(Will the defending State Champions win or at least score a point; NO shots fired, they've played a brutal schedule to start the year)

Hop on in the discussion to get hype for the winter rolling. As always I apologize if I am not up to date on any big moves/transfers etc. This is solely meant to get a discussion going.

1. Northside
Back to back state champs, return state POY for senior season along with another first team all state selection. The three-peat is certainly in the cards.

2. Spotswood
This may be the Blazers best chance to win a state title since 1990...and that's saying a lot considering their rich history. I believe they return four starters including Cam Pacheco. Northside has had their number in the playoffs but if they can get over the hump in the state tournament they have a real shot.

3. Lake Taylor
Not sure how much they return but always a strong program that fell in the state finals last year. They will always be battle-tested with that Norfolk schedule.

4. James Monroe
As long as Makel Minor doesn't transfer out (I have no idea if he has or not) the Yellowjackets return him and a second-team all state selection in Michael Edwards to one of the best James Monroe teams in recent memory. Region 3B is always relatively week so would be shocked in JM isn't back in the state tournament.

5. BT Washington
Bookers return Zymareon Mitchell which should be more than enough to lead the Bookers to another successful season.

6. Tunstall
Raiders went 27-3 last year, two of those losses to Northside in the playoffs. Kobe Morrison is back and wouldn't be surprised if they amass 20+ wins in the regular season again.

7. Cave Spring
Always have to shoe in the Knights as a preseason top 10 team given the excellence of the program. Not as sure what they return but should compete with Northside as always, I believe they were relatively young last year so better experience will show.

8. Western Albemarle
Warriors have contended perennially in the Top 10 for years. They lose their frontcourt but return some key pieces from a year ago and they always reload. They handed Spotswood one of their two losses last season in the Region 3C championship.

9. Meridian
Mustangs had a really strong season last year and return a second team all stater in Daylen Martino.

10. Hopewell
No all-staters returning but the Blue Devils had a good season a year removed from a state championship appearance. Look for them to return to the state playoffs this season.

Phoebus improved to 2-0 on the season with a 42-3 win over Woodside in a Peninsula District matchup at Todd Stadium on Thursday night. The Phantoms have won 37 games in a row including three straight State titles.

Senior running back Davion Roberts scored three touchdowns for the Phantoms including returning a punt 75 yards for a touchdown in the 1st quarter. He added two more rushing touchdowns from 11 and two yards and finished with 95 yards on 12 carries.

Sophomore quarterback Maurikus Banks completed touchdown throws to senior Trenton Mitchell for 12 yards and Noah Jefferson for 59 yards. He finished 6 of 9 passing for 99 yards.

Jefferson, a Delaware commit, made a pretty 1-handed catch down the sideline that gave Phoebus a 35-3 lead late in the 3rd quarter. Senior Demante Williams added a 2-yard touchdown in the 4th quarter to start the running clock.

Defensive tackle Nathaniel Anthony Jr had an interception and fumble recovery for the Phoebus defense that recorded five turnovers.

Woodside was able to move the ball at times, but they could not overcome the turnovers. Junior kicker Thomas VanDusen provided the Wolverines their only points with a 39-yard field goal.
