Lake Braddock Football: Unbeaten Bruins Visit Centreville Friday

CLIFTON, VA — Its unbeaten streak on the line, Lake Braddock visits Centreville tonight at 7 in what likely will be a soggy affair perfectly suited for the run — something that no doubt suits the Bruins just fine.

Lake Braddock (4-0), which moved up a spot to No. 5 in the latest Washington Post prep football rankings among area schools from Virginia, D.C. and Maryland, beat the Wildcats 33-7 at home last season.

Centreville (3-1) won its first three games by an average of 34 points before stumbling last week with a 21-14 loss against Tuscarora. The Wildcats are led by running back Julian Garrett, who has run for six touchdowns and 294 yards.

The Bruins, meanwhile, feature University of Virginia recruit Lamont Atkins, the area's third leading rusher with 855 yards, behind only Meech Hembry of Broad Run (1,069) and Adrian Platt of Seneca Valley (915).

Atkins also has rushed for 12 touchdowns.
