Blog LIVE Game Blog - Region 5B Semis: #4 Warwick (10-1) at #1 Maury (11-0)

A pass in the end zone on 4th & 8 from the 10 by Warwick is incomplete as Alex Lewis tried on multiple occasions to get it to Dakota Broadus against the second-string Maury defense, but the Commodores come up with a red zone stand.

Maury takes over at their own 10 with 3:12 to play, and I can't help but think if the kicker had made that PAT earlier this game would've probably ended about 25 minutes ago...

Isaiah McDaniel is able to break up the pass by Warwick on 3rd & 18 and the Raiders are forced to punt it away again. Maury takes over at their own 29 after the punt goes out of bounds with 4:24 to play.

The Commodores are likely headed for a day after Thanksgiving date with King's Fork, which leads Nansemond River 28-14 in the fourth quarter right now, in the Region 5B Finals here at Powhatan Field in Norfolk.

Omari Meredith recovers a Maury fumble, the first giveaway of the night by the Commodores. Prior to that play, they were +4 in the turnover margin category on the night,.

That gives Warwick the ball at the 24 of MHS with 4:19 left.

So Maury got stopped on 4th & Goal with QB Au'Tori Newkirk trying to squeeze through for a rushing TD, but the Raiders defensive front with Christian Corbin at tackle and I'Ziah Emery at linebacker made sure to keep him out of the end zone.

No running clock after the defensive TD by Carlton Smith because of the missed PAT. That's a reporter's worst nightmare in a 34-point game, I must tell you!

The Raiders hit a long gainer with Cam Glenn's 31-yard run into Maury territory... but a loss of 23 on a bad snap puts them back on the other side of the 50 with 8:54 to go.
