Who has the better football team? Is it Phoebus or Oscar Smith? You can debate this all you want, but the sad reality is, we’ll never know. The only way to get a true answer to that age old question is for those two teams to play each other, and that’s not gonna happen.

Thanks to breaking up schools in divisions, the two best teams in Hampton Roads rarely play each other. So as it stands, Phoebus is the best Division 5 team in Hampton Roads. Oscar Smith is king of Division 6.

But wouldn’t be great if after the season these two teams squared off and decided who was the real king of high school football in Hampton Roads? You could rent Dick Price Stadium at Norfolk State, hype the game and sell it out as the High School Super Bowl. Pundits would say that adding one more game to the grueling schedule would be too much for these kids to handle. Hogwash! These seniors would love to play one last football game in front of thousands of local fans.

There is so much debate over college football and how they crown a champion. The BCS has it’s flaws. Some say adding one more game to the college schedule is the answer. How about doing the same here in Hampton Roads for high school football?

Sure I know having one extra game to decide the true Eastern Region Champion will never happen and that means we will never know who the better team is between Phoebus and Oscar Smith. But I guess we don’t need to have an extra game, because everybody knows that the Phantoms would crush the Tigers!
