Blue Ridge senior Justin Armwood was named the Falcon Club Player of the Week on Tuesday, Nov. 8. This is the second time this season he has achieved this honor. Here is Justin’s interview with Channel 29 Sports Director Marty Hudtloff:
“Its amazing,” says Armwood. “Its a blessing from God. I just thank my team and God for giving me this opportunity.”
Armwood passed for 110 yards and three touchdowns in the Barons’ three-point win over Trinity Episcopal Friday.
The senior quarterback also had 94 yards rushing and a touchdown on the ground.
“The offensive line was clicking and the defense was doing well. Overall, we played well as a team.”
“He had just taken the SAT test that morning and actually came to the game late,” says Blue Ridge head coach Tim Thomas. “He and a couple of other guys were taking it in Richmond, so in terms of him coming in and being able to focus to play a game like that, against a really good team, just says a lot about Justin’s character.”
Blue Ridge finished its season with a record of 7-2 and will play at Atlantic Shores Christian this Friday, for the VISAA Division II State Semifinals.
The Falcon Club was founded in Charlottesville, Virginia in 1950 by a small group of men who felt a need to provide a united means for recognizing, promoting and assisting local youth involved in sports. FALCON is an acronym for From A Little Comes Others Needs.
