He contributed two goals to both Friday’s 4-0 home win over Williamsburg Christian Academy and Tuesday’s 2-0 road win over Peninsula Catholic High School.

Colby Williams, senior for Nansemond River High School football: He was a standout on a defensive unit that helped the Warriors pull away for a 38-3 home-opening victory over visiting Deep Creek High School on Friday night.
