Phoebus is Phoebus. These players have been together for three to four years. They hv beat great teams and won 49 in a row. 3 straight chips. Including beating up a King George team that beat Varina lastyear. They know how to win. On Saturday, that experience along with 6 returning all state players will make some difference. Varina is a very good team but they don't present anything that Phoebus hasnt seen. Again, Phoebus is a veteran team. They live for big games like this. The same team (Highland Springs) that Varina beat 28-19, Phoebus defense allowed 7 points and 3 first downs. It's always been one game at a time. Varina is a worthy opponent. On Saturday, Phoebus' experience will show up. I can't wait for this game. It's another opportunity for Phoebus to show who they are.
Y’all talk like Phoebus runs some complex, complicated scheme. The Varina kids been playing athletes like Phoebus has since youth league. Probably played a lot of Phoebus’s kids growing up with Glen Lea. All those scores from the regular season doesn’t matter. Y’all gone have to line it up and beat Varina.
 
I find it funny that some people think that Varina doesn't have a chance in this game. This will be the first game all season where Phoebus will face an opponent that can match their athleticism or best it. Yes I know they played Highland Springs and Warwick but I also know that Varina is more athletic than both of those teams this year. That's not me speaking as a fan. That's speaking from 18 years as a high school coach in Virginia.

I just saw the article in the Richmond Times News - Everyone Doubted Us. My question to Varina fans.

How can you doubt a senior lead team with 6 all state players - 3 chips, that last lost as freshman in 2021 before the playoffs to 6A State Champ Oscar Smith (757)???

I keep hearing Phoebus ain't played nobody. According to Varina fans- they have it all. On saturday, Phoebus will play somebody great. Let's see what happens...
Well what should the Varina side do then? Just shut up and be happy to be here? You Phoebus folks have a hard time seeing any other team past your own 2 feet. I'm not gonna say Varina was seriously doubted this year because were a consensus top Top 5 C4 pick.

Also what are you even talking about. Phoebus has been the clear cut favorite all year, but anytime someone says Phoebus ain't some unstoppable juggernaut you all lose your minds. And yes statistically Phoebus played a patty cake schedule compared to Varina but we know that will mean nothing come Saturday. Line it up.

I was reading earlier that people thought this would boil down to a Phoebus vs Huguenot title game.... Varina met the UNDEFEATED Falcons a couple of weeks ago and handed them a 26-0 thumping! Then beat a strong Dinwiddie team 41-27 to win the Region Title. Last week, people were picking Tusky over Varina. Again Varina delivered an undeniable 28-0 drubbing! I think the Blue Devils are licking their chops and sharpening their Devil Horns to show these Phantoms that they are NOT invincible! Good luck to both teams, it's going to be a good one for sure!

Man we will see yall tomorrow in Lynchburg. The narrative that Phoebus fans get mad if anybody says we aren’t invincible is hilarious. We just simply defend our boys like anybody else defenders their boys. I get it tho….safe travels to everyone going to Lynchburg. Let’s have a clean game with no injuries.

This is fun stuff! Of course I spend most of the time badmouthing Varina and wishing them bad luck, but they are our brothers, cousins and otherwise family! I am a diehard Springer, but these 2 clash every year that's usually the end of season duel that produces a State Champion caliber playoff team EVERY year! My Springers were a bit down this year but the Devils have emerged as a strong contender! Highland Springs HS and Varina HS are less than 10 miles apart and they all grew up together here in Eastern Henrico County, played rec ball together and most went to the same middle school together.
All of Eastern Henrico (and the rest of Henrico County) are rooting for Varina to bring home the bacon and hoist the trophy!!!.... and look out for basketball too. Varina is probably the top Class 4 Hoops team too! Defending 2 time back to back state basketball titles, they could make it 3 in a row this year!

As much as the two sides talk trash, we’re all one when the other is playing in the big game. So much love that when Varina and HS won it in basketball a few years ago, they had a joint parade. That’s how we get down on the East End!

Varina’s basketball team beat the state C6 runner up (Patriot) last night 79-49 🫨 Mind you Kaleb Wyche is the starting PG, DaMari D1 Carter is the starting forward, and TeeJay Cheatham, Jaiden Walker, and Bray Hood are reserves that play a lot. They beat Patriot with 7 players (5 that actually play). Varina’s basketball team is loaded.

I say it all the time, the East End is loaded. Between HS and Varina, the area is truly one of the best concentrations of athletes on the East Coast. Look at the stats!!
 
Actual footage of me being mad that I have to miss both games at LU this weekend. Even more pissed at the reason that I have to miss. The wife's family decided to have an ugly sweater party tomorrow, of all the days to have a party! :mad:

I really don’t think anybody cares. Y’all are a good program but don’t have anything to do with me 🤣
Phoebus is a great program. Everyone knows that Bo. Varina is a good program seeking a championship. You mention Varina playing athletes like Phoebus has. I hear you. My question is what happen last year against King George Athletes? Now what did Phoebus do to the same team? I'm just speaking facts. But I like Varina. I think they are a year away. Everyone keep saying Phoebus ain't played Noone right? Ok you guys should dominate then right? What's your prediction? I got Phoebus 27 - Varina 16. But anything could happen. If Varina wins, hats off to them. If Phoebus wins, put some respect on thier name since everyone saying they ain't played nobody and don't have a complicated scheme.

Hampton won the Class 4 title last year.
 
Why are you disgusted General172011? Why are you taking Phoebus. Just curious. Whatever the reason is, I respect your unbiased opinion.
That’s the QB from 2010 Dinwiddie team that lost to Phoebus in state semis after being up 13-0 late in game. I’m sure his beef is lifelong with us and i get it

2008 it was 13-6 at half an they came out and took the entire 3rd to score then we went 3 & out an they scored in less than 2 minutes to open the game up…. (08 is the greatest High School team I’ve ever seen!)

2010 💔💔💔💔 smfh I hate even talking about it.

Being unbiased, Phoebus has a better defense than Dinwiddie this year a will undoubtably be the best defense has seen all year. I think Varina will make plays but the thing about Phoebus in these situations (state games) you have to consistently make plays and keep the crowd out of the game. Once that chant starts going momentum usually shifts really really fast. Varina has to play mistake free, if it’s close in the 4th im almost 100% certain Phoebus wins

People saying Phoebus ain't played nobody. Yet this team has over 30 seniors that has won 3 chips in a row. Noone is invincible and Varina will face an experienced team that knows how to win big games. Varina has done a great job this year and in the playoffs. Let's see what happens...

You arguing with yourself. Nobody has discredited Phoebus. All I’m saying is we coming. You’ll see this time tomorrow.

I would definitely go the games and skip the party if the party was in Lynchburg. But it's in Fredericksburg.
