POWHATAN- James Wood's Colonels traveled a rocky path with six losses en route to the Region II playoffs.

Upon arrival here, 30 miles west of Richmond, those bumps in the road became a full-fledged barricade.

The visitors were unable to corral Indians' tailback Ray "Touchdown" Brown, suffered seven turnovers and lost 44-6.

It signaled the end of a 4-7 Wood campaign.

"What can I say, they beat the stuffing out of us," said Wood coach Mike Bolin. "They capitalized on their opportunities, and we didn't on ours."

Brown rushed for a school record 333 yards and scored five touchdowns on sprints of 60, 43, 45, 20 and 70 yards.

On the season, the 177-pound senior has 1,752 yards and 27 TDs.

Next up for Powhatan (9-2, with eight straight wins) is a Region semifinal game versus Louisa.

There were red eyes aplenty afterward as Bolin addressed his Colonels.

Speaking from the heart, Bolin applauded his seniors for their "blood and guts" and warned his underclassmen, saying "we've got work to do."
