Mike Vukovcan HOPEWELL TOWNSHIP– The Hopewell Vikings football team suffered their first loss of the 2025 season as they lost to Beaver, 51-50, in an incredibly exciting game.
Despite the loss, the fans at Tony Dorsett Stadium witnessed an incredible performance by Hopewell sophomore quarterback James Armstrong.
Fans and opposing teams have been watching Armstrong’s athletic ability for years now in football, baseball and basketball but last night was his best performance as a high school quarterback.
How about this stat line, 22 carries for 263 yards and 2 rushing touchdowns along with 346 yards passing and 4 passing touchdowns. That’s a combined 609 yards and 6 touchdowns.
Currently, Armstrong holds a Power 4 offer from Pat Narduzzi and Pitt. The question is when will teams follow Pitt’s lead? Once that happens, something tells me the offers will continue to role in.
Here’s a look at Armstrong’s highlights, including an incredible 70-yard touchdown run.
