The Cavaliers will forfeit the contest due to a lack of available healthy players. The Stallions announced the game's cancellation on social media.

I'm unfamiliar with the area. What has led to Phoebus's sustained dominance over the past couple decades? Looking back, Hampton was the historically preeminent program. Did Phoebus open in the area that Hampton traditionally pulled most of its athletes from?
Phoebus just took Hampton’s spot as the best school in the city in 2001 and never looked back. This is a city thing and the city of Hampton has dominated the state of Virginia in football since forever honestly.

This is a new Phoebus from the 2001-2011 where we won 7 state titles in 11 years. Blunt built the program with this group of kids early in their rec league days and this set of kids has been playing together or against each other for 10+ years. All the best kids in the city are lined up to play at Phoebus now. There are a lot of 9th and 10th graders who will barely play this year that will be future D1 signees.

A.J. Wilson throws a 16-yard pass to JaMarcus Tyler on a jump-ball play, plus a 15-yard penalty on Warhill gives the Falcons a glimmer of hope to score and avoid overtime. A run up the middle gains just 1 as we tick under 30 seconds, though.

Wilson has pressure in his face from Ryan Kline and his pass over the top is just a pinch too far for Anthony Custis.

Big 3rd & 9 from the 31 coming up with 21 seconds to play.

Seamus Cassidy runs for a gain of 4 down to the 27, where Doug Pereira of York uses a time-out before 4th & 5 with 10 seconds to go.

Jackson Hays drops Anthony Cutis for a loss of 1 when he tries to stretch it outside. On 2nd & 11, the York offense plays it conservatively with a swing pass to Seamus Cassidy for the third time this evening. Cassidy wisely turns it back inside after he catches it and rumbles for 18 yards to move the chains. Another good pass by QB A.J. Wilson, finding Jack Porter for a gain of 7. They then go back to Cassidy on the ground for a gain of 3, inching closer to midfield at their own 47.

A holding penalty pushes York back to their own 37 with 1:27 to go and the clock is still ticking as it feels more and more like we are OT bound.

What a job by Carter Strickland on that pass play because the snap was wide, fired off to his left, but he was able to gather it in without a hitch and then loft it up for Isaiah Rembert to make a play in the far back corner of the end zone.

All knotted up in a dandy here at Wanner Stadium that just may be destined to go to overtime.

Touchback on the kickoff, so York has it at their own 20 with 4:13 to play, and they certainly don't want to give it back to Warhill here in regulation.

Carter Strickland with a couple of option read runs as the QB keeper is able to get the Lions +2 and then +10 to move the sticks down to the York 18.

Rather quietly, the sophomore triggerman Strickland is up to 101 yards rushing on nine attempts, helped greatly by that 68-yard TD scamper he had to start the 3rd period.

Elijah James, Ben Ward and this Falcons defense is laying the lumber, though. He's looking at 3rd & 6 from the 14. Elijah Williams gains 1 for Warhill on the handoff, bringing up 4th & 5 from the York 13 as we tick near 4 minutes to play.

Following Evam Muangkhao's run of 4 yards, the York Falcons appear to break a long one with Anthony Custis that would easily put him over 100 all-purpose yards on the night, but they call a holding penalty that pushes them back to their own 8.

York goes to the swing pass with Seamus Cassidy hauling it in from QB A.J. Wilson for 13 yards to bring up 3rd & 3. Max Schill then drops the Falcons ball carrier for a loss of a couple.

The punt is a near disaster for York as the ball hits the turf and then the punter literally kicks it on the ground. Referees huddle up and this one looks like what we'll get is an illegal kick. That will give Warhill even better field position than at the 38 of York with 8:03 to go.

So some special teams miscues plaguing both teams in this one. It'll put them at the 28 of the Falcons.

Carson Strickland scrambles for 10 yards on 3rd & 15 for Warhill, prompting Coach Jerome Rhodes of the Lions to leave his offense on the field instead of punting it away. Why not? The punting game has not exactly been a thing of beauty this evening.

Before they snap it though, the Lions will burn a time-out with 11:08 to go in regulation. This is a huge 4th & 5 for them from their own 46, and it appears after talking it over, he will call on his punt team now.

Could be a fake though.

How enormous are those 3rd down conversions? It's pretty much the game in a nutshell.

York tries a surprise onside / squib kick and it's nearly recovered, but Warhill is mighty thankful Max Schill was able to get the loose ball. The Lions begin this third possession of the half at their own 41 with 1:41 to go in the third period, suddenly trailing.

York moves the chains on 2nd & 10 with Seamus Cassidy powering ahead for 12 yards down to the Warhill 20.

Anthony Cutis has a rare mishap as he tries to tippy-toe on a run and he ends up losing 2. They then throw an incomplete pass on 2nd & 12, but the Falcons get bailed out on a questionable (at best) pass interference penalty. Freshman Kavon Compton teams with Ryan Kline to drop the Falcons backwards for a yard. But on 3rd & 2, it's Cassidy getting to the outside to the near sideline for a gain of five down to the 7-yard line of Warhill.

The Falcons absolutely must come away with points here, preferably a touchdown rather than a field goal, and ball security is of the utmost importance. They're starting to do a better job of controlling things in the trenches, although blocking Max Schill at his d-end spot is far from an easy task.

Warhill goes 3 & out with an offensive holding penalty not helping them and forcing them to take a deep shot on 3rd & 22, just overthrowing Elijah Rambert down the field.

Earlier on the possession, the Lions tried to get William & Mary commit Elijah Williams to break an explosive play on a quick screen, but the York defense was ready for it with Elijah James and Ben Ward reading it well.

The punt for Warhill is not a good one, giving the Falcons fantastic field position at the 32-yard line of Warhill with 4:30 to go in the third period. It was a net of just 18 yards.

Anthony Custis comes through a 33-yard TD run on 3rd & 2, just two plays after a swing pass from QB A.J. Wilson to Seamus Cassidy loosened the defense up a pinch.

Elijah Williams returns the ensuing kickoff 13 yards to Warhill's 26, where they will have it with 6:45 to go in the third period.

We've suddenly got some offensive fireworks after the defensive slugfest we saw in the first half.

Just when it appeared York was headed for a 3 & out on its first series of the second half, QB A.J. Wilson fires a pass over the middle and making a great leaping catch and somehow hanging on is Brayden Lemonds for 23 yards close to midfield.

Facing another critical third down - this one 3rd & 1 from the Warhill 49 - the Falcons convert it with Anthony Custis getting to the outside for a pickup of 8. Again, like a broken record from earlier, I'm getting him more touches, any way possible.
