Interesting pair of games for the "Wall" last weekend. Last Friday, I covered Hampton High's game - on Saturday it was Hampton University. They both won big. Here's the Crabber game:
HAMPTON –
Quarterback Jovonn Quillen ran for three touchdowns to lead the Crabbers to a 43-6
thrashing of Churchland at Darling Stadium.
With the win,
Hampton (10-0) finished the regular season undefeated and cemented their #1 seed
in the upcoming 5A South playoffs, which will begin next weekend.
An interception
by Hampton’s Juanya Majette set up the first Crabber touchdown, an eight-yard
keeper by Quillen. The conversion pass to Trequan Smith was successful and
Hampton enjoyed an early 8-0 edge.
After an
unsuccessful Churchland drive, a short punt gave Hampton good field position,
and they took over on the Trucker 40. From there, it took only four plays for
the Crabbers to gain their second TD, an eight-yard run from Demetrius
Strickland.
Hampton’s next
drive stalled, but they quickly recovered with lineman Tyrique Coleman grabbing
a tipped pass out of the air for Hampton’s second interception. The ensuing
field goal attempt was no good, but Hampton drove 90 yards on seven plays with
their next drive, culminating with a 32-yard blast up the middle by Smith, who,
to avoid a tackle, high stepped into the end zone.
Rashaud Taylor
picked off Churchland’s Corey Gause for the Crabber’s third interception of the
half, and Quillen struck again, scoring on a three-yard charge through the
middle, on the final play of the first half.
Churchland had a
chance to score on its opening possession of the second half, but fumbled at
the Hampton 10-yard line. They would not come close again until late in the
fourth quarter when Gause hit Michael Huff with a flare pass and Huff rumbled
39 yards to the touchdown.
Hampton
immediately struck back, gaining 65 yards on three plays – a 30-yard pass to
Burnell Pulley III, a 15-yard run by Smith, and the capper, a 20-yard run by
Strickland, who took Quillen’s pitch down the left sideline for the score.
The Crabbers
gained 380 yards of total offense and rushed for 266 yards on 33 carries.
Quillen led the Crabbers with 102 yards on 16 rushes.
The win was the
461st for Coach Mike Smith – fourth all-time among high school
coaches.
