SHENANDOAH JUNCTION - Jefferson fell behind early, rallied to take the lead and then held on for a 24-22 victory over John Champe, Virginia, on Friday night, extending its winning streak to five straight games.

Jefferson's comeback began with less than a minute remaining in the first half, when Jackson Rockwell found Ricardo Lewis on an 8-yard touchdown pass just inside the goal line to make it 15-7 at the half.
