Washington outlasted Warrenton in a game that bore a striking resemblance to the 2010 showdown between these GAC rivals.
The Blue Jays edged the Warriors with an identical 35-34 finish that was again determined in the final moments.
With his team trailing 34-32, Luke Hoemann kicked a 18-yard field goal with 12.1 seconds remaining to secure the victory.
Following a 30-minute lightning delay that interrupted the first quarter, Warrenton took a 6-0 lead on a 46-yard pass from T.J. Lafaver to Devin Roberts.
Washington struck back with two unanswered touchdowns, including a 26-yard run by Kyle Summers, who proved to be virtually unstoppable on the ground.
Roberts countered by returning the ensuing kickoff for a touchdown.
Summer added a 12-yard run before half to give the Blue Jays a 20-12 advantage at the break.
Washington attacked quickly into the third quarter, as quarterback Luke Hasenjaeger hit Brock Hopkins on a 36-yard scoring strike.
Warrenton then began to climb its way out of a 26-12 deficit.
Lafaver connected with Luke Darity and Roberts on touchdown passes, and the Warriors were successful on a fourth-quarter two-point conversion to go ahead 28-26.
Each team traded short scoring runs, with Warrenton taking command on a four-yard scamper by Devin Ray.
Washington answered with its own form of power running, eventually splitting the uprights for the win.
The Blue Jays improved to 2-1, while the Warriors fell to 0-3.
