STOCKBRIDGE — Hampton's football team is trying to advance to the postseason for just the third time in school history.
On Thursday night, the Hornets took a gigantic step toward that goal with a 37-7 road victory over Region 2-AAAA rival Woodland. The victory spoiled Woodland’s Senior Night as the Wolfpack were playing at home for the final time in 2024.
