Hermitage is now 2-0 after last night's smack down of Henrico.

From this morning's Richmond Times-Dispatch...

No. 6 Hermitage 34, Henrico 0: A Brooks brothers connection got the Panthers (2-0) going early on, and Big Herm never looked back in a decisive victory over the visiting Warriors (0-2).

Tison Brooks hauled in a 13-yard TD catch from Myles Brooks to kickoff the scoring in the first quarter. Myles Brooks completed 8 of 10 pass attempts for 116 yards and two TDs. Tison Brooks posted two receptions for 30 yards and a score.

Jahson Allums (nine carries, 83 yards, TD) and Henry Patterson (eight carries, 92 yards) paced a Panthers backfield that racked up 239 yards on the ground. Jaiden Magbie caught a 20-yard TD from Myles Brooks. Breon Bonner had a 1-yard rushing TD, and Daequan Henley ran a kickoff back 70 yards to the house.

Go Panthers!

No. 6 Hermitage jumped up three spots from its preseason No. 9 position. Junior DB Micah Slingerland's pick-6 highlighted Herm's 35-7 victory at Matoaca. The Panthers, last year's Region 5C runners-up who look a playoff contender once more, were clearly too low to begin the season.

Last night's game summary from this morning's Richmond Times-Dispatch...

No. 9 Hermitage 35, Matoaca 7: The Panthers' defense shut out the Warriors (0-1) for three-straight quarters en route to the Week 1 win on the road. Hermitage's defense had three interceptions in the victory, including a pick-6 by Micah Slingerland.

Hermitage (1-0) scored 14 points in the first quarter, spearheaded by a strong rushing game. Jahson Allums found the end zone first in the first quarter on a 6-yard rush, and then Slingerland intercepted Warriors QB Stephen Ankiel to put the Panthers up 14-0.

Herm scored another 14 points in the third quarter, both touchdowns on the ground. The first was by QB Myles Brooks from seven yards out and later in the quarter, Braden Reid scored on a 29-yard run.

The Panthers' other touchdown came in the second quarter, a Brooks 59-yard connection with Chase Baylor for the score. Alijah Paige and Tarrell Lewis each had an interception. Matoaca scored its lone touchdown in the fourth quarter, an Ankiel 2-yard rush.

Brooks was 7 of 10 passing for 125 yards and a touchdown — he accounted for two total touchdowns in the win. Allums led the running back room with 79 yards and a score on nine carries and Baylor had 63 yards and a touchdown on two receptions. Ankiel ran for 29 yards on nine carries for the Warriors and, through the air, was 12 of 18 for 71 yards and three interceptions.

Panther's #33 Braden Reid busts one up the middle from 30 yards out on 4th down for another Hermitage TD. Noor on the extra point. And the Panther cheerleaders are exhausted from doing push-ups. 😀
