That’s been my whole point
you give Varina that schedule and they’re undefeated and HS has at least two 80 point wins. Phoebus has played 1 decent team in Smith and the results were the same thing as what Varina did against a mirror image Indian River team. You give Varina and HS King George’s schedule and it’s probably uglier.
I wish we played those schedulesThat’s been my whole point
. Next year’s schedule might be tougher than this years but we’ll be better equipped because we being back 16 startersI think it's just bad memories but Salem has one of the two best OL/DL in their region this year along with JF. Glass graduated 2 All-State guys from their DL last year so they're not as good this year. I think Salem makes it out of the region and to the championship game this year.
Haha are you directing this at me? I own it if so Haha.Exactly. Not directing this at @BleedingNavy but I scratch my head at how people can drool over Phoebus playing pop warner teams in front of 30 spectators, Salem beating horrendous Hidden Valley and Cave Spring teams by 40 and say Varina isn’t a factorbut there’s not many teams in VA that can consistently score on that Varina defense.
I don't get caught up in the quality of teams opponents a whole lot for the simple fact that teams can't control how good or bad other teams are. What I look at is how the so called good teams execute week in and week out, regardless of their opponent. The best teams in the state execute consistently regardless of their opponent. It may not always be the flashiest but they usually don't turn the ball over themselves, they don't have a lot of penalties, they have good special teams, and they can create turnovers. I don't have anything against Varina or any other team. I just think Salem and Phoebus fits this description the best with KG and Dinwiddie close.nope, I wasn’tHaha are you directing this at me? I own it if so Haha.
I would’ve just dm’ed you on twitter or something lol..Nah bro, yall played a top heavy schedule plus Dale, Mataoca and Hopewell. IMO, it’s the most complete schedule of all of the contenders in C4.I wish we played those schedules
If Phoebus gets those refs from last week your statement about penalties won’t be trueHaha are you directing this at me? I own it if so Haha.
. That crew is horrendous. 2016 Salem had 1 penalty a that was on a false start 
. Mags was in his bag that entire 1st half. We adjusted but it was too late. Those 2 unscripted plays on 4th down in the 4th quarter Mags could’ve just took my heart out my chest himself 
The Maury game let me know when Dinwiddie is rolling they are a little better than the other C4 teams. Outside of a few bad turnovers Dinwiddie showed if they can score on that defense they will score on anyone. And while the defense isn't "lockdown" this year they still have the athletes to match the other top teams.I wish we played those schedules
Who are they losing next year?I wish we played those schedules
Mannnnnnn that makes this year feel like you playing with house money. Potential special run coming up for this squad.
Phoebus QB is not a freshman…I had to stop reading there. Y’all don’t know much about Phoebus I see.
Mannn I just read this
Shoutout Daniel Hankins-SanfordI’m sorry,but their BEST qb is the freshman. The other one stinks. He makes the offense look JV ish! Their offense is just as bad as the Varina offense. The defense will only go so far before you HAVE to score on offense,and a good D like Varina or Salem is gonna lock that offense down easily.
2021:
The eye don’t lie! I was at the 2021 game. HSHS and Varina BOTH played to stay healthy for the playoffs,and if not for poor officiating at SB,they both would have won the state.
Like opponents in THIS YEAR'S games. We're talking about this year, not years past. If I were going to do that I'd start with HS's 5 state titles in the past 8 years! You're grasping at straws, dude! LOL.
For me Varina looks about the same every year. I get the eye test, but they’ve looked semi sloppy every year but 2019.
Can’t compare scores. Herm/Varina is always an ugly game. It’s either one sided or very close with 90 penalties. Facts!
We have a good JV game over on Messer Rd. tonight!! HS 8-0 vs Varina 8-0. This is a game that might give a little view of the future of these 2 rivals!
I agree. I was at the game and then I watch it again on the internet. I'm a Varina fan and some of those offensive lineman were being knocked around like ragdolls I used to think it was the quarterback. Hopefully they'll get it together by Saturday
HS plays a very disciplined brand of football and when Kane was at Herm, they did too. That’s been one of the better games in the 804 until the past 5 years.
not to even mention the QB for HS is a Herm kid but Go Route 5!IDK about that. 2021 Phoebus won the state championship game 22-14. They only scored 1 TD on offense that game. The other two came from defense. It's not common but it can be done.
Martin has been at HSHS since he was a Freshman.HS plays a very disciplined brand of football and when Kane was at Herm, they did too. That’s been one of the better games in the 804 until the past 5 years.
Difference now is Herm is on its way back to being a doormat and won’t be a factor. They also lost their 2 best interior lineman (both D1 prospects) and an all region linebacker to Highland Springs
Martin played at Brookland Middle though and grew up playing with the current Herm kids. I know the whole story about how he ended up at HS cause I was there (no HS didn’t recruit him). I was just poking fun at you. I’d go to HS too over playing for an unstable program so kudos to those kids’ parents.
That’s insane! Varina’s JV team is loaded. Congrats to the young Springers.
They tried their darndest to get him to Trinity,but ended up at HSHS
It was 32-12 to start the 4th and HSHS put in backups. The HSHS JV qb is the son of former Henrico high state finalist WR,Hansom. He played with Princell Brockenborough when the lost in the 99 state finals. He’s got an absolute cannon to be only a Freshman. The future is bright for both teams. Quite impressed with Varina but HS was a little better tonight.
Yeah I knew he’d end up at HS though. He wouldn’t have started for Herm until his junior year. Bedwell loved the young man he had at QB at the time as he was big time. I don’t think it was a program changing loss but definitely wish he would’ve went to GA
Lol. That is in the eye of the beholder. I have seen Cole and Allen twice. That is a tough call, but I have to trust Georgia. They don't miss much. Have to admit #7 is a ball hawk and has the tools to play at the next level. Spartans fans would know best, so Allen must be having a good year. I know he has a few Mid Major offers do you think things will pick up? Speed and possibly being a tweener (weight) for a power 5 linebacker is his only possible deficits. Looks like he could comfortably add some bulk though. Tough dang kid!
@VolNation85, I feel pretty confident @1MoreHokie and many Salem fans believe Allen is the better of the two.
HS's jv team is LOADED too! Freshman QB (qb of the future) is impressive! They are tough in every position. We even have a good kicker on JV!!!
