Congrats to Hopewell, they made the plays necessary to win!
I would not say this was a shock. Two simular teams in size and athleticism. It's just the winner was more balanced. Can't be a one trick pony. By the way what was Walkers numbers for Hopewell???
Everyone knows why this post was posted. Its irrelevant to Hopewell winning it was more of Heritage losing.
So you don't agree that these were two evenly matched teams? Both big, athletic and both with two outstanding d1 running backs. The main difference was a stout Hopwell defense. I think the averaged giving up less than 10 during the playoffs.
In 20 years no one will look at the record book and say "you know if it wasn't for the turn overs Heritage would have won." That s part of the game. I guess Hopewell had nothing to do with those turnovers.
Yep, Hopewell made plays, HHS had too many mistakes, some of that credit does go to Hopewell. I think the rb for Hopewell only had 60ish some yards.
Hopewell use more balance run and pass mixing it up all year. not just run 40 times and pass 5 or 6 times you can't win like that.
I don't mean any harm but Phoebus was big favorites over Hopewell and they came to Hampton and did what they were supposed to do and left with a 7-6 win. If anybody has excuses I could litter this forum with it, but why? It changes nothing. It only discredits what Hopewell has accomplished. Keep it moving and try to enjoy these holidays.

agreeeeed! "Not to take anything away from hopewell"...that statement is taking the defense away from hopewell. The defense that read a route, jumped it, and returned it for 6. I love watching that replay.
according to my radar screen, Hopewell had done some good film work on Heritage, and saw that play developing before it happened.
Murphy's quotes after the game talk about studying that play, as soon as he saw it develop he recognized it. Film definitely backs that up. Great preparation.
