Why is Ronald Curry jersey number not retired at Hampton?!?!?!

I was reminded of this one day while watching Matt Mitchell play under center on Channel 48. I know he never became what he was suppose to become, but still he was the best high school athlete in the nation in some time.

I don't think Hampton has ever retired a jersey number. Certainly Curry's would be the one you would think.

That brings up an interesting question. What jerseys have been retired by Peninsula District schools? Several years ago, we had a weekly page called the Student Section, which was written by high school students. We profiled several schools and asked our correspondents to check with ADs for any retired numbers.

Let's open this up to everyone. What jerseys have been retired by various schools?

Bethel has retired Iverson's #10 in FB and #3 in BB, Shaun Gayles #81, and Todd Kelly"s #88 or they are atleast honored on the wall in their gym.

That is a good question! I don't think that a high school would retire the number, but the jersey I know get hung up. I knew about the jerseys at Bethel, but I'm not sure about anything else. Heritage has Aaron Brooks jerseys (football & basketball) above the doorway to their gym.

This is not football but there is not doubt about #3 being retired from Soccer at Kecoughtan - Chris Tromly

At Phoebus.....

#1, 3, and 6 will never be worn again.

Personally, if I see a #1 Phoebus Football Jersey, I might just take it off his back myself...
