The most impressive thing is that it was all predicted at the beginning of the 2001 season.
Phoebus Phantoms 2022
- Thread starter PHSBlue&Gold
- Start date
Naw...you was serious. Don't try to switch up now...lol I'm still wondering who your team is??
Where was I serious exactly? Also why does my team affiliation matter? Does that somehow give more or less credit to my post? Are you planning on commenting on their win/loss record?
Liberty Cheating Academy will stay 3a. They were fearful of being booted from the Seminole into the Dogwood where a lot of schools do not fill JV teams for smaller sports.
Just curious. Virtually everyone on this board keep things real. Since you had so much to say about Phoebus....Why don't you rep your squad? There is no shame to that, but maybe it is....because you still haven't said who your team is. lol
It’s not about the opponent. This year’s team is further ahead of last year’s team at this point. Nobody in 3A is beating Phoebus this year barring injuries. Find it hard to believe somebody has the offensive line to block Phoebus. You’ve probably never seen Phoebus to understand you just wanted to include an opinion on a message board…
Glad I got so much hate for talking about Phoebus and everyone saying no one on here was predicting a championship.
Mr confidence like I said I hope you don't have to eat crow in the end good luck to you and your team
Yall need help with sarcasm. I do not think Phoebus will run away with it like most on here think. I was just simply pointing out how crazy it is to anoint them champs a couple weeks in.
But the thing you provided nothing to the argument just a bunch of weird sarcasm bs. Phoebus as a program is back, because the administration that wanted to put a chokehold on the program has been gone for 4 years and magically when they’re gone we got new life and back to dominating. I understand you probably don’t know what a dominating Phoebus machine looks like but that program that won 7 titles from 2001-2011 is back. If you get a chance to check out the stream tonight we play a very hyped up Warwick team. It’ll be live on YouTube.
Believe me I know all to well about the Phoebus machine and they truly were during that run. It is good for Virginia high school football for Phoebus as a program to be back.
With Phoebus going back to D4, there’s only matchup I want to see. I’ve wanted it since 2010 when I walked off the field as a senior…. Thought I’d see it in 2013 but they were upset by Kings Fork. Hopefully next year I’ll be able to witness redemption 🤞🏾
Respect. Classic match up. Would love to get that matchup back. Y’all don’t even know but that game gave the next year’s less talented team the confidence to complete that 4peat with all those close games we had in that playoff run.
That 2011 team honestly had no business winning states (Phoebus people kill me about that opinion).
Me and Caleb Taylor talked before we played that State Semi Final & both of us knew whoever won was winning States. We had em for 40 mins an then the wheels came off smh. It’s been 12 years and I still remember every play from that 4th quarter like it happened yesterday. Coach Sexton talked to me at the All Star game and told me “I’m kinda glad you were banged up that game” I told him Yeah y’all got lucky lol
You're the only person on here that claims someone has anointed Phoebus as Champs in Sept. I originally stated that Phoebus will be a tough out. Doesn't mean we can't be beat! Any given Friday! I guess you wanted to exclude that statement, huh?
Did you miss the post where someone claimed no one in 3A would beat Phoebus? Not sure how you think the playoffs work but if you go all season and do not lose to a 3A team they give you the trophy at the end.
3A is just a region not the Class 3 VHSL State Championship. So did you read that post carefully?
We had a similar discussion in the stands last night. Regardless of the outcome, we just want to see more Dinwiddie-Phoebus games played. May the better team win. Whenever and wherever these two teams meet I can guarantee you a packed stadium. And if the Generals should win, I suspect the celebration will be like no other.
Great to see you on our forum. Please stop by the press booth in two weeks. We would love to see you, and we will have a little something to eat and drink that we would love to share with you.
Ok, I’ll be there 🤝🏾 I haven’t been able to catch a game this year because of work but I’m off that Friday so I’ll be there bright and early.
Phoebus Class of 1983 here. I have been watching Phoebus off and on since 1977 circa Derek Jenkins. Football in Virginia is vastly different from 1990-2011 when Hampton, Phoebus and a number of other East Region teams kept stealing state titles. I am just saying to be careful, with the quality of high school football in Va, thinking no one in D3 is going to beat them. Heck, I want them to win. But, ironically, yes I have seen and reported on Phoebus football a once or twice. As an aside, I donned the JV uniform 10 times.
I stand by my statement. Show me an offensive line that can block Phoebus defensive line in 3A.
It hurts doesn’t it? When you say something that is as far from the truth as, “Gandalf will be at Darling Stadium this weekend doing magic tricks,” and cannot just say, “Oh so you have seen Phoebus play at least a half of football.? My bad, I was wrong.” Well at least we both root for the Phantoms. Enjoy the season. Let us hope we win by at least 1 point in each game and bring home number 9.
We were very proud of the Generals on this day, but they just didn't finish the deal against Phoebus. Two really good teams battled it out on a very frigid Saturday in Dinwiddie. For those that may not know this, Phoebus beat Dinwiddie in the 2008 Class 5 State final @ Lane Stadium 37-13. It was cold that day too and the lopsided loss made the long ride back home unbearable. Maybe someday the rivalry will be renewed.

Keep your head up big man. We couldn't have been more proud of you and our the team on this day. Our hearts broke with you. Not sure if this loss or the loss to Salem in the 2016 final bothers me more. The ironic thing is in both games our defense had a chance to close the game out of fourth down (2 minutes left) and did not. Dinwiddie has beaten Salem twice since then, but has yet to face Phoebus again. Hope we get a chance at both of them in the next few years. God bless you sir!
Hey Phoebus high school could schedule a home and home against either Dinnwiddie high school or Hopewell high school. Those would be great games.
Was the fieldhouse built the year after this? Looks crazy with all that empty space on the hill.
Yes it is but I responded to a previous post that said 3A and people tried to back track and claim they meant region 3A
