Returning starter, Alex brandon, and based on GW’s 7v7 at UNC Lipscomb will be playing a lot of rb and Keshawn Waller who is very dynamic.
Va vs NC match ups 2025
- Thread starter Mic Honcho
- Start date
Who will be the QB? Thought GW was a QB away from winning the region last year.
Not really. Im from the 757 and now live in Charlotte. VA Top teams can play with NC top teams. Springs prove that against defending NC champ Vance. They won. Phoebus travel to Charlotte for a jamboree a while back and whipped Butler, Richmond Senior and West Charlotte. Only losing to Indepedence, which noone could beat at the time. VA can compete with NC.
Springs was not stumped. They lost by 9 and dominated Chambers, formerly Vance the following year.
Im going to that. Rooting for Varina cause its VA 1st with me.
Here we go… 1st game in Richmond wasn’t close. 9 points sure… Chambers shut them down and named their brand new stadium “Chambers North”.
Dominated is insane 😂 they won by 1 score and Chambers was up 17-0 at 1 point.
Were you even there? I was on the sidelines for both games…
Yes I was there. Chambers was up but Springs cameback and shut them down in Charlotte. Im not a Springs fan but I call it like I see it. You acting like Springs got dominated like Varina did in the championship to Phoebus 23 -6. Im sure you was on the sideline for that too. Springs and Chambers are 1 and 1 against each other. You act like Springs won in overtime.
Competition between rising Jr. Oct Covington and rising soph Josiah Saunders. Saunders has a lot of upside but was hurt most of last year which hindered his development. Covington has led JV's last 2 years and knows the offense. I'd say so far this summer they are neck and neck. I don't know that the Eagles will rely on QB to win games as much as to manage them. The key to their success will be their ability to run and stop the run.
BTW, big Neo Cabell fan here. He was a solid QB for 3 years and will be missed. The loss to Salem was not on him. Salem outplayed GW overall and the 2 big first half runs were too much to overcome.
1. Chambers was up 24-7 on Springs in Richmond in the 4th quarter and HS got a late score and lost 24-13. Game wasn’t ever in doubt.
2. HS beat them the next year after being down 17-0 in the second quarter. HS won the game 28-20. The game in Charlotte is easily one of the best high school games I’ve ever seen and probably the best statement win a Virginia team has in years.
3. Just correcting your dominating statement. I don’t know how HS dominated Chambers in a 1 score game and Springers had to stop them at the 1 yard line as time ran out to win the game..
You’ll see me there ima be very noticeable. Tall guy with the Dinwiddie gear on lol
Springs had to dominate too by shutting Chambers down and scoring 28 points to 3. It could go both ways. Since u be on the sidelines, how did Varina blowout go against Phoebus. Didn't Phoebus score 20 unanswered points and had almost 200 yards rushing?? Don't disrespect Springs bc they fare better than Varina in big games and championships. Varina will be special this year but win the big game 1st before talking about another program that has won the chip a few times under Loren Johnson. Dont forget to answer the above question bc I know you were on the sidelines.
Dinwiddie is a very good program. I met Coach Mills years back at a Nike Coaching Clinic. He is a excellent coach, and even a better man.
The discussion at hand has nothing to do with Varina/Phoebus. I don’t know what you Phoebus fans want from me 🤣 read what I posted on the C6 boards. I sang Phoebus praises and though I’ve followed Varina since 2017, I’ve been very realistic about the current state of coaching at Varina. Phoebus was the better coached team and dominated Varina’s front 7. You’d think Varina would’ve learned a valuable lesson from Huguenot on pregame trash talk? As a realist, they are still not on Phoebus level even with all of the transfers this offseason.
I’m a Chambers/Vance guy. I know those Chambers guys personally and worked very closely with their program. Disrespected Loren Johnson is insane 🤣. Was the first to hit Mayo and LJ up after they came to the crib and won. Some of you guys take this thing too serious.
No. Not too serious. I have my opinion just like you. Springs and Vance/Chambers are 1 and 1 against each other. I was just giving you the same energy you was putting out. I agree with you abt pregame trash talk. It means nothing and doesnt score any points.
Jamboree 20 years ago 😂. Not even a real game. That's a bit of a reach!
How about New Bern vs Maury. That was about same time as that Chambers vs Springs series. I guess we'll just leave that out.
I'm not saying you're wrong. But you really don't know who you are until you play somebody. The schools in NC play some of the best teams in SC and GA. VA? How would you know?
I shouldn't say "somebody." I mean someone capable of beating your ass. Someone beating you play after play as my guy Rickie Clark would say. That's how you know your limits.

Chambers vs Highland Springs was 1-1. Being around that team, they had smacked the Springers the previous season and “The Lick Back Tour” was more focused on beating Gibbons, who beat Chambers in the 4a championship the previous year. the week prior. I actually talked to LJ that day in Rock Hill and he said that 2022 team was better than the 2021 team that beat them in Richmond. HS won, but Chambers caught the case of having too much talent that year and thought they could turn it on and off when they wanted to. Highland Springs, Hough and AC Reynolds made them pay. That HS team was special and in my eyes is up there with the 2017 team. Make no mistake about it though, Chambers whipped them in their new stadium. I still call it JC Chambers North and I’m a Varina guy 🤣
Rising 6’4 sophomore Josiah Saunders who has a lot of upside and good arm talent or Octavian Covington who led jv eagles to back to back district championships. Saunders broke thumb last year as freshman and missed a large portion of year but came back and played receiver on varsity the last 3 games and had some success.
