In their previous meeting, Hampton routed Phoebus 44 - 0. Hampton got the short end of the stick this time around, however. Hampton was close but not close enough as it fell 14 - 12 to Phoebus. The outcome was a definite jolt of excitement for Hampton after its previous game, where the margin was anything but close.
Hampton's defense put the team in a good position heading into the break, holding Phoebus to a measly zero points. That put Hampton at a 6 - 0 advantage. With a less-than-desirable six points in the second half, however, it saw this advantage slip away.
The win was just another feather in the cap for the still undefeated Phoebus, who sits at 7-0. The loss dropped Hampton's record to 6-1.
Both teams are aiming to improve upon those records in their upcoming games. Phoebus will face off against Gloucester Friday at 7:00 PM. Meanwhile, Hampton will battle it out against Upper St. Clair on Friday at 7:30 PM.
