Sherando Warriors (12-1) vs Phoebus Phantoms (12-0)
- Thread starter Phoebus Fan
- Start date
Sherando Fans - can you give us the skinny on the Warriors, please? Stats, players to watch, base offense/defense, etc. Thanks in advance!
Qb does great job running ball. Throws efficiently. Backs are not huge threat. Don't look for this to be close.
so watching them reminds of Brentsville District from the class 3 days. Won’t be much of a game after the 1sr quarter…probably before that
Phoebus wins big in this one. I don't expect them to give up more than 7. Salem was a good team this yr but not many of us had them going deep in the playoffs and definitely not beating Phoebus.
Looks like Sherando players have entered the IG live chat this week again…but they’re a lot more humble this week.
This year, 3 would definitely provide excellent competition (I won't predict a win or loss) - Maury, OS, and Hayfield. Perhaps Varina and LCA. Hopefully the Varina matchup will come to fruition v v soon....
LCA would give them a good game with Gideon Davidson running the ball. I’m not quite sure if LCA would beat Phoebus but it’d be a good game. LCA gives up points but they win week in and week out. I do wonder how big of a hit LCA will take next year when Gideon is gone.
I remember the chip game a couple years ago when LCA gave them a game. Not sure how that LCA team compares to this year's team (aside from GD).
I don't think LCA would be withing21 of Phoebus this year. They are pretty one dimensional on offense. Davidson is their only real playmaker. LCA will still be pretty good next year. Of course they will not be able to replace Davidson but their backup RB Cowhert is pretty talented too. He would start for most teams and he still has another year. They are young upfront. They return 4 starters on the OL. I expect them to contend for the district and region title again along with Heritage.
2021 LCA was the best team they have had since joining VHSL. 2021 LCA would beat 2024 LCA by 21+
Soph at UNC. Heard one UNC fan describe him as "the biggest bust in UNC history" if that gives you any indication. A lot of "looks like Tarzan, plays like Jane" as well.
I remember then freshman Markus Hopson making Rice check out the game on defense and only play offense in that state game. M But i hope he jumps in portal and finds a better fit.
Markus was giving Zach Rice that work in the trenches that day. LCA were much bigger than Phoebus that year, but the Phantoms had superior speed and athleticism.
I'm picking Phoebus, but it may not be the blowout that some are expecting. It looked bad for Sherando at the start of the Salem game but they took the first punch and controlled most of the rest of the game. They have to be good to beat Salem. Everyone who gets this far is good.
Let's do some higher math.
1. Salem 3 tds better last year to this year.
2. Phoebus 7 points better than Salem last year even though Salem played them even until last play.
3. Phoebus about same as last year.
4. Playing at Phoebus +7
FINAL. 35-0 or. 42-7

Salem ain’t nowhere near Phoebus level this year just being honest. I don’t see a way where it’s not a blowout…unless Phoebus plays bad
