Who will be MV’s QB this year?seen this for 4a wanted to see the most talented in 3a
Dixon and Jones from Norcom are definitely standout players. Those Phoebus picks are spot on also. Keep your eyes on Thai Baldwin/Austin Gilliam/Anthony Turner from Phoebus also! Walter Vick at Lakeland. Logan Koontz and Stylz Gardner are two names for the future to remember for Tabb!
The O-Line will not have much size this year at all but I believe that the success Phoebus has had during the 7x7 season has given folks a glimpse of what type of playmaking ability that this team possess. I've been told that this team is the best "character" team Blunt has had since he has taken over. Norcom has a ton of talent outside of Jones and Dixon and they have experience. I think last year people expected Norcom to be a serious title contender and then the injury bug bit them. The experience of going from an underdog to favorite to afterthought may have humbled any sense of Norcom players feeling as if "they arrived" and made them hungrier this season. If so Norcom may be a sleeper pick to win the eastern district which has gotten a lot tougher this season. I will say that Phoebus and Norcom should finish as the top 757 3A teams in "18".Great info. Norcom will be much more balanced this year than last year. They have a big strong QB with a very shifty RB. Their O-Line looked pretty impressive in that Portsmouth Jamboree against Indian River and Western Branch. The Greyhound defense will be as good as last year. I remember hearing about those other kids from Phoebus that you named earlier. I heard that Anthony "AJ" Turner will be the next great Phoebus back of the future. Hopefully, we'll see Phoebus return to the Power I this season because IMHO, that Split Back formation hurt the running game tremendously last year. However, nothing matters if the big boys up front don't open holes. I thought that Phoebus o-line play had taken several steps back in recent years.That must improve.
My Early preseason prediction from what I’ve heard is LB vs Hopewell in state championship. Both teams has a lot of talent coming back. Other teams in mix , northside, Phoebus, MV, who else am I missing?
I'm not sold on Northside. I watched them on film a few times last year and I wasn't impressed. Sure they will be better but I think they're the 3rd best team in their region behind LB and Abingdon.Add Northside in there.
For MV, last year they started 3 sophomore receivers and sophomore QB, so they really should be moving the ball a lot better this year. I really don’t know much right now about there defense but they have a very good defensive coach. A name I think to look out for is jakeel dalton, prob best athlete on team, played slot receiver last year. Not sure who the rb will be. Can’t wait for the Salem scrimmage to see how the young guys have improved. I think northside has a lot returning also.
Coach Hughes? If that’s who is out then that is tall shoes to fill. Coach Hughes is one of the best in the business.I believe one of the big receivers is out long term with an injury, same goes for the senior QB Greenfield. I also think that the long time DL coach is out as well. Injuries are never good, but historically MV is a place where depth isn't as big of an issue if injuries do arise. Next man up.
If my sources are correct, I think it is Coach Hughes. The D-Line has been a big emphasis in the Blue Funk Defense. It will be interesting to see how they move forward without Coach Hughes.Coach Hughes? If that’s who is out then that is tall shoes to fill. Coach Hughes is one of the best in the business.
