In this story
A win the Hawks needed
Gretna earned its first football victory of the season against visiting William Campbell on Friday, September 25. WSET’s game report and regional scoreboard describe a 38–0 Hawks win.
Its account places Gretna ahead 20–0 at halftime. WSLS also published a headline reporting 38–0, although its full article was unavailable during this review.
The win follows four losses on the checked Gretna schedule: Jefferson Forest, Bassett, Tunstall and Halifax County. The September 18 game at Halifax County ended 34–27 in the Comets’ favor.
This week’s result gives local supporters a different outcome to carry into the next stretch of the season.
The score needs a correction, not a guess
MaxPreps’ individual September 25 game page instead lists Gretna 14, William Campbell 0 and identifies both teams as 1–4. That conflicts with the two television reports.
The accessible Gretna school athletics page did not supply a final football score. Gretna Junction therefore reports the shared finding, a Gretna shutout victory, while attributing the competing totals rather than presenting either as independently certified.
This is a source discrepancy, not evidence of misconduct by a school, player or scorekeeper. No individual scoring statistics or play-by-play conclusions are being drawn from the conflicting totals.
Next on the calendar
The checked MaxPreps schedule lists Gretna at Nelson County on October 9 at 7 p.m., followed by Dan River at Gretna on October 16 at 7 p.m. No October 2 game appears on that schedule.
Families should use the school’s athletics links to confirm travel, kickoff and ticket arrangements before leaving.
