The Botetourt Redwolves are in the Sandlot Super Bowl Little Division championship after defeating Glenvar in the semifinal last Saturday. Botetourt won 14-6 at Bogle Field in Roanoke County in the tournament for age 10 and under players.
Jairdan Pennix scored Botetourt’s first touchdown for a 6-0 halftime lead, but Glenvar tied the game in the third quarter on a fumble recovery that was returned for a score. Both teams missed extra point kick attempts.
The game stayed tied into the fourth quarter, but Botetourt broke the deadlock on a sustained drive that culminated in a Christopher Paderick touchdown run, and Botetourt was able to hold off a late Glenvar possession for the win.
In the other semifinal, the Salem Spartans defeated Vinton, 28-6. Top seeded Botetourt and second seeded Salem will play in the final at Salem Stadium this Saturday at noon. They met once in the regular season with Botetourt taking an 8-6 win. The Redwolves are undefeated and their win over Salem was the Spartans’ only loss.
