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

GAME.

TIME.

@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.

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!!

Nelson Lane 60 yard TD. Huge play from the springers. 14-13 Varina early 11 minutes 3rd quarter.

Wooooooow!!!!

Oh boy, this quite a daring move by Jeremy Blunt and his staff.

Phoebus has it at their own 20 following the touchback that came moments after the stunning fourth down touchdown. A quick pass of 4 yards to Romeir Smith. Avion Rodriguez hurries the Maurikus Banks pass on 2nd & 6 that is incomplete.

On 3rd & 8, Banks looks to scramble and ends up losing his footing. Tracy Pope tags him down for a loss of 2.

Phoebus burns a time-out with 3:21 to go before 4th & 8 from their own 22.

Just what did I miss or say that was incorrect?

One of the gutsiest plays I've seen and major props to WR Keon Batts, who gave the defensive back covering him a head fake move to his left and then bolted right on what was a deep post. Throw was on the money by Saeed Williams, too.

The Warwick fans are celebrating like they never have before as this could go down as one of their biggest moments - and comebacks - ever.

But the Phantoms are three-time defending State Champs for a reason, riding a 43-game winning streak. They won't go quietly into the night.
