Prep football playoffs: Freshman Black’s 6 TDs lead GW over Oak Hill | Sports

George Washington isn’t in the habit of losing games at Steve Edwards Sr. Field — especially during the playoffs — and the Patriots reinforced that notion Friday night in grand fashion.

Freshman Jaden Black ran for 221 yards and six touchdowns — all in the first half — and GW recovered four onside kicks to fuel a furious start as it captured a 58-14 victory over Oak Hill in the first round of the Class AAAA playoffs.
