On October 19, 2024, in Greensboro, North Carolina, the Hampton Pirates secured a commanding victory over North Carolina A&T, with a final score of 59-17. This defeat marked the fifth consecutive loss for the Aggies, further complicating their season. Ja’Quan Snipes was a standout player, rushing for two touchdowns, while Tymere Robinson and Donovan Shepard contributed with their own scoring runs. The Pirates demonstrated overwhelming offensive effectiveness, scoring 21 points in the second quarter alone. The turning point came in the fourth quarter when Hampton scored three touchdowns in under a minute, showcasing their dynamic and potent offense. A significant moment included a kickoff mishap, where North Carolina A&T's Cortez Lane mistakenly left the ball on the ground after bobbling it, allowing Hampton to recover and score. Furthermore, Tre Everett III's interception and subsequent touchdown run added to the Pirates' fourth-quarter scoring onslaught, resulting in a total of 28 points in that quarter alone. With this win, Hampton improved to a record of 4-3 overall and 1-2 in the Coastal Athletic Association. Additionally, earlier this week, the team officially named Trent Boykin as their head coach, a promotion following his successful interim leadership. Boykin has been with the program since 2020, previously serving as a running game coordinator. In contrast, North Carolina A&T, now at 1-6 for the season and 0-3 in their conference, faces mounting challenges as quarterback Justin Fomby struggled, throwing two interceptions in a disappointing performance.
