Phoebus 25 King George 13 FINAL
- Thread starter Phoebus Fan
- Start date
What was up with King George #13 at the handshake line? Broke away from severe KG coaches to get back in the line
I said it from jump because I’ve personally experienced it, TWICE!!!!! They just wear you down the entire game & by the 4th Quarter your body slowly starts to ache for all the body shots that’s when they land a haymaker
Man I'm way up in the northern part of the state and have never seen anything that bad. Probably the worst I have ever seen, probably the worst anyone has ever seen. VHSL should be ashamed. Oh good luck next weekend, hopefully with different officials.
Man them refs came out of half looking to call anything they could find on KG 👀
Congratulations @Phoebus Fan @Kenneth Harris @PHSBlue&Gold. Pulling for the 75 to bring it home next week. All love fellas 🤝🏽
The refs are from Region A. VHSL doesn't use "neutral" refs until championship game. I coached in a Class 4 state semifinal game last year on our home field and we had refs from our local association. They had worked some of our district games during the regular season.
I like King George football team overall. I can see where they are talented but I don't think their approach to today's game matched what was at stake or their opponent's capabilities. The Phoebus coaching staff has been in situations 10x worse than what they faced today. The KG offense was responsible for 5 points today. The field goal was a give away on a special teams blunder, which the Phantoms have made before but survived and they scored on a 2 point play. I do not believe the King George offense left it all on the field. Their defense did a good job but not a great job. I think this showing is the best they could do. I congratulate them on their season. Since they are just starting to experience winning these last 2 years today's game must be more than a learning experience. They must become a much more aggressive program.

Yeah because KG couldn’t block Reddick and Stevenson so they started holding every play.
Yessir. What’s yours thoughts on the dline?
I was at the Salem/Tusky game but watched y’all online. Dawgs everywhere. The 🅿️ DL is the best in the state, no matter the classification. I say this after seeing Maury in person too.
If you have never watched a football game at Darling Stadium you can't know how frustrating it is that every game is National Yellow Flying Flag Day. They love calling PFs aftwr the plays are over.
The QB for King George was throwing the ball to the cheerleaders on the track more than his own receivers. The refs were abysmal for both teams equally.
Agreed. I had watched KG several times and I'm sure Phoebus' D had alot to do with their play but it seemed liked KG's QB was overwhelmed by the situation. I thought I read where he threw for over 3000 yards and 40 some TD's but you could never tell by today. By far his worst effort of the year. Hell when your overthrowing recievers by 5 to 10 feet uh yards...... Maybe the kid was sick or something but if that was the case they may have been better off with the back up in. Anywho good luck next week against Salem.
Congrats Phoebus. Very solid team all around, no weaknesses (key ingredient to a State Championship). Was hoping to see KG break through the glass but the Phantoms eventually took over. Salem was susceptible to the pass and QB runs. I believe Phoebus has the D to key on Lewis and keep him in check. Hope for a good state final but I think the Phantoms win by 3 scores. I don't think it will be an immediate blowout but by the late 3rd-early 4th quarter in hand. I don't know if it's like this every year but I remember in the final in 2018 against Heritage the players coming off the bus with all the fans, man were they having a great time. All the confidence in the world, music and lots of fun. I told my wife, "Man I'd love to be part of that". Best wishes against a tough, disciplined Salem team. They have some horses and a wear you down Oline.
Because they didn't face defensive lines that could rush the passer liker Phoebus can. He is a good QB but it's hard for any QB at any level to hit his targets when he's running for his life all game.
I was sitting out in the rain watching it. I kept waiting for KG to do something different. They never did. Compared to what I saw from their highlight reels I believe they stayed with the horse they rode all year and that horse was spent at the half. Hats off to their defense for winning the first half but the Foxes were fortunate to receive a gift of a muffed punt.
I tried telling you that a few weeks ago homie!
Even with that fact. Dude shouldn’t be missing WRs as bad as he was. He looked like it was his first game of the season. Completely shell shocked.
I just expected way more after all the hype about WRs and was really let down. I want to know his passing numbers.
Three really good receivers and subpar defenses
Idk if I agree there. They were calling it on WR’s blocking downfield. Horrible officiating
If you say so. KG was holding almost every play…go rewatch game when the condensed version is released. Anthony Reddick and Taysean Stevenson were held nonstop.
They were from the Peninsula Association which is the home officials association for Phoebus.
I bet King George was called for eight to ten penalties more than Phoebus and had at least 80 more penalty yards as well. I've asked the beat writer for The Free Lance-Star. Hopefully, he will get back to me.
Not when u are holding every play. Phoebus was just the better team. Great season!!
Yea would like to see that stat. Wouldn't be surprised if those numbers are doubled.
Looks like home cooking
