NEWPORT NEWS, Va. – In a decisive Peninsula District matchup on Thursday night, the Warwick Raiders rolled past the Hampton Crabbers with a 42-0 shutout at Todd Stadium. The Raiders, who entered the game with a 5-3 record, exploded out of the gate, building a 28-0 lead by halftime and never looking back.
Offensive fireworks fuel the win
Quarterback Jabril Perry threw three touchdown passes, showcasing poise and accuracy that kept the Hampton defense on its heels. Running back Terius Brown added two rushing scores, while wide receiver Zyire White‑Epps capped the night with three total touchdowns, leading the Raiders’ offense to a commanding performance.
Defensive dominance
Warwick’s defense delivered its third shutout in the last four games, holding Hampton to zero points and forcing several three‑and‑out series. The Crabbers were further hampered by injuries, most notably missing quarterback Marcus Chapman, who was seen pregame wearing a boot.
Implications for the season
With the victory, Warwick improves to 6-3 and will close out its regular season on November 6 against Kecoughtan after a bye week. The win also serves as a morale boost after last season’s narrow loss to Hampton, which had denied Warwick a district title.
Hampton falls to 4-4 and will host Heritage next Friday night, looking to rebound from the defeat and finish the season on a positive note.
Other Thursday results
The evening featured a series of high‑scoring games across the Peninsula District: Phoebus defeated Heritage 55-0, Smithfield beat Jamestown 61-0, and Lafayette overwhelmed York 63-0.
These results highlight the competitive spirit and talent depth within the district as teams vie for postseason positioning.
