BLUEMONT, Va.-  Plenty of action to report on in this weeks version of the Northern Valley Football Wrap Up. We start off with the Clarke County Sports Game of the Week, the "Battle of Route 7".

The Millbrook Pioneers (2-1) made a valiant comeback as they defeated the Clarke County Eagles (1-1) 20-14 at Wilbur M. Feltner Stadium in Berryville.

The win snapped Clarke's 23 game regular season winning streak. The Eagles last regular season loss came at the hands of Manassas Park when the Cougars defeated the Eagles 40-28 on October 19, 2012. A bid for a third consecutive undefeated regular fell short.
