In Warwick’s explosive win over Hampton, Ranny Blanchard and ends Stu Garrett and Don Horton did most of the damage, moving the Crabbers out of contention for the Eastern District title. Horton blocked a Hampton kick, scooped up the ball and plowed 42 yards for a touchdown. Fans were brought to their feet when J. D. Stainback seemed t o high jump the Hampton line to gain the one yard necessary for another touchdown. Also scoring was Vic Kitchen who received a pass from Blanchard to complete a 44 yard surprise pattern. In the last quarter, the Farmers led by the large margin of 39 to 14 before putting in some of the inexperienced players. This was only the second time in the last decade that Warwick has defeated both Newport News and Hampton in one season. Trying for the first winning season since 1961, the Farmers dropped a 21-7 verdict to arch-rival Ferguson despite the school spirit of Farmer Day and the newspaper’s predictions. Leading 7-0 going into the second half, the Farmers lost the game on two off side penalties and an intercepted pass which was returned for a touchdown. Some of the seniors who played their last games this year were co-captains Don Horton and Art Morgan, Ranny Blanchard, top rated peninsula passer, J. D. Stainback, Billy Mitchell, Wally McCulley, Billy Pittman, Ken Cooke, Phil Kinney, Vic Kitchen, our leading scorer, Frank Batkins, and Eddie Parsons.
