Hampton were able to grind out a solid victory over Fordyce on Friday, winning 21-7.
Senior Gauge Welch, who rushed for 117 yards and 2 touchdowns on 17 carries, was a major factor in Hampton's success. Welch has been a consistent playmaker for Hampton as this was the 6th good game in a row from him. Additional support came from defensive powerhouse senior Dd Stephens, who racked up ten tackles.
The win was the 3rd in a row for Hampton and raised their record to 5-2. This is the second loss in a row for Fordyce and nudges their record down to 5-4.
After their clash against one another, the teams are taking a break from conference action in their upcoming games. Next week Hampton will take on Harding Academy at 7:00 PM. Since neither squad is a stranger to landslide victories this season, you'd better bet it will be hard-fought showdown. Fordyce will be staying on the road, facing off against McGehee. Backed by four consecutive blowout victories, McGehee are looking for someone to give them a challenge; hopefully Fordyce will step up.
