Well I hope they win it all, because if they don't, I can only imagine the reasoning behind why they didn't. Good luck to Phoebus and the rest of the teams in the playoffs. It shall be interesting.
What are the intriguing matchups in round 1
- Thread starter mvwarrior
- Start date
Please explain how a "decent" team earns the #1 seed in their pod. Good QB, decent not great RB, relies on their qb and if you stop him you stop Hopewell. Do you have any facts to back up these claims?
When they beat Matoaca, the QB was the 4th leading rusher that game. The trio of decent not great RB went for over 400 yards just between them. And they only threw for 60-70 yards that game.
When Thomas Dale put 8 in the box and tried to stop the run, the QB and average receivers lit them up for 3 1st half TD's, opening up the running game in the 2nd half.
Then there is this:
(4-6) Tabb - #8 Seed 3A East Pod 25/27 Won 49-20
Powhatan – Missed 4A playoffs Won 37-14
(7-3) Hanover - #2 Seed 4A East Pod 19/20 Lost 19-24
(7-3) Dinwiddie - #6 Seed 4A Pod 19/20 Lost 13-41
(2-8) Petersburg - #8 Seed 3A East Pod 26/28 Won 47-8
(5-5) Meadowbrook - #8 Seed 5A South Pod 9/10 Won 28-22
(4-6) Colonial Heights - #5 Seed 3A East Pod 25/27 Won 47-14
(7-3) Matoaca - #6 Seed 5A South Pod 9/10 Won 37-0
(6-4) Thomas Dale - #3 Seed 6A South Pod 3/4 Won 37-29
Prince George – Missed 5A playoffs: Won 39-14
Total Points Scored: 353
Total Points Allowed: 186
Average Score Line Season: 35.3 – 18.6
Average Score Line 8 Wins: 40.1 – 15.1
Average Score Line 6 Game Win Streak: 39.1 – 14.5
The 2 losses Hopewell suffered
1) The loss to Hanover wasn’t decided until Hopewell threw an interception in the last seconds of the 4th quarter.
2) The loss to Dinwiddie was just that – a loss. Dinwiddie had a great game plan, executed the plan, and caught Hopewell looking. That was Hopewell’s wakeup call so a big thank you to Dinwiddie for lighting the fire. Dinwiddie was the better prepared team that night and deserved that win.
Does this mean Hopewell will win the state championship...NO. The team that takes care of business 5 weeks in a row will win the state championship. Did Hopewell earn their #1 seed...I think the stats speak for themselves...
hopewell beats a good tabb team 49-20,,,and james monroe barely survives on last cple plays to squeak by york h.s,,,i would have hopewell ranked over jm and have poquoson ranked if jm is gonna be ranked at all...this bias of west over east will be settled by phoebus winning the next 10 state titles in a row...go phs

that was posted on sept 14........so, what bandwagon fans are you referring to?.........dont get mad,,,,just understand your fate....or get a lottery ticket.........either way seeing is believing and i trust you will believe with time
I'm all about letting these young men going and out doing their thing. It's the playoffs and anything can happen. Hidden Valley was the #1 seed last year, had a few big key injuries, and got put out by #16 seed Waynesboro. Anything Can happen and will happen. That's why I love high school football.
Im not sure why Phoebus is a different animal? What have they really proved this year. They have played 3 teams with winning records,and lost to one of those. Yes, im sure they are good, but so are a lot of other 3A teams. Phoebus will not even be tested until the semis, because JM and Hopewell are in the other bracket. Im not going to be crazy like the others and crown MV the champions, but they have a good shot, but so do several other teams in the west and a few in the east. I don't think any playoff team 1 seed or 16 seed go into a game thinking they cant win it, you still have to play the game, and a lot can happen in a game. Its 5 games left if you are lucky and good. LOL! Good luck to all the teams.
I did not say they don't deserve a 1 seed. As I said there pod is very weak. Hanover controlled that entire game at Hopewell. Game was not as close as the score was. Hopewell did play a good game against Matoaca and turnovers and miscues killed Dale. Tabb, Petersburg, Colonial Heights, Prince Goerge, Powhatan "really" . As I said IMO James Monroe will stop Hopewell in 3 round.
starting a new thread....this one is boring......redundant........and i have no interest in wasting anymore time with some who are in denial........sheesh, whats next....GO BRENTSVILLE!...STATE CHAMPS!.......I DONT know what makes me laugh more the circus in missouri or the idea there is football team in 3a other than phoebus.......boom "drops the mic"
I have no dog in the 3A fight but if Phoebus doesn't do as you say they will, I hope you stick around the boards and take your lumps like a man and don't go into hiding. If your opinion holds true, I'll be the first to congratulate. Don't count them chickens too soon this year....or the next 10 years for that matter.
If you think it's going to be a cakewalk, you are mistaken. Enjoy the blowouts in rounds 1-3. State semi's you'll get a real football team and get your first taste of Western VA football. For all I know, they may run through 3A without a hiccup but I wouldn't bet on it.
I'm not trying to take anything away from your boys, I know they have talent and can play but as the old saying goes...I can show you better than I can tell you. Let the boys play do all the talking rather than hype them on the boards.
the thread was intriguing matchups...thus, provoking conversation without the ability to 'show'...rather hypocritical to come on to this board and tell people to shut up and let the boys such and such when you are on here too...1817posts and counting......so spare me the rhetoric.....back to the point..the west champ will blowout their first rounds as well so im not sure what that point was about, nevertheless, i will expect your congratulations and apology to the east for thinking the west has the only 'flavor' in 3a football.......boys from phoebus learn to eat blue crabs with old bay at birth dont get me started on the mud bugs
Nobody told you to shut up. Nobody told you not to converse. I suggested you get off the hype train. Tell me more about your boys, you haven't given stats, players names who we should watch, nothing but the hype train from you thus far. You should learn to read better. When did I say the only flavor in 3A is in the West?
Expecting my apology if Phoebus wins? here it is...

so sensitive,,,relax bud,,,its just a game played by lil high school boys....dont worry about it 
Hopewell, James Monroe, Western Albemarle, Monticello, a healthy Brookville, and Magna Vista are all fully capable of beating Phoebus. It's not wise to be so confident as a Phoebus fan to say they'll run through 3A if you haven't seen those teams.
I am not as down on Hopewell as you are, but I think they will go out in game two, maybe squeaking by to get to game three. I agree, they live and die with QB Hill. He has taken a beating this season. Good defenses targeted him and he paid the price. He is tough, no question, but he is human. It's like Cheatham at Hanover. The lifeblood of the team. Both have to get 20, 25, 30 carries for their offenses to be successful. Can Hill do this at this point in the season, five more games? Against ever better defenses? I guess we will see!
Hopewell is a very good team. I saw them three times. Yes, Hanover was a little too physical even without Cheatham. Dinwiddie pressured Hill from the first play and he seemed rattled.
They are a bit small, but they swarm the ball and have good speed. Their defensive backs struggled against Dinwiddie, but they defended everyone else well. The Monroe kid has 10 or 11 interceptions. That ain't shabby.
On offense Hill has some speed and height to throw to (Monroe, Figuero, and Harrison) and is fairly accurate. His backup, Rockwell is actually more accurate, but is not as dynamic. Walker is a very good back and 255 pound Cooper is a load in short yardage.
My biggest concern is their depth. Almost all of their stars play both ways. Hill is the catalyst, but can be reckless at times. The key to slowing him down is a ton of pressure with inside containment.
Dinwiddie played Hopewell and James Monroe. Both have equitable speed; however, Hopewell has a tad more weapons on the edge. Simply said, JM's defense struggled against the pass which could cause them problems.
If these two teams meet it could be a high scoring affair. I give Hopewell the edge as they have solidly handled three higher classification playoff teams in the last four weeks.
