On the first play of the game, G.W.'s Tyrone Robertson crushed Chantilly quarterback Mike Scipione on a play action play. The runner, Mark Matthie, fumbled---
	---G.W.'s Larry Oliver recovered---
---and G.W.'s John Dickerson scored a touchdown moments later to make it 7-0, just minutes into the game.
