Gallery: AAA No. 2 Spring Valley dominant, into first semifinal

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. — Spring Valley on Friday night made quick work of South Charleston, drubbing the Black Eagles 55-7 in the quarterfinal round of the playoffs.

“We played really, really well on all parts of the game,” said Spring Valley coach Brad Dingess. “We forced a lot of turnovers and our offense capitalized.”

The Timberwolves (11-1) forced five turnovers and led 48-0 at the half after six scoring possessions in the second quarter alone.

“It was very quick how it turned over,” Dingess said. “You blink, look up and it’s 41-0. That was one of the craziest quarters I’ve ever been around.”

It was the 10th win in a row for Spring Valley as the Timberwolves are into the semifinals for the first time in school history.

“We’ve been getting better and better every week,” Dinges said. “Our kids are hungry, excited to play and excited to practice. It’s the hardest working group of kids that I’ve ever had. This is huge for the program, we had only ever won one playoff game in school’s history coming into this year. We just keep knocking off these goals that we have set – now we get a semifinal game at home.”

Mason Brubeck and Owen Porter both scored a pair of touchdowns apiece in the win for Spring Valley. The Timberwolves will face either Capital or Jefferson in the semifinals.
