earlier in the year. AC is the defending Group AA D-4 state champs (two years in a row) and play with confidence. They are not intimidated by the size or speed of PC. The Cougars are led by senior running back Nubian Peak- Virginia Tech bound- and the best defense in this part of the state. PC isn't intimidated by the Lancer size or speed either.
