Simply put, it was the Tamir Walker show. The Wolverine running back might have broken the Peninsula record of eight touchdowns in a game, held by Marshawn Williams, if he had run more than once in the second half.

NEWPORT NEWS – Tamir Walker scored
five touchdowns in the first half, to lead Woodside to a convincing 42-0 victory
over Warwick.
With the win, the Wolverines
(3-2, 3-1 Peninsula) retained a share of third place in the Peninsula District,
trailing undefeated Hampton and Phoebus.
Walker opened the game with a
75-yard kickoff return, then scampered 15 more on the first offensive play for
the Wolverine’s
first touchdown. Two possessions later, the junior back took a handoff and scored
from four yards out.
Walker’s third and fourth
touchdowns were spectacular for different reasons. After a missed field goal by
the Raiders, he took the ensuing handoff and outsprinted the Warwick defense 80
yards to the end zone. On the fourth, Walker started on a sweep to the right,
found no running room, backtracked left and six yards behind the line of
scrimmage before refocusing his bearings and heading downfield, catching a
block down the left sideline from a Woodside receiver and beating a Raider
safety to the goal line for a 34-yard touchdown.
Walker capped his evening with a
one-yard plunge through the middle just before halftime, as Woodside took a
35-0 lead into the break.
In the first half alone, he had
nine carries for 171 yards and 246 total yards. With the game in hand, and a
running clock in place for the second half, Walker carried only one more time
for four yards.
Good led the Raiders (1-3, 0-3
Peninsula) with 103 yards rushing.
