Battlefield 21, Mountain View 18: Calum O’Shea threw three touchdown passes and visiting Battlefield ended Mountain View’s previously undefeated season in the Region 6B semifinals.
The Wildcats took the lead earlier on a Connor Bugni field goal, followed by a Torie Martin touchdown run, but were unable to stop explosive plays from the Battlefield offense.
The Bobcats scored 21 unanswered points, dramatically changing the momentum of both teams.
Mountain View (11-1) added another touchdown on a Martin run and was successful on the 2-point conversion, but they couldn’t do much after that and a late Aaron Barber fumble sealed the game.
Battlefield (12-0) will visit Freedom-Woodbridge in next weekend’s regional final.

Liberty (Woodbridge) 52, Colonial Forge 16: Colonial Forge’s season came to an end Friday night at the hands of the reigning state champions.
Freedom (Woodbridge) defeated the Eagles, 52-16, in the Region 6B semifinals and will advance to the regional finals next week.
Freedom (11-0) jumped ahead quickly with a long touchdown pass on the second play from scrimmage and built a 25-point lead before Forge’s Brock Brimhall hit Ethen Horne for a 59-yard score to finish the first half.
Horne ran a kickoff 80 yards to make it a two-score game in the third quarter, but Freedom’s Juju Preston caught two more touchdown passes from Tristan Evans-Portillo, and Jeff Overton ran in his third touchdown to give Freedom the comfortable final margin. .
