Maumelle leaned on a ferocious pass rush and WR Hampton to turn back Pine Bluff, 21–7

Maumelle 21, Pine Bluff 7

MAUMELLE — In a flag‑filled, defensive grinder, Maumelle leaned on a ferocious pass rush and a breakout night from WR Jackson Hampton to turn back Pine Bluff, 21–7, Friday at Hornet Stadium. Hampton hauled in eight receptions for 175 yards and a touchdown, repeatedly bailing out the Hornets on third down and igniting the decisive second‑half surge. QB Levi Warrior accounted for two scores—a short pop‑pass TD to RB Marshaun Wiley in the first quarter and a keeper early in the third—to give Maumelle breathing room. RB/S Jacob Henry churned out tough yards and provided physical blocking that sprung explosives on the edge.

Maumelle’s front dictated the night. DE Jordan Harris lived in the backfield with multiple sacks, while DB Jayden Baker scooped up a fourth‑quarter fumble forced by DB Chad Mayweather to blunt Pine Bluff’s best rally. The Zebras, playing a slew of sophomores, flashed their upside: QB Jamar Morrow hung in against heavy heat, WR Quintin Roymuscled a long catch‑and‑run to set up the lone score, and WR Darrick Dunn finished an option pitch late in the fourth. On defense, DT Emmanuel Hudson was disruptive throughout with several tackles for loss and a sack.

Maumelle’s offense found better rhythm after halftime—mixing quick screens, edge runs and Warrior’s designed keepers—to salt away its second straight league win. Pine Bluff’s front made the Hornets earn every yard, but Maumelle’s balance and pressure package proved decisive.
