I've been slow with posting this week, but here goes:
-Raiders football beat Bethel 47-28 on Saturday to move one win away from a playoff berth. Dave Johnson's story has the details, but Cardon Johnson broke 1000 yards on the season by rushing for 3 touchdowns and 220 yards. Eric Poindexter and Albert Webb each had two interceptions; one of Poindexter's was an 80-yard pick-6.
-In girls volleyball, the Raiders won their final regular season match against Menchville 25-23, 26-24, 25-23.
-The boys volleyball team lost their final regular season match to Menchville 25-23, 25-19, 20-25, 25-19.
-The Warwick field hockey team lost to Kecoughtan 3-0 and Gloucester 7-0 this week to fall to 4-12, 2-7 in the PD.
-The boys volleyball team lost to Denbigh on Wednesday 25-21, 25-13, 25-22.
-The girls volleyball team beat Denbigh on Wednesday to move to 6-3 on the year. The score was 25-21, 25-16, 19-25, 25-16.
-The Warwick boys cross country team, led by a 1-2 finish from Javon Walker and Myles Spivey, beat Woodside on Wednesday by a score of 23-38. The team finished the regular season 2-3. The girls lost to Woodside 26-30 despite a 1-2 finish by Eliza Lavery and Olivia Abbott. The girls finished 0-5 on the season. Next up is the Peninsula District Championships on Thursday at Newport News Park.
-Warwick boys basketball won its final two regular season games in the Boo Williams Fall League, defeating York 54-47 and Green Run 56-45. The boys finished 2nd in the East Division behind defending AAA state champion Norcom. Warwick faces Green Run again at 7:15pm on Wednesday the 27th in the first round of the playoffs. If Warwick wins, they will face either Woodside or Nansemond River at 8:15pm. Semifinals and finals are held on Thursday the 28th. The JV team is seeded 5th in the playoffs and faces 4th-seeded Norview in a 6:30 play-in game on Wednesday the 27th.
Here's the latest I have from Warwick's administration regarding today's games and practices:
-Cheerleading, JV/Varsity football, and girls volleyball will practice as scheduled.
-No JV/Varsity field hockey games or practice.
-No XC meet. Practice will still be held.
-No boys volleyball practice.
If I hear any more updates, to include rescheduled dates for field hockey and XC, I'll put them up.
-In the 1st results we've seen from girls volleyball, Warwick defeated Heritage tonight 25-18, 25-20, 25-17, to move to 2-1 in Peninsula District competition. Charmayne Clark had 6 kills, 5 blocks, and 8 service points for the Raiders.
-In boys volleyball, Heritage defeated Warwick 25-16, 25-20, 22-25, 25-14.
-Robin Roston had 22 saves in the field hockey team's 3-0 loss to Hampton. The loss drops the Raiders to 3-7 overall and 1-2 in the PD.
-In the 8th PD golf match of the year, the Raiders recorded their best finish yet, shooting a team score of 364 to take 5th place. Warwick is still in 7th place overall with one match remaining, but is knocking on the door to take over 6th place from Bethel.
-Eliza Lavery won her second straight dual meet, but the girls cross country team lost to Bethel today 21-34. The boys team also lost (25-31), but had great races from Desmond Fogg, who took second overall, and Deshonte Parker, who ran a personal-best time on the tough Mariner's Museum course. The girls are 0-2 on the season and the boys are 1-1. Next up is Saturday's Chesapeake Invitational at Bells Mill Park. The cross country teams are also having car washes this Friday (24 September) and next Friday (01 October) at the Hardee's at Jefferson and Dresden from 3-6.
Field Hockey- The Warwick girls are now 3-5 overall and 1-1 in the Peninsula District. The Raiders made up for a 3-1 loss to Bruton by beating PD rival Woodside 3-2 on Tuesday in a game decided by penalty strokes. Tied 1-1 at the end of regulation, Elizabeth Hubbard and Kelly Carson scored penalty strokes to give the Raiders the edge. Goalie Robin Roston made 22 saves in the game. On Friday, the ladies beat Eastern Region foe Deep Creek 4-0 and were led by 2 goals from Anne Marie Lindemann. The JV team beat Deep Creek 5-0 and lost to Woodside 3-2.
Golf- The Raiders are still in 7th place in the PD after finishing 7th in the 7th PD match on Wednesday.
Boys and Girls Volleyball- I have yet to see any results from Warwick in the paper or heard anything from coaches. With more PD games in the coming weeks, I should be able to make it out to one or more. In the meantime, if there is anyone who wants to send updates/scores/stats, that would be great.
Boys and Girls Cross Country- The Raiders XC teams competed at the William & Mary Invitational on Saturday. Junior Desmond Fogg's 17:34 was good enough for 12th place in the boys varsity B race and led the Raiders to an 11th place team finish. Myles Spivey, Javon Walker, Deshonte Parker, and Wade Hodson made up the rest of the top 5 scorers for Warwick. The girls were led by a 23rd place finish by sophomore Eliza Lavery.
Just a few sights and sounds from various fall sports practices at Warwick:
Football: Raiders head coach Juan Jackson has about 75 players out right now. He's pleased with his skill-position players, saying that they "can match up with any team in the Region." He is also happy with his defense, but says the offensive line needs more development due to injuries and playershaving to change positions.
Field Hockey: The Raiders will field both Varsity and JV teams this fall and are working hard at their camp this week that was coordinated by Coach Scudder.
Cross Country: This is the largest XC team Warwick has had in recent memory. There are over 20 boys out for a team that definitely figures to be in the hunt for a team District championship come October 28th. The team features 3 of the 4 legs of the District champion 4x8 team from last outdoor season. The girls team is young and growing, with new athletes coming out almost daily.
Updates from golf and volleyball are coming later in the week. Good luck to the golf team in their first match today!
