MID-ATLANTIC

Nico Williamson, James Madison (Va.)

Following a timeout, Madison entrusted the ball to Williamson up top and he delivered the game-winner to keep the season going. The senior midfielder sprinted left and fired in a shot with 1:47 left in overtime to win the Class 6 state quarterfinal game over Battlefield (Va.) 8-7. Battlefield had beaten the Warhawks in the regular season. Madison also won, 8-7, over Yorktown (Va.) to take the Class 6 Region D championship in the game before with Williamson scoring twice and adding an assist while Gray Byrne scored four goals.
