When will the locations change for 6A/5A? Think it’s about time they go back to Richmond. The 757 has had them long enough. It’s time to change it up again.
Hampton U
- Thread starter Virginiahssports
- Start date
I believe this is the final year of the current contract with HU. We can only hope it goes somewhere else. The drive is cumbersome for anyone north of RVA-which means half of the fans for any given D5/D6 final.
With about 10 mins to go SB punted and had a chance to down the ball at the one but it went into the end zone. SB then roughed the kicker on a Maury punt three plays later, jumped offsides on 4th and two near midfield, and missed a tackle in the back field on 3rd and long around the SB 40-35 yard line. That allowed Maury to eat up over 10 minutes and take a knee on the one to win the game, 28-21.
Bring it to Univ of Richmond or back to UVA
I heard there was an issue after the game in the stands but I am not sure as I was not there.
I have no knowledge of that; I thought you were inquiring about on the field. I hope there was nothing in the stands.
I didn't arrive at Hampton U until both teams were already on their buses. I'm not sure what happened. Maury Coaches are claiming on nothing occurred. But, there have been rumblings of similar issues during/after other games.

Hampton University should not host a state championship for any level. How that has been allowed to happen is beyond me. Setting is sub par and locker rooms are trash. Exactly what does Hampton do to enhance the experience? DIII schools (ex Bridgewater) offer better settings and it is strange that a school like JMU allows HS showcase games but not state championships.
I see a lot of crying! Congrats to Maury! The 804 will be back next year!
Watching the games I'd have to agree. These kids work so hard all year long to get to this game the venue should be special. Going to Liberty University made the whole experience really cool for the kids and fans. All State Championship venues should be like that.
