Warwick 49 Hampton 0

Junior quarterback Saeed Williams Jr threw four touchdown passes and ran for three more to lead Warwick to a 49-0 win over Hampton. Receiver Julio Carrecter had a big senior night game catching three touchdown receptions for the Raiders who improved to 8-0.

Warwick scored on their first four possessions to lead 28-0 after the 1st quarter. Williams added a 62-yard touchdown run in the 2nd quarter and completed a 10-yard touchdown pass to Carrecter before the end of the 1st half.

The entire 2nd half was played with a running clock. Carrecter took a short pass from Williams and weaved thru traffic for a 71-yard touchdown reception for the Raiders final points.

Hampton had one chance to end the shutout on a strange fumble in the 4th quarter. Williams was pressured and in the grasp of the Hampton defender. He attempted to pass but was swung around in the opposite direction and the backward pass travel 50 yards before being recovered by Hampton at the Warwick 4-yard line.

However, four plays yielded a minus 28 yards including a sack by defensive lineman Christian Corbin to preserve the Warwick shutout.

Westfield 42 - Oakton 6

Westfield scored on their first four drives and cruised to a 42-6 win. Oakton's offense managed to gain some yards but they could not sustain drives and other than a single scoring drive just before the half were unable to penetrate deep into Westfield's half of the field.

OAK started the game on their own 20 yard line and on the first play of the game QB Martin found R. Henriques down the visitor's sideline for a 31 yard pass to near midfield. There OAK stalled and punted the ball to WF, who took over on their own 35 yard line. WF drove to the OAK 31 yard line where they faced a 4th and one, but a 30 yard run by H. Johnson gave WF a first and goal at the one. WF's Carlson then took it in from a yard out to open the scoring, 7-0 WF (Wiemann XP) with 4:21 remaining in the first quarter. OAK's R. Henriques had another big play on the next OAK possession, a 32 yard run to the WF 43 yard line, but the OAK offense stalled again and they again punted. WF then put together a 72 yard drive and scored on a 43 yard Carlson to Morin pass to extend the lead to 14-0 (Wiemann XP) with 10:06 remaining in the first half. OAK's next possession was a three and out deep inside OAK territory and a short punt gave WF the ball on the OAK 36 yard line. WF quickly scored again, on another Carlson one yard run, and the lead grew to 21-0 (Wiemann XP) with 5:39 remaining in the second quarter. OAK started their next possession after the KO with more bad field position at their own 11 yard line. On this drive, OAK's R. Henriques fumbled and WF's Coffield recovered on the OAK 11 yard line. Twenty eight seconds later WF scored again when Lee ran it in from 5 yards out and the lead was now 28-0 (Wiemann XP) with 5:06 remaining in the half. OAK's next possession began at their own 34 yard line and they began to move the ball downfield, helped by WF jumping off sides on a 4th and two at the WF 47 yard line. After reaching the WF 13 yard line, a penalty and a sack for a loss of eight yards pushed OAK back to outside the red zone, but Martin still found C. Henriques in the back corner of the end zone for a 21 yard passing TD to cut the lead to 28-6 (WF's Morin blocked Tapp's XP) with 25 seconds left in the half. WF's Rennyson then took the KO back 80 yards for what appeared to be a TD but a holding call negated the score. WF still attempted to score again before the half ended, but Carlson's long pass was intercepted by OAK's Seymour at the OAK 29 yard line and the half ended.

WF started the second half with a 64 yard scoring drive capped by Carlson's four yard passing TD to H. Thompson to push the lead to 35-6 (Wiemann XP) with 6:31 to play in the third quarter. After another OAK start deep in their own territory, three plays netted eight yards and OAK lined up to punt. The shanked punt went out of bounds and gave WF the ball on the OAK 25 yard line. This time OAK's Tapp again stopped WF with an INT of WF's Carlson, this one at the WF two yard line. OAK gained a few yards to get away from their goal line before a high snap sailed over QB Martin's head and WF's Payne recovered it for a defensive score on the first play of the fourth quarter. With the score now 42-6 (Wiemann XP) OAK began a long methodical drive, mostly on the ground, and managed to convert two fourth downs along the way - a 4th and two at the OAK 44 yard line (R. Henriques three yard run) and a 4th and four at the WF 36 yard line (Martin to Vasquez 7 yard pass) before time ran out and the game ended with OAK just outside the red zone.

Sherando 42, Millbrook 0 + Crazy scenes from WV

Warriors looked good tonight outside of a handful of bad penalties. No love lost between these two programs lol. Didn't look like Millbrook had any sort of passing game, and I have no idea how they played Kettle Run close until the 4th quarter.

Had Sherando not been playing tonight I might've taken the short trip up to WV to watch the Martinsburg/Spring Mills game. Spring Mills is also located in Martinsburg and is finally starting to reach their potential. Both teams were undefeated coming into the game, with Spring Mills having outscored opponents 331-6 up until this point. WV as a whole isn't close to VA in terms of overall talent, but these two teams are much closer to the good 5A NOVA teams in size and speed than a typical good WV team. Apparently this was the line to get into the stadium two hours prior to kickoff:

Heard on the broadcast that over 7,000 people showed up for the game, and having watched it on YT I'd imagine that's conservative. Over 4,500 people watched the stream live. The only time I've seen that kind of crowd in Stephens City was for the 2007 Sherando/James Wood playoff game.

Martinsburg won 17-12.

How old are the schools/football stadiums in your district?

I posted the following on the Class 1 Board about 21 hours ago and have yet to get a response, so I thought I'd try here!

In the NND here are my best guesses:
Lancaster around '73 or '74. Football stadium I believe opened in 1977. They are getting a new school, etc in two years.
Westmoreland's new school opened in 2022. But, they just started playing football on campus this year.
Northumberland was built around the mid-2000s I believe. Might require some help here.
Portions of Rappahannock date back to 1963. They started playing football at their current stadium in 1977 or 1978. New lights were installed around 20 or so years ago.
Essex's school site dates back to 1971 but it underwent a significant renovation around 2010 and it now looks nothing like the original. Still two-stories. The football stadium, which has undergone significant renovations the past 5 years (new lights, new scoreboard, new home bleachers, press box), opened in 1976.
Colonial Beach??? I'm guessing the school dates back to the 60s or early 70s? No idea about the football stadium but new home bleachers and a new press box were installed in time for this season.
Only other local school I'm fairly knowledgeable about is King and Queen Central. They started playing football at the present location in 1974. It was reconfigured sometime in the early-to-mid 1990s with modern lights and home and visitors seating. A new lighting system was installed last year. The school I believe dates back to the 1960s (possibly earlier) and underwent renovations in the 1990s.
As far as other Tidewater schools are concerned, I do know that Middlesex and King William are on their second stadiums. I believe Charles City is also as they once played their home games at the county's parks and recreation facility. West Point's stadium is in the general area of the original which was located behind where the home bleachers stand now. the original ran east-west while the present one is south-north. I believe Mathews plays at its original stadium. A new, digital scoreboard was installed there some years ago.
Any corrections would be appreciated
