The Phantoms move the chains once - a run of 10 yards by Davion Roberts on 2nd & 10 to get to the Hampton 48. From there, the offense goes backwards as Hampton rises to the occasion again defensively. Gene Jones Jr. dropped Roberts for a loss of 5, and then following an incompletion, it's Lavonte Chapman coming free through the middle for a sack of QB Maurikus Banks.

In that case, Banks didn't get rid of the ball quickly, identifying the bubble screen.

Hampton now has it at their own 41 for their second possession of this third quarter with 7:10 on the clock.

The Crabbers go 3 & out - with a 5-yard run from Casey Lassiter, followed by two straight incomplete passes. Defensively, Phoebus has kept the Crabbers from finding that balance and rhythm they seek.

Phoebus now has their second offensive possession of the third period at their own 25 with 5:58 left in the third quarter.

Phoebus fumbles the opening kickoff of the 2nd half with Hampton's Xavier Whisenant recovering it for the Crabbers at the Phantoms 16.

Two impressive stops behind the line of scrimmage for the Phoebus defense as it is first Nijay Gay flying through to dump Sindey Johnson for minus 4. Then, it's LB Brenden Thompson on a blitz up the middle coming free to drop Marcus Chapman for a loss of 10. An incomplete pass by Chapman brings up 4th & 20 from the 30, where the Crabbers definitely have to go to the air.

While some of that might be expected in a city rivalry game and I am not questioning the justification, when you're dropping flags on every play, particularly for controllable player behavior, that tells me officials AND coaches need to step in. Call both coaches over, tell them if they cannot control their players you will via disqualification. A clean or semi-clean game between these two has the potential to be entertaining but, a flag fest is more like a root canal.

Kings Fork 33 Indian River 7

wgarlick
Kings Fork spotted Indian River a 7-0 lead then held them scoreless the rest of the game in a big 33-7 Southeastern District win. Senior JaVon Ford ran for 175 yards and two touchdowns as the Bulldogs improved to 5-0.

Indian River took a 7-0 lead on a 20-yard touchdown completion from junior quarterback Kamaari Kirby to receiver Jason Preston with3:57 remaining in the 1st quarter. The Braves defense forced a punt on the next Kings Fork possession, but a muffed punt was recovered by Jahmel Mackey at the 12-yard line. Three plays later, Ford scored from seven yards out to tie the game 7-7 early in the 2nd quarter.

The next time Kings Fork got the ball, they again used the Braves generosity in a 76-yard scoring drive. Indian River was called for a facemask and a pass interference. Ford broke free on a 41-yard run then ended the drive with a 14-yard touchdown run that gave the Bulldogs a 14-7 lead.

The 2nd half was all Kings Fork as their defense forced three turnovers. Senior Zach Walton and sophomore Reginald Davis had interceptions. Junior Joshua Pittman added a sack and intense pressure in the back field while Shimyael Holt (6-foot-5, 304) controlled the line of scrimmage.

Junior quarterback D'andre Artis Boone connected with junior Zydareyus Wynn for a 49-yard touchdown to extend the lead to 21-7 early in the 3rd quarter. Artis-Boone completed 9 of 17 passes for 101 yards and a touchdown.

Sophomore Jean Pierre Bile added a 29-yard in the 3rd quarter and a 32-yard field goal in the 4th quarter for a 27-7 Kings Fork lead.

Ernest Jones returned a fumble for a touchdown to complete the scoring.

Is that reminiscent of Tidewater officiating normally? There seemed like there was laundry on the field almost every play in the last part of the first half. Phoebus looks physically superior to Hampton much like Hampton looked against their opponents in their heyday.

Brenden Thompson from his linebacker spot breaks up a Marcus Chapman pass and now the Crabbers sophomore signal caller is going through some of the growing pains we saw earlier from Maurikus Banks of Phoebus. Both have the look of being D-1 prospects, yet these two defenses aren't making life easy on either.

Chapman started 5 of 6 for 91 yards, but is now just 1 of 6 for 5 yards since that point, including an interception. His latest incomplete brings up 3rd & 10 from the 38 with 32 seconds to go in the first half.

Really shrewd play call by Hampton when the defense is thinking pass, they hit them with the outside run with Casey Lassiter as the Phantoms failed to seal the edge. It's a gain of 28 by Casey Lassiter, who scoots out of bounds at the PHS 34 with 24 seconds showing on the first half clock.

Chapman doesn't see Sidney Johnson wide open on the far side of the field and instead tries to force one along the sideline that is incomplete. Boy, I know he'd like to have that one back and will see it on film later.

Oh, and here's an update on the penalty situation for all of you...

Marcus Chapman puts a pass on the money that WR NahMari Boyd is unable to hang on to, but the Crabbers are able to move the sticks on 2nd & 7 with a 3-yard run, followed by a 15-yard personal foul / late hit penalty on the Phantoms.

For Phoebus, that is now 10 penalties for 80 yards - - a few more than the 7 for 60 yards by the Crabbers.

Phoebus Coach Jeremy Blunt will burn one of its two remaining time-outs with 45 seconds to go in the first half, looking to preserve this 11-point lead as the Crabbers have it at their own 38-yard line.

Hampton's defense comes up with a 3 & out and they look much better and in sync than they did when I saw them against King George last month. NahMari Boyd, Sexton Grissett II and Da'Javon Saunders all comes up to drop WR Tyree Diggs for a loss of a yard on a quick screen pass. The next two runs for Davion Roberts yield mixed results for the Phantoms; a gain of 7 and no gain on 3rd & 4. Credit Saunders and Devan Anthony for making the stuff.

Following a time-out by Phoebus with 1:15 to go in the second quarter, the Phantoms might've thought about going for it on 4th & 4 from their own 46, but will do the more prudent thing and that is punt it away to a Crabbers team still holding two time-outs.

Casey Lassiter catches a swing pass for about five yards for Hampton to start their last drive, which if I'm keeping track correctly is their fourth of the half. Facing a crucial 3rd & 5, it's QB Marcus Chapman taking off to scramble and he is absolutely leveled by Phoebus DB Nijay Gay, who's committed to play his College Football at North Carolina Central. Chapman fumbled on the run, but fortunately for him and the Crabbers, they were able to recover.

Woodrow Wilson's Crabbers will burn a time-out before a key 4th & 7 play, following a false start penalty, from their own 36 with 3:36 to go in the second quarter.

Hampton punts it away and Phobeus has it at their own 40 with 3:25 to go in the half, trying to add to their 14-3 lead before the break.

A BIG stop by the Hampton defense. Davion Roberts gets stopped for a gain of about 3 on 2nd & 10.

Casey Lassiter nearly gets an INT for the Hampton defense on the 4th & 7 pass by Maurikus Banks.

So after the fantastic start for Banks with a 60-yard TD to Noah Jefferson, he's misfired on his last three passes. Sometimes the growing pains you'll see with a sophomore.

Now the Crabbers' tenth grader that's the triggerman, Marcus Chapman, tries to capitalize with the Crabbers down by 11 and at their own 33 with 5:03 to go in the first half.

Noah Jefferson telegraphed that and also baited the QB into making that one.

Hampton is now starting to implode a bit with three penalties on this series defensively, including a 15-yard personal foul and consecutive encroachment flags. Mixed in was a strong run from Davion Roberts of 24 yards out to midfield.

Correction on the consecutive offsides penalties because the officials actually call a false start, rather than an offsides, on the Phantoms.

Nonetheless, with 5:54 till half-time, we're looking at 13 total penalties in this game for 110 yards. Seven flags on Phoebus and six penalties on Hampton.

This continues the trend from the past two games I saw, where Green Run got hit with 16 penalties on Friday in its win at Salem and Lafayette had 14 in its romp of Grafton on Thursday.

After getting held in check via the ground game, Hampton attacks via the pass and they get a real generous gift through a questionable pass interference penalty called on the Phantoms on a 3rd & 10 from their own 35 to move them up to midfield.

Sophomore QB Marcus Chapman makes a great read and an even better throw, hitting Davion Perry for a 13-yard completion. Phoebus needs someone to step up and make a play defensively to halt this drive.

FINAL: Sherando: 51 Warren County 0

With this schedule , no business playing Warren County . With that said , the Handley game will be a big game . Handley has more speed and size than Sherando , Sherando being a deeper and more experienced team. winner takes the Northwestern. The freshman Handley QB might the fastest I have seen in a long time. Kettle Run a formidable opponent and still a threat but not what it was a few years ago. Not sure 25 is coming back now , heard some other issues needed taken care of.
This Sherando team is a good solid team, but in NO Way have the talent or speed of some of the better Sherando teams of the past 20 or so years. They are well coached , and are beating up on some teams that are not very good. I also have to take into account from what I am hearing is that you have to take into account the whole Region is not what it used to be this year.
I worry about a real awakening for them come playoff time , with only one game being a real challenge.
Click to expand...
Agree with this. I may be wrong but I’d wager to say Handley and KR will beat Sherando. Being battle tested early is critical for maintaining focus down the stretch on games like this one and I could also see Millbrook game being more competitive than some may think.

My fear with the lopsided wins is a Superman complex where they will start a game flat against a quality opponent and play catchup in that game to have a chance at winning. Hopefully coach has them focused.
