@Kenneth Harris Quick question. Does Banks put zip on his passes often? I haven't watched but maybe 3 games with him at QB1. I understand throwing the lobs up to 8 as he's 6'4" but it seems most of his passes are floaters.

I have only seen him play in about 8 or 9 games. He has zipped a few when needed but I think he just instinct in touch to try to put the ball in the right place. Whoever missed the Salem pass got a better one today.

Union is 7-3. Sky is falling completely. Not so fast my friend. A 7-3 Union will beat Graham in the region and win the semi game, and then play for the stste championship.

I agree. Graham will be at themselves. 19 penalties for 185 yards is flat out ridiculous. Pee Wee teams execute better then that.

#3 for y’all is a DAWG. Hope EB is good. Springers winning C6 with both of them healthy.

He got hurt last week

I’ve watch this entire game a maybe I’ve overrated Varina or maybe HS has got alot better from not getting a first down Weeks 2-3……. I’m honestly flabbergasted at the score

Big win for the Phantoms. Pressure either bursts pipes or creates diamonds. Today we saw which team was on which side of the pressure.

Yes he does.

More to come later... stay tuned!

Varina is clearly the more talented team from top to bottom. Springers has some guys though. Where’s Eric Byrd?

Pass interference on the Phoebus defense gives Warwick the ball at midfield. But QB Saeed Williams Jr. is unable to control the shotgun snap, fumbling it and Phantoms defender Jonathan Rogers recovers at the Raiders 40.

Now they can take a knee and run the clock out.

Springers with momentum and driving. They've made some adjustments at the half.

Saeed Williams Jr. dropped back to throw and Trenton Mitchell gets the pick-six to put it away for Phoebus, which will now make it 44 in a row and 67 consecutive over PD foes.

So many crazy plays, but this one will probably be remembered for the improbable 56-yard reception on 4th & 8 with just over three minutes to go by Romeir Smith. Without that play, Warwick might've been able to get out of here and end their 25-game losing streak in this series.

Heck of a battle by these two teams, each with designs on making title runs with Phoebus out of Region 4A and Warwick in 5B.

Varina’s coaching leaves A LOT to be desired. Springers out coaching Varina this second half.

Let’s goooooooooooo

This game has more than lived up to the hype and delivered. Facing a tricky 3rd & 8, knowing in the back of the mind that his team has missed three field goals on the day, Maurikus Banks shows the poise and finds the junior Mhakyi Hill in the end zone - with a little bit of traffic we might add - for the go-ahead touchdown.

Do we have more late-game excitement? Well, Warwick certainly hopes so in order to stop the win streak at 43 for the Phantoms with 1:28 to go.

one stop defense!

I'm speechless at that throw and catch with Maurikus Banks to Romeir Smith, who remarkably managed to make as clutch a catch as you can in a Championship-level game.

Quick completion to Tyree Diggs for 5 and run by Davion Roberts for 6 as them at the 11 of Warwick. After an incomplete, mammoth DT Christian Corbin stops Roberts for just two yards. It'll be 3rd & 8 from the WHS 9.

We've got lots of drama here at Darling!!
