NEWPORT NEWS, Va. — Eleven years ago Corey Hairston took over a Warwick football program coming off an 0-10 season. He retires from that position today having built the Raiders into one of the best teams in Hampton Roads.
Warwick has gone 33-6 over the last 3 seasons, winning a region championship in 2022. The Raiders 2024 season ended this past Friday with a 41-7 defeat to Maury in the region semifinals. Maury and Phoebus, two undefeated defending state champions, were the only teams to beat Warwick over the past 2 seasons.
Hairston spent time as an assistant coach at other Newport News schools before taking over at Warwick, totaling 28 years coaching in the area.
Defensive Coordinator Thomas Sykes will take over as head coach at Warwick
