Phoebus 14-0 vs. Heritage-Lynchburg 12-2
- Thread starter BleedingNavy
- Start date
That is wrong though. Since 2000 (so 21 years, as this year isnt over yet)
Phoebus: 2001, 2002, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2021. 8 Titles
Riverheads: 2000, 2006, 2010, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 (Spring 2021), 2021. 9 titles
Phoebus would smash Riverheads 10 out of 10 times...lol and they benefit from playing in their division. They are state champs with 9 titles. Thats a great accomplishment. But respectfully, they are not on Phoebus level at all.
Respectfully Riverheads wasnt in the conversation to begin with.
Respectfully, there are six divisions for a reason. Why even compare Phoebus to Riverheads? Or even envision a matchup between them? Apples and oranges.
All I know is…3 more days and the 3A forum (for football) will become a lot more enjoyable.

Not a Riverheads fan, so not saying it as my school. Phoebus would beat them 15 out of 10 times.
But you put INCORRECT information on here, Phoebus does not have the most championships in 21 years.
So even though you put something WRONG, should I have just said you are wrong, which would then resulted in you trying to say you are not and/or ask how you are wrong, which would have resulted in giving you the correct info?
The post was nothing against Phoebus or for anyone else, but when trying to brag (rightfully so) but also in same breath call them struggling, probably good to have it correct.
If LCA doesn't have a major injury and a visit by the local k-9 sniffing crew, they might be playing in the game Saturday.
What did you see on film from Heritage to make you think they will give up 42 points or only score 14?
No one is talking about the Pioneers losing Steele for the year. Injuires, stupid decisions are all apart of sports...teams move on with the next man up. iiwii= it is what it is

If it is only about winning championships, then not many teams would meet the criteria..............
Not many teams are powerhouses. It is about winning championships.
Exactly! Yrs past has nothing to do with this yr. Every 4 yrs a new crop of kids come to play.
This Riverheads vs Phoebus convo that started in this thread is why I left these boards. Too many people on here that just dont know football. Riverheads owns 1A, they will not own 2A next yr when they HAVE to move up. You cant get away with that single wing bullcrap at 3A and up anymore. This Phoebus team would beat a Riverheads 100 x out of 100.
Lets not count out coaching...Bradley at 1A William Campbell (coach Smith from appo under him) has 3 state championships as well if I remember correctly. He was coach of Cedric Pearman that went on to play for Bengals.
Coach Blunt from Phoebus has the same humble spirit that Coach Smith has. I see the similarities. He loves and cares for the kids he coaches. Met him in Hampton since I moved out this way. We have hung out quite a few times. Great freaking guy! He actually played for Phoebus growing up as well.
Yeah Blunt was starting LB for first state title team in 2001.
Maybe Phoebus benefits from playing in their division. Maybe Highland Springs and Freedom would beat them 10 out of 10 times.
At the end of the day it doesn't matter what division you play in. You're playing vs similar competition and no one has done it like Riverheads in VA. Not even Phoebus during their run.
I'm not so sure about that. They put 62 on the board against a good Lord Botetourt team in 2021. They may not win the title every year but they will be semi finals every year
