757Teamz football Top 15: Some teams will fall from the unbeaten ranks this week https://www.pilotonline.com/2024/09/17/757teamz-football-top-15-some-teams-will-fall-from-the-unbeaten-ranks-this-week/ Tue, 17 Sep 2024 17:45:40 +0000 https://www.pilotonline.com/?p=7372103 There was little movement after a week of mostly unsurprising blowouts as all 15 teams in last week’s 757Teamz high school football poll remained unbeaten.

That will change this week with multiple games featuring two ranked teams. Fourth-ranked Oscar Smith hosts No. 12 Nansemond River in a key Southeastern District game on Thursday — one of four games in Chesapeake moved up to avoid traffic conflicts with Friday’s Luke Bryan country music concert.

On Friday, fifth-ranked Green Run visits No. 11 Cox.

757Teamz football report: Maury wide receiver Damon McDaniel Jr. is showing flashes of his father’s prowess https://www.pilotonline.com/2024/09/17/757teamz-football-report-maury-wide-receiver-damon-mcdaniel-jr-is-showing-flashes-of-his-fathers-prowess/ Tue, 17 Sep 2024 16:07:00 +0000 https://www.pilotonline.com/?p=7370688 Maury junior Damon McDaniel Jr. had a breakout game last week with seven receptions for 96 yards and a touchdown to help the top-ranked Commodores beat perennial power Highland Springs 38-7 on the road.

His performance brought a smile to Commodores head coach Dyrri McCain’s face.

He remembers when he played with McDaniel’s father, Damon Sr., at Hampton University.

“It feels like yesterday that I was seeing baby Dame come to the games and seeing him run around when his dad and I were teammates,” he said. “It’s a great experience to be able to coach him now. He’s learned, developed well and taken the coaching well so far. His best is ahead of him, if you ask me. I’m sure wide receiver coach Darius Blount would agree, too.”

The younger McDaniel, who transferred from Western Branch, has nine receptions for 117 yards and a touchdown this season.

The elder McDaniel was one of the top receivers in the country when he came out of Landstown High, where he teamed with former star Percy Harvin. A four-star prospect, McDaniel began his career at Florida State before he transferred to Hampton.

McDaniel is still No. 1 in South Hampton Roads in single-season receptions with 92, second in single-season yards with 1,574 and third in single-season touchdowns with 22.

The Commodores, who have won 17 games in row dating back to last season, host Dinwiddie High on Friday.

McCain said he’s proud of his team’s focus and execution so far.

“We are still growing as a team, but I like the direction that our veterans are leading us in,” he said. “Our veterans are taking the right steps right now.”

The Commodores are ranked No. 66 nationally by MaxPreps and are the No. 1 team in the state.

Unlikely hero leads York: The unlikely hero of York’s 2-0 start to the season is kicker/punter Sebastian Benitez-Marrero. Cut during varsity soccer tryouts in the spring, Benitez-Marrero informed head coach Doug Pereira he’d like to give football a try.

“I said, `Why not? We need a kicker,’ ” Pereira said.

In his first game, the Falcons’ 21-6 comeback win over Gloucester, Benitez-Marrero made all three extra-point kicks, had several booming punts and two well-placed pooch kickoffs the Falcons recovered. After missing his only extra-point try against Warhill last week, Benitez-Marrero was called on to attempt his first field goal with the game tied at 14 in the final seconds.

Pereira says Benitez-Marrero was so unfamiliar with kicking field goals that he lined up six yards behind the holder. “I guess he thought he was going to get a running start, like on a kickoff. Then, fortunately, Warhill called timeout to ice him.”

During the timeout, Pereira instructed Benitez-Marrero to line up closer, same as if he were kicking an extra point. Benitez-Marrero then split the uprights from 32 yards with 1 second remaining, giving the Falcons a 17-14 victory.

“His teammates were excited and mobbed him,” Pereria said. “There was no doubt about the kick — it would’ve been good from 45 yards.”

Howard is answer for Tabb: It was an open question in the preseason: Who would replace the 1,242 rushing yards 2024 graduate Cam Dixon had for Tabb a year ago. Landon Howard is the answer.

A 5-foot-7, 160-pound senior, Howard has rushed for 275 yards and three touchdowns for the Tigers in the first two games, victories of 17-0 over Heritage and 37-20 over Jamestown. He ran for 174 yards and touchdowns of 21 and 18 yards against Jamestown, bettering his 155 yards and one TD his junior season.

Tigers coach John Byron says Howard’s rise is no accident, but rather the result of tireless work. He said that Howard never missed an offseason workout and has transformed himself into one of the Bay Rivers District’s strongest players with a 425-pound squat to go with a 260-pound bench press and power clean.

“He has worked for four years to have the kind of senior year he’s having,” Byron said. “All coaches want their players to be about the process and Landon really enjoys the process.”

Howard’s hard work has given him stamina to go with his strength. He not only runs the ball, but he starts at linebacker and plays on most special teams.

“He almost never comes off of the field,” Byron said. “There were 178 plays in the Jamestown game and I’d guess he was in on 170 of them.

“Landon is everything you want in a team captain and a football player.”

Jordan making up for lost time: Warwick senior Jaylen Jordan sat out the 2023 season with a knee injury. He’s making up for lost time with a plethora of defensive and special-teams contributions as the Raiders are off to a 3-0 start.

A defensive end, Jordan already has three sacks. He also has 10 quarterback pressures to lead a defense that has not given up a point as the Raiders have outscored their opposition 146-0.

“If he doesn’t get the sack, he’s going to disrupt the pass because he’s coming so hard off of the edge,” Warwick coach Corey Hairston said of Jordan, who also plays at tight end and wing for the offense.

Jordan has also been a special-teams terror with two blocked punts and several near blocks. Hairston said Jordan is invariably the first man down the field on the kickoff team and has several tackles for that unit.

“He worked hard during the offseason to get back and has been so good, you’d never know he was hurt last year,” Hairston said.

New Warriors QB starts fast: Nansemond River quarterback Tyrell Grant Jr. is off to a great start this season.

The senior has completed 36 of 48 passes for 393 yards and six touchdowns with one interception to help the Warriors begin the season 2-0. He’s also rushed for 146 yards and two touchdowns.

“Tyrell has been very efficient and is definitely our field general,” Warriors coach Alonzo Ricks said about Grant, who transferred from Norcom High. “He can do so many things with the ball in his hands and is like having a coach on the field. He has been great so far and so looking forward to the special things that we count on him doing throughout the rest of the year.”

Nansemond River will need another big game from him Thursday night, when the Warriors travel to play Oscar Smith for a Southeastern District showdown. Last season, the Warriors upset the Tigers 42-28. It was the first time the Warriors topped the Tigers since 2002.

The Nansemond River-Oscar Smith game is one of four in the Southeastern District that have been moved to Thursday because of traffic concerns related to the Luke Bryan country music concert Friday in Chesapeake.

The games that have been moved all will be played at 7 p.m. Thursday: Deep Creek at Grassfield, King’s Fork at Great Bridge, Nansemond River at Oscar Smith and Western Brach at Hickory.

Lakeland’s game at Booker T. Washington remains scheduled for 7 p.m. Friday.

757Teamz boys volleyball Top 15: Kempsville clings to top spot, but Kellam rises to No. 2 https://www.pilotonline.com/2024/09/16/757teamz-boys-volleyball-top-15-kempsville-clings-to-top-spot-but-kellam-rises-to-no-2/ Mon, 16 Sep 2024 22:15:04 +0000 https://www.pilotonline.com/?p=7371113 Week 3 saw few changes in the 757Teamz boys volleyball poll as most teams continued their winning ways.

Kempsville, with two wins during the week, extended its record to 5-0 and remained atop all Hampton Roads boys teams. In one of their recent triumphs, a 3-0 shutout of Oscar Smith, Wyatt Strawbridge led the Chiefs with 14 aces and six kills. Trent Beeson added six kills, while Rylan Patterson and Quinn Riley combined for 23 digs.

The most significant change was the flip-flop between the second, third and fourth spots, which
happened after Kellam knocked off higher-rated Beach District rival First Colonial. The Knights also topped Granby and captured the Endless Summer tournament championship on Saturday.

Kellam won all five of its matches, and First Colonial finished 4-1 on the day. The Comets won
their first three matches before falling to Kellam and FC, as reflected in this week’s altered rankings in the top five.

In one of the Knights’ other wins, a 3-1 (24-26, 25-19, 25-17, 25-13) triumph over Ocean Lakes,
Kellam barely lost the first set, but stormed back to sweep the next three. Captains Joel Eanes and Austin Makovec led the Knights. Eanes finished with 26 kills, while Makovec had 17. Bennett Pyka collected 51 assists.

One of the hotter teams in Hampton Roads may be Princess Anne, which enters the poll at No. 10. The Cavaliers knocked off previous No. 10 Landstown in a 3-0 (25-22, 25-22, 25-23) effort.
Jason Busch led PA with 13 kills, while Gabe Ng totaled 12 digs. Grant Parrish added 40 assists, three blocks and one kill.

In its first match of the week, Grafton defeated Smithfield 3-0 (25-17, 25-15, 25-17). Ally Burke scooped 18 digs and served eight aces, Ana Breckons added eight kills and Olivia De la Cruz totaled 12 assists in the Clippers’ Bay Rivers District win.

Stone Bridge went 5-0 in the Endless Summer tournament, with wins over Menchville, Greenbrier Christian, Kings Fork, Arcadia and St. John’s Catholic Prep in Maryland. For the day, Stone Bridge won 10 of 11 sets to take the Division II title.

The upset of the week came from Ocean Lakes, which shocked then-No. 5 Kellam 3-0. Santina Martcheva had 15 kills and Kayla Bennett had 17 digs. Carmela Mendoza contributed 33 assists and four aces.

Ocean Lakes enters the poll at No. 12, with the Knights dropping to No. 13 with two losses last week. Cox delivered the other loss in a five-set showdown.

In a match against Kellam, Cox needed five sets to eke out a 3-2 (23-25, 30-28, 25-19, 18-25, 15-13) triumph. Avery Osler and Camdyn Milisitz each totaled 15 kills and Kathleen Grosz finished with 14 kills to lead the Falcons in the Beach District battle. Luci Tignor had three blocks.

Landstown also enters the poll this week at No. 10 with wins over Princess Anne and Bayside.
