A couple of takeaways from last Friday's doubleheader at Todd. First, I am going to gloat a little bit about my predictions which were displayed here and at recruit757.com.
 |
| Woodside's Tamir Walker was in beast mode against Menchville last Friday night, gaining 251 total yards of rushing and receiving, as well as 4 touchdowns. |
For the Heritage-Warwick contest, I predicted a 35-21 final. As you see, it was 36-18. For the nightcap, I mentioned that last year's game was 49-0 in favor of Woodside, and the only difference this year might be that Menchville would score once or twice. Final score -- 46-7 Woodside.
But looking at the Peninsula District, it was good to see Heritage bounce back from a 54-0 spanking in Week 1, while Warwick looked to be improved from last year's 2-8 team.
In Game 2, Tamir Walker of Woodside is looking like a beast. He ended up with 88 yards rushing, 153 receiving and FOUR touchdowns! Woodside will once again be a team to beat in the PD, and I'd probably rank the top 4 as Hampton, Phoebus, Woodside, Bethel (in spite of 0-2 record).

HERITAGE 36,
WARWICK 18
NEWPORT NEWS –
The Heritage Hurricanes avenged a 54-point loss to Lake Taylor last week,
upending Warwick 36-18 on Friday at Todd Stadium.
After a
scoreless first quarter, Heritage (1-1) got on the board first, gaining two points
when the Warwick snap from punt formation went over their punter’s head and
rolled out of the end zone. The Hurricanes put their first solid drive together
(nine plays, 64 yards) later, but it fizzled on fourth down at the Raider 9. On
their next possession, starting at midfield, running back Roy Johnson III found
daylight down the left sideline and sprinted past the Warwick defense for a
50-yard score. Khari Greene’s extra point gave the Canes a 9-0 lead with nine
minutes left in the first half.
Warwick (1-1)
put together its own long drive, highlighted by a 23-yard Demonte Good run and
finished with a two-yard quarterback sneak by D.J. Nunn, which closed the lead
to 9-6.
But Heritage
roared back. QB Jeremiah Boyd (eight for 15, 190 yards, 2 TD’s, int) found a
wide-open Amonyae Watson down the right seam and the wide receiver galloped the
last ten yards for a 40-yard TD.
The Hurricanes
momentum blew over into the second half. Tre’Sean Shackleford, who had been
held to 11 yards rushing in the first half, found his bearings and carried for
45 yards on five carries on Heritage’s opening drive, which ended with a
one-yard touchdown sneak by Boyd.
After a Silas
Walls fumble recovery, Boyd found Watson again, this time on a 64-yard bomb,
which put the game away for the Canes. Elijah Anderson’s nine-yard pass from
Nunn gave Warwick some life, especially after they recovered the ensuing onside
kick. But Phillip Harley’s second interception sealed the game for Heritage.
Shackleford
added a two-yard rushing TD for Warwick, while Good completed the Raiders
scoring with a two-yard plunge in the fourth quarter.
Watson finished
the game with three catches for 146 yards plus the pair of touchdowns.
