"Play with anybody" is a cute phrase that has no basis in reality. OS 2021 pitched 6 shutouts, never gave up more than 17, and 63 points total in 14 games while routinely scoring 50+ and never fewer than 42. That was a really good OS team, period. It's key to note that I mentioned 14 games because OS played 15 games. That 15th game was against one of the very top schools in the country and OS got pasted. That game was 21-0 after one and ended 49-0. The C6 state champ who was never remotely challenged all year got beaten by nearly 50 points, would have likely had a running clock put on them by the backups and would have lost by 2+ scores to the JV.
That was easily the closest Virginia has ever come to seeing that this state (and the mid-Atlantic in general) operates on a different plane of existence to the top tier of HS football states. Sure, Good Counsel can be up there, Miramar was a decent opponent for HSHS, and Glenville was a tough one for Dinwiddie but be realistic, folks. And if you still don't believe, get your AD to pick up the phone and give Texas or Cali a call and go get humbled, because that's precisely what will happen.
