Cool and you clearly didn’t watch the game. We legit didn’t show anything lol. And Maury is the best team in the state talent wise this year. No other team in the state has as many 4 stars and a 5 star on their roster. This comment was funny. You’re talking like Maury ain’t a dream team this year.
This is why i didn’t really want to offer my opinion when asked because i knew it would lead to the dumba$$ comments like “Phoebus is almighty and everyone should stay on the bus”. All i said is Phoebus has the advantage in the trenches. I clearly answered a person who asked me my opinion on Phoebus Vs those 3 Richmond area teams. Don’t get in your feelings. I got nothing but respect for Dinwiddie and Mills.
See more complete Bs on this board. Phoebus can’t schedule big teams because we are locked in to a 9 game district schedule that VHSL will not let us out of plus Hampton City will take the money we make them but wont give back to help us travel places. We scheduled Oscar Smith to complete the series this year. Nobody is ducking smoke cut the BS…crazy all i said was Phoebus has the advantage in the trenches which they clearly do and y’all come left and right with nonsense.
Thank you! We’ve been trying to drop
Maury plays in a 8 team district which gives them 3 out of conference games. Do some research first
I’d be shocked if they don’t score over 35
Sorry I got you riled up. My statement was tongue in cheek (sarcastic) and I even typed lol. Please read my previous post about the Phoebus line play. I agreed with you totally about Phoebus having the advantage in the interior line. In fact, I even said we (Dinwiddie) were light in the tail (small). Advantage Phoebus! I have never once said Dinwiddie could beat Phoebus this year.
If the district approves it the VHSL will do the same. We are not playing Colonial Heights this year.
I’d be shocked if they do! The Varina D will be better than ANY D they have seen in over a year.
I called a Varina State Title after watching them play Highland Springs in the regular season that year. None of my friends believed me but that game told me alot about Varina. I was hurt that they played that bad in the Semis I just knew that season was going to end in a ring
Search Danville Sports Head and Varina on VA Preps back in 2017/2018, I warned everyone about that 2020 class (got into many debates with @HooSprings that year) when they were sophomores. Varina went through so many lean years and that class got them back into contention. That particular year they made the move to put Bobby Dunn at QB and you could see that first Manchester game that they were going to be a huge problem even though they lost. Had he not had two tore ACLs before his junior year, they would’ve won that year with him 100% healthy.
They were absolutely loaded at the skill position that year an their line play was good as well. Isaiah Paige was a treat to watch that entire year
Bro as great as Zay was, Barry Hill was just as good!! WILD the numbers he put up that year. Zo Ford (ODU), Lorenz Terry (UVA), Jailin Walker (JMU), etc. They were loaded!
Why would you play a regular season game and not "show anything"? Doesn't make any sense.
Keep your strong opinions going sir and keep your posts coming. We need inside info from those that know. Without posts like yours this board can be stale, cautious, apologetic and limited to 2 regions.
I believe that even after last season's championship, just how good Freedom really was/is, is still being overstated. Based on my research last season Freedom was not better or worse than Dinwiddie or Phoebus the D3 champ. These 3 teams were even. That was based on scores of games involving the same or similar opponents. Hence, Varina did keep the game within 21 points and scored 27! Unless Freedom is going to be playing an entirely cupcake schedule this season, the D6 champ's slip is showing. They are in trouble. Highland Springs is the least of their worries. But I wish them further success.
The playoffs will be interesting. I said last year that the top teams in each of the higher classes could give each other good games, and I believe that this year. I still think Freedom deserves that respect. In both of their games this season, they went on the road and quickly raced out to large leads, and then scored only one touchdown in the second half. I've only seen highlights, so I have no idea what happened at Varina, nor can tell if they are hitting the brakes during these games. But I wouldn't be surprised if they are playing for the long term and keeping their roster healthy, as I think they have guys that go both ways. I still think next week's game with DeMatha will be a better test of where they stand, and from what I've heard, DeMatha is probably the strongest team they should see this year. I'm planning on seeing that one live.
Yeah, they played terrible the 2nd half an Varina played tremendous defense the 2nd half. It’s been well stated Varinas defense will keep them in a lot of games this year. Freedom got lackadaisical with the ball thinking Varina was just a regular Northern team an it almost cost them. I still have concerns over Varina’s offensive identity but they showed me a lot of resolve last night!! Region 4B once again is going to be a slobberknocker
There was a lot of hype coming out of the Matoaca camp this summer. I think that’ll cool off. We shall see how the Warriors respond but also what a good win for Warhill to travel into unfamiliar territory an control that game from start to finish
Still a lot of football left, but lookin' like I might eat some crow here. Butler up 30-14 on Langston Hughes.
Varina was good in that 2018-2019 year but since we are talking about ifs, if Dreshaun Taylor plays that year, HSHS easily beats Varina, Maury, and Stonebridge that year and earns their 5th straight title. He sat out that sophomore and transferred to LCA his junior year.
