Class 4 Title Game - Phoebus vs Varina

A
A lot of pressure was being put on tusky quarterback he really didn't have time to sit in the pocket and throw the ball. They hadn't seen a defense like Varina's all year . My opinion Varina left 20 points on the field. And the play calling in the second half was very conservative because the defense had control of the game. I will say the teams that are putting 50, 60, 70 points on the board just about every game they are not around, I'll say it once and I'll say it twice like in my previous post defense wins championships. And that will determine the game Saturday at Liberty University

No disrespect at all intended to Essex's opponent next week, but I'd definitely say that the odds of winning the state title are really in Essex's favor this year!

Certainly the odds of an Essex state victory are strong as long as the Trojans keep playing like they have recently.

That loss at home to Rappahannock in the regular season was just what the Essex boys needed to refocus. Excellent job to the players and coaches. Sometimes a shocking loss (and at the time it definitely was) like that can send a team in the opposite direction so well done!

(Of course, ole Riverheads returns to 1A next year as well...).

I sort of do disrespect next week’s opponent, not the players nor the coaches just the leadership in that county that threatened to sue to stay 1A when they should be 2A. I think Essex wins big time!

Graham vs Strasburg - Class 2 State Championship

Gridiron1960
Watching Strasburg/Poquoson game, Graham’s defensive staff is going to have to game plan well to stop that run with all the misdirection that goes on in the Strasburg backfield. Long sustained drives keeping Graham offense off the field would very much be in Strasburg’s favor in my opinion. If there’s any defensive staff that can come up with a game plan to stop them, Graham has one of the best. This Graham team has a lot of experience with deep playoff runs. Most of these Seniors and Juniors were part of the 2022 Championship team. Hopefully if every other thing being equal, experience on the big stage benefits Graham.

Had this game been at Lafayette or on turf Kettle Run would have been sped up too

Don’t know if KR would not have won but it might have been a game more like TJ and Armstrong that were both played on turf and very close. It far easier on a sloppy grass field for a very good passing team to execute. Wind affects a passing team and there was none. Lafayette coach Linn said this was his fastest team ever. Well the field conditions pretty much took care of that. I was hoping for relocation to Liberty Bealeton field again. No such luck.

Good point, but the defense seemed to struggle too....

True. Lafayette never faced a passing game like KR snd it showed. Plus Breon Stokes the starting defensive nose guard was out for the second week ( also starting FB), and his replacement was suspended for the game for other actions so that defensive middle basically had no one and KR rightfully attacked it in their running game.

Maybe that explains Omari Hill not getting more offers. That young man is definitely deserving of more attention in my opinion.

They need to attend camps. If they did, you would hear of offers. Statically pick camps and offers will follow, providing talent and grades..Also, attending camps must start asap...at minimum as a 9th grader.
College coaches put a lot of stock in finding players at camps because they can see the effort on the players part to be noticed and talent..one stop shop. Otherwise, you can hope they hear of you and attend a game. Get to the right camps!

Bo if you know sports then you know they were going to give it to Dalton. He’s literally the entire offense.

Head to head match up Kaleb went 12 for 17 180yds 4TDs 14 Carries for 205yds 1TD. Sophomore big dawg! Marcus Lewis was outmatched at the region meeting and most just giving Dalton his flowers for what he’s done these past 3 years. Dalton is a hell of a player but Kaleb Wyche had the better season, was a huge reason Varina won their region and led his team to the state championship game.

Graham has the tradition behind them whereas Strasburg will be the new kid on the block. In those situations, experience usually wins out, but there is something very special about those Rams so I will not be surprised if they pull it off.

I think it’s 50/50 toss up which is what I said about Graham/Glenvar game. Should be a slugfest which is what a state championship should be!

I didn't see very much of this game because the others were more competitive. I checked in at halftime and it was 8-8. Then when I checked again it was 16-8. Next score I saw was 30-8. So yes, it does sound like Essex is on a mission. But from what I saw of the Grayson game, they will not give up until the final horn, so it could be a real battle. Essex certainly needs to win after that bizarre 7-6 game last year.

On a side note, I would love to see Graham and Glenvar get a series going or something in the future. Two quality programs. Same goes for Radford and Graham. Graham could drop GW and Galax and pick up a couple of tough 2A teams. Nothing against GW or Galax.
Click to expand...
Yeah I’ve been saying they need to drop GW and Galax. No need to be playing single a teams anymore. I’ve been saying for a while they should call up Lord Botty or get Abingdon or Princeton back on the schedule or maybe Christiansburg.

Yeah their offense is very unique. They run a power T, but with splits like you typically see with a veer offense

Water must be different in Strasburg, we always seem to be the “little dog” in the fight. Never have had much size. OL Splits help the backs have a hole and help our smaller linemen make their blocks.

Yeah, missing Floyd hurt Graham worse then I thought it would. I figured Graham had enough talent to make up for him not being there. They still had the athleticism, but the nose for the ball that Floyd has wasn't there and it burned them a few times. I think Blake Graham played a whale of a game for Graham and his performance shouldn't be overlooked as well. Floyd should be back next week, not sure about Sharpe. Graham did a good job of replacing Williamson with a committee of guys. Should be another great game next week. Strasburg runs an offense that Graham hasn't seen, it'll be interesting to see how they adjust on defense for that.
Click to expand...
Yeah I knew Floyd’s absence was going to hurt worse than Williamson’s. I was going to say that earlier. Graham has Hill, Dowell, Jones, Hendricks, Kennard on the d line but a senior leader like Floyd was going to be hard to replace. Especially a DB when you’re playing a team that can pass. His replacement did a good enough job and even had an interception.
