First Team All State wide receiver Emmett Brown has accepted the scholarship offer tendered by Elizabeth City State University. Brown, who was also invited to play in the Virginia Coach’s Association All Star Game in Hampton this July gained 842 yards and scored 12 touchdowns his senior year. His Powhatan High School record 57 receptions this year destroyed the old record of 49.
Taron Hampton will be showing off his running back skills at Virginia State University in Petersburg. As a First Team All Region running back, Hampton carried the ball 163 times for 1360 yards and 23 touchdowns in his final year at Powhatan. Hampton played at PHS for only two years, having transferred from Cumberland County, which makes his 3243 career yard totals at PHS an outstanding achievement. Even more impressive is his school record of 55 touchdowns scored in that two year period. He broke Lee Goode’s record of 54 which Goode set over four seasons.“This is a kid we’ve been watching since his junior year,” said Virginia State Head Coach Andrew Faison. “He’s what we call a second level back, a complete back. He can run between the tackles but has great speed. Actually he’s a lot faster than the guy we have starting now.”
Florida A&M University High School senior Troy Curry inked with Benedict College (Columbia, S.C.) to play running back or wide receiver for the football squad. "I had a lot of people looking at me, but there was just something about Benedict College," said Curry, who played both defensive back and receiver for the 2007 Florida Class 1B state runner-up. "I just felt comfortable and at home there. They have brand-new facilities and it's just a nice homey place." (from Tallahassee Democrat)
