HAMPTON –
Quarterback Jovonn Quillen ran for four touchdowns, all in the second half, as
Hampton advanced to a 5A South semi-final matchup with Norview, by beating
Maury 42-6.
Quillen, who
gained 133 yards, ran for three touchdowns in last week’s 42-3 win over
Churchland, and headed a Crabber rushing attack that gained 296 yards on 40
carries. Hampton overcame an early scare by Maury to score 30 unanswered points
in the second half.
Maury started
the game playing fearlessly. Their first two drives netted only a first down
and 31 yards, but gave the Commodores a chance to show the versatility of their
offense, as Markell Wood, Ronnie Faulks and Delveon Little all got carries.
Hampton scored
its first two touchdowns during the first quarter – both on Quillen passes, a
three-yarder to Trequan Smith, and a 20-yarder to Dazz Newsome.
It was on
Maury’s third drive that they began to net results and claw back into the game.
Starting on their 24, Maury put its offense on display with a 15-play, 76-yard
drive, which ended with a 2-yard run through the middle by Little, who switched
to quarterback for the final three plays. Between Little and Kevin “Bam” Mills,
Maury completed six of seven passes for 58 yards on the drive. Receiver Anthony
Williams was the recipient of four of those passes for 32 yards, including a
clutch 23-yarder on 4th-and-10 from the Crabber 39.
Hampton ran
three plays before punting on its next possession and Maury went to work again,
driving 76 yards on 11 plays. Passes to Williams (18 yds.) and Charles Ridley
(21) set up the Commodores with a first-and-goal from the 9. After a pair of
penalties, Mills threw two passes to Williams in the end zone, which were
nearly caught for scores. With third and goal, Mills’ pass was intercepted in
the end zone by Tyqwan Brown, who almost committed a costly error when he tried
to run out of the end zone and was almost tackled for a safety.
Hampton led only
12-6 going into halftime, and in the second half, they started out with mixed
results, although Quillen scored his first touchdown in the third quarter – a
21-yard sprint through the right side of the Crabber line. Hampton led 20-6 at
the end of the third period.
However, the
fourth quarter belonged to Hampton. Quillen ran for touchdowns of one, eight,
and nine yards, all on successive drives, as the Crabbers built a lead that
became insurmountable. Two more interceptions, from Brown and Juanya Majette,
held the Commodore offense at bay as they gained only 71 yards in the second
half, after tiotaling 195 in the first.
