I’ve literally watched you go back on your words nonstop this season alone. So you’re doing a lot of stamping and changing your mind in my eyes…just a bunch of wishing going on.
Varina vs Huguenot
- Thread starter ThevinStealberg
- Start date
What have I went back on? Dinwiddie, Varina and Huguenot have all made their case for the best team in the area.
You made some ridiculous claim earlier in the year that Dinwiddie was clearly the best team in 4A. Now you can’t decide what d you riding now Varina or Huguenot. Just stop hating on Phoebus I watched these boys grow up and see how hard they work. I’d appreciate if grown men didn’t just openly hate on their work.
Nobody is hating on Phoebus. Everyone still has them as the favorite. I'm just saying they ain't a world beater like Maury this year. Or even like yall's team in 22.
Clearly hating because no one has called them world beaters. You did one of the worst breakdowns I’ve seen when talking football. A bunch of talking with zero context behind it.
I like Phoebus, different animal down in the 7-5. Coaching matters too, Blount has his men ready week in and week out.
Context ? I watched the games brother. I promise you I know what I'm talking about. Yall's offense can be contained by any of the top 3 4B schools if you want context. But again you can't handle the thought of someone else talking about ways another team might challenge yall and its you doing the hating.
You literally dropped those scores without any context about how lock down the defense was in all those games. How tf am i hating i clearly said KG had a high powered offense and Salem was the best defense we’ve seen in the 4 year run. Plus none of yall have given any “ways another team might challenge Phoebus”. You’re literally just talking at this point…I’ll pass on this dumbass convo.
I don’t think people realize how hard it is to win 45 games in a row and keep a group of 14-18 year olds focused for 45 straight weeks.
^^You every time somebody doesn’t pander to Phoebus… You cry more than my 1 year old nephew.
804 Football is deep. No hate over here. I know 100% of the Varina boys and follow Huguenot and Dinwiddie when they’re playing. Respect to all 3 teams. I’ll always be complimentary.
Here goes this dumb narrative again…you’re the one who even brought Phoebus up. This is the line that is said when football can’t be talked.

You say we're hating on Phoebus when literally everyone says yall are the favorite. You go off the rails anytime someone says anything about another team being able to challenge Phoebus You make it a dumbass convo because you get so emotional at us not worshipping Phoebus.
Cry now, cry later. Like I’ve said all year.. All 3 804 teams will be ready for whomever in the big game if we can get past King George and the C champion. Don’t matter to me which one, just tired of hearing you cry and moan when people don’t agree with you. 804 gone whip that tail and make you cry even more.
Yall got it. Run with the narrative idgaf. Talk football next time.
Now back to topic of the post. I like Varina because i think they’ll win the battle of the trenches.

Phoesbus defense was far more dominant against HSHS, the springs actually didn’t have too many troubles moving the ball on Varina, they just shot themselves in the foot a lot. I think Phoebus front 7 is better than Varina and I’ve seen the springs play against both teams live. Also, it was 28-19 Varina against HSHS
I respect it and agree that Phoebus looked better than Varina against HS. I think a huge part is HS is playing their best ball right now. That’s why we line up.
I think a games between Phoebus and Varina would a low scoring one with both teams probably only scoring through some sort big play, not too many sustainable drives. How Huguenot matches up with Phoebus is really interesting considering the depth Huguenot got on offensive
Phoebus tends to do very well against pass dominant teams
What makes Phoebus special is their ability to put numbers in the box to stop the run, great corners who can play 1v1 on the outside, and pass rushers who pin their ears back dead on destroying a QB. Just tough to break the Phantoms down for more than 1-2 scores. Varina is similar, but have some holes. Huguenot is a bit young, but I really like their team. They may be just young and naive enough not to let the mystic bother them.

speaking of trolls
it must be playoff time
we are invaded by the Eastern Dodo birds.
Phoebus may have the best defense that Salem has ever played in its whole 45+ year existence as a school. Thats really saying something if I’m right. Glad Salem could keep it close. Hard to vote against Phoebus.
The fact that they are beatable makes it that much more impressive. Last few games of every season they have been playing people who could beat them, and they still pull out close wins. Teams that dominant in the regular season often have a hard time winning the close ones, not Phoebus the past 3 seasons.

All three 804 teams can mix it up & run it. Yeah they’ve won a C4 ship but haven’t had to play Varina, Huguenot or Dinwiddie.. Not their fault, they line up and play (and beat) who’s in front of them. That’s no hate, that’s just the facts behind it.
Their games against Powhatan & Monacan make me think they lose this game. Both of those teams are spread teams who run the ball & in both those games they trailed against inferior talent. Now you goto Varina and play against a team with the same scheme but SIGNIFICANTLY better talent who has played a stronger schedule than you, I think in the 4th quarter that will come into play. It means something when a team has been in a war an knows how to squeeze out a win even when they play bad. I said 24-22 Varina this weekend I’m starting to lean 28-16 Varina. I’ve just got to see it to believe it from Huguenot.
Not to mention, Varina’s been playing some of their best football in the past month
I remember last year the sentiment was the same, Varina will easily beat Huguenot and that was not the case… also, same story about the weak schedule from the same posters. This Huguenot team is substantially better than their squad last year. Maybe Varina’s is too, we shall see. I would be stunned if Huguenot only scored 16 points though. The scores of X team against Y team don’t always act as much of a predictor. I could spiral out of control on that topic and show you many games that don’t add up this season when comparing wins against neutral opponents and margin of victories. I’ll admit, it is the only thing we have to go off of though. I think Huguenot’s offense is the most diverse that I have seen this year. Now maybe, Varina’s pass rush is so good they have no time but Varina will not be able to just pin their ears back. Huguenot has two very good tailbacks. I’d say for me, the one thing I wonder about Huguenot is can they consistently stop Varina. I know their defensive numbers have been great but Varina will definitely be the best team they faced all year so far.
They have but we can say the same about Huguenot.
@mbonape1 Huguenot lost by a missed PAT last year, I don’t know where these blowout scores are coming from. I believe Varina was way more talented last year and Huguenot was very young. Huguenot lost to Cosby and got blown out by Manchester. They’ve
decimated all the good teams they played..
You know you and I have been the only ones willing to stand on this "hill" these past three or four years regarding the Falcons and what they would end up being. I don't have a dog in the fight but I am shocked how dismissive people are over what Huguenot has accomplished. Anyways, I have said my piece, I won't make it to this one, any idea if this will be shown anywhere on the net or at least the radio?
All facts bro! I’m going with Huguenot even though I picked Varina to win the ship in the Pick ‘Em.
Not at the V.. I’ll text you updates and you can follow the Varina Athletics page on X. They do a good job of following the game, they update it almost every minute.
