Football vs Anacostia HS 10/4

Good afternoon and welcome to today's

Teesp broadcast of high school football.

We're here at AOK Stadium on the banks

of the James River at Trinity Episcopal

School

as the Trinity Episcopal Titans today on

a perfect autumn day for football

host Anacostia High School out of

Washington DC.

And Titans come in at 5-0. Anacostia

comes in at 1 and3. I am Rick Hamlin,

joined here by JJ Wiltshire,

my sidekick, best color commentator in

the state. Certainly the best student

color commentator in the state. Um, and

you can print that. And we got Briggs PR

on the production. Executive producer

Carter Tyrie and uh welcome

>> JJ before we do the anthem. And there is

going to be a little pregame ceremony

for Devon Brown that we'll talk about in

a minute. But uh what are you looking

for on this lovely autumn afternoon, JJ?

>> Yeah, this Titans offense has been

firing on all cylinders. 40 plus points

over the last four games and 36 in the

first. This Anacostia offense has not

been doing as well. No points in the

last two weeks while giving up 91 total.

It's going to be a tough game for

Anacostia to come out here and get a win

on homecoming where the spirits are

high. We have a dance later today. Um,

>> yeah, it's going to be tough for them to

come out here and get a win. And the

Titans are just looking to build this

momentum while going into a tough

threeame stretch of Glenn Allen, St.

Chris, and Benedicting to end the

season.

>> Brown officially.

>> Yeah, absolutely. So, you might be able

to hear right now over the PA, but uh

Devon Brown, senior, wide receiver, and

kind of everything. Safety, running

back, kick returner. Uh probably I think

it's safe to say the greatest player in

Triny Episcopal football history is

currently getting honored. Devian broke

the alltime Central Virginia record for

receiving yards uh against St. Michael

the Archangel two weeks ago and

Devian is also just a few touchdowns

short of the alltime uh receiving

touchdown record in Central Virginia.

But uh right now as you look at your

screen,

>> you see uh number four Devon Brown

surrounded by his family. He's going to

be walking out to the field to receive

the game ball from uh athletic director

Adam Lenon. Head coach Sam Mickens is

out there as well as offensive

coordinator Malcolm Bell. And you see a

huge contingent from the Brown family.

Um they are rolling deep today to honor

the man they call fat rat um Penn State

commit and just been truly a joy to

watch Davon Brown the these last four

years and you know thankfully we've

still got four regular season games plus

hopefully some postseason to continue to

watch him do his thing. But um JJ,

you've heard the expression it takes a

village to raise a child and it's really

neat to look out onto AOK Stadium right

at midfield and see the village that

surrounds Debon Brown right now. Yeah,

it's been an amazing career. We usually

don't see players playing all four years

on varsity, but ever since Davianis came

to Trend, he stepped on this field. He

has been a starter. He's been a key

player. And all four years, he stayed

consistent. Hasn't been injuryprone,

which is good. Hasn't really had any

down years. He's been consistent, like I

said earlier. So, it's just been a great

career for DaVon.

>> Yeah. And I mean, it started his very

first game, his freshman year. Titans

playing at Benedictine. It was a late

August day. JJ, this would have been, I

think, the year before you arrived.

>> Yep. as a Titan, but uh it was 100

degrees, humid, um guys were cramping up

on both sides. The game was 000 going

into the fourth quarter. And Devon Brown

in his first ever high school game as a

14-year-old

had three touchdowns in the fourth

quarter to lead the Titans to a 21-7

victory at Benedicting and he's really

just kept it rolling ever since then.

and be really excited to follow his

career at Penn State. Of course, coach

James Franklin and the Nitney Lions. Uh

been a consistent top 10 program the

last few years and they haven't quite

gotten over the hump to win a

championship, but uh who knows, Devian

could be that that X factor that helps

uh Penn State get to the promised land.

So, um guys are lining up now. We, uh

Anacostia is out on the field ready to

kick off, but uh I think we still have

not done the national anthem yet. So,

we are about to have that moment here as

the players line up. The Brown family,

extended family, uh, makes their way off

the field from that pregame ceremony.

>> And we now hear the

>> PA asking folks to rise. And we will

listen to the trendy pep band play the

Star Spangle Banner.

[Music]

All right. Nice job there by the Trinity

Pep Band students playing those

instruments as we

honor America. Here we are October the

4th, 2025

and not a cloud in the sky, low7s, low

humidity. Um if you were to dial up uh

the kind of weather you would want to

have for your homecoming football game,

uh I don't think you could ask for

better than this, JJ.

>> Yeah, they picked a very great day to do

his homecoming day. We see the Trrendy

alum section over there. There's a lot

of people over there. Trendy student

section, not as full as maybe the

football players would have hoped, but

still a decent crowd. A bunch of seniors

out there, a couple of freshman in the

back. Uh bunch of fans I saw when I was

walking up. Um grandparents, aunts,

uncles came out to support their team

today. And it's really just a great day

for football.

>> It is. Yeah. I saw a lot of folks

tailgating, current students, uh alums

like you said, parents, friends, and

just really excited. I mean JJ, this is

our fourth home game of the year. Sixth

game overall for the Titans and just

watching this team play has become such

a pleasure and and being up here with

you uh has really been one of the

highlights of the fall for me as the

opening kickoff is fielded by Cole

Damarind at his own 30 and Cole has a a

solid return out to the 47 yd line.

>> Yeah, it's a great way to start uh this

game for the Titans. Just a short little

kick gets you all the way to midfield

and you get to set up your running game

early which has been very dominant for

the Titans which opens up that passing

game later.

>> Yeah, looked like uh Lawrence Jefferson

the third amongst the Anacostia Indians

to make that tackle. So they're going to

actually spot it at the 48 yd line and

uh it'll be first down from there for

Trinity with quarterback Deacon Scogan

in the shotgun.

Richmond Times Dispatch player of the

week. Carson Parks lined up behind him.

And the first play is going to be a pass

play to Devon Brown. And uh that was a

collector's item right there. A Devon

Brown drop. You don't see many of those.

Maybe still a little bit of nerves from

his uh pregame ceremony.

>> Yeah, it was fortunate that it didn't

bounce forward into the hands of

Anakasia player. It just bounced

backwards right uh to the ground. Wasn't

the best throw. We've seen Deacon made

better. I think he should have put it

more out in front for Dave on the catch

and be able to turn up field.

unfortunate play there for the Titans.

>> Yeah, and I think the play of Dee

Scogan, I mean, not just today, but

going forward, um, as Anacostia calls

their first time out here early on, but,

uh, I think, you know, Deak's had a

solid year, his first year as a starter,
