This crew is famous for flag fest. @Phoebus Fan and I have been posting about for two weeks. The white hat Jim Mayhew is a good official, but his crew will not let the kids play.
I do recall you two talking about this recently. I didn't know it was gonna be this bad though. Any momentum or flow is nixed by a damn flag. Hopefully the second half will have more pace and excitement.

Darn, looks like a flag fest here too. Are the officials at the Phoebus game pulling double duty today?

A lot of people haven’t even gotten in yet I saw a picture of the line. Also 2 undisciplined plays from Phoebus so far
Fortunately I didn't have to wait too long. Phoebus defense will need to stand up for 3rd & 4th qtr. Those undisciplined plays can be killers.

This game is so painful to watch with all the stoppages. I see now what some have been talking about with regard to the officials.
What do you mean by painful? So painful to watch that I left with a hamstring injury? Yes. It was that painful. I also got hit in the head by one of the yellow flags

Welp....that's that on that. The game didn't live up to the hype (to me) really due to the number of flags. Definitely two top notch swarming defenses. Phoebus is just a bit more polished...as expected. It's unfortunate that Warwick has to go through (likely) Maury or Green Run. Phoebus has some obstacles in front of them too.

Are you talking about the Varina team that struggled against the now 6-3 Indian River Braves or the Varina team that inched by (leaving some nose skin behind) the now 5-4 Hermitage Panthers or is there another Varina team?
Neither one will score in Phoebus.

757 football has 4 good teams compared to 8+ in the 804. We’ll let yall have your little moment of glory.

Bo, we go back a couple of years, so you can tell me...what did the 757 do to you? You bring up the 757 more than 757 guys. 😀
It’s all love big bro 😂 I moved to the 804 in 2014. 10 years, it’s home now! Looking forward to these next few weeks and basketball season.

I thought someone took your girl 😀 Love the passion you bring and hope to catch up during the playoffs. I left the 757 for college and only get back a couple times a year. I've been in the DMV for over two decades and just in the past few years have I accepted that the DMV is my home.

I pray that staff doesn’t call any playoff games. VHSL legit needs to send refs from other region for the playoffs. Did you see the touchdown Phoebus clearly caught first drive that was ruled incomplete? It was ridiculous

I saw the play but the video was rather bad sir. We tried to tell them. The white hat has been around a long time and is a well respected official, but his crew my Lord.

Warwick won’t make it to Maury, Warwick better game plan for Kings Fork first.

I agree with your main point even though I haven't seen the crew you are referring to. I will say that I've been to at least one game a week on average this season, seen a bunch of crews, and maybe one could be deemed playoff-assignment worthy.

Unfortunately, home teams somehow still get their home associations up to and including their state semifinal rounds. This must change.

Then again, the VHSL lacks leadership by allowing the regions to have some sort of autonomy in determining their state round representatives, so I'm sure there will be zero movement on home teams using different associations around the state to officiate their regional playoff games.
