If Varina Loses...

@BoKnowsSports is the ugliness a result of Varina's predictability on offense or Hermitage defense. This Varina team has the athletes to be successful, but appear to be easily defended. Just curious on your take.
Varina is just horribly coached. Their offense is elementary but they have some really nice looking backs. Herm’s D is stout and Varina only scored on a broken play and a very nice looking deep TD throw. Varina’s D is fast and physical. Herm is so damn unorthodox on offense. They’ve had some opportunities but they’ve gotten in their own way. Varina has done an excellent job of taking Andre Clarke out of the game. He hasn’t done anything tonight as of 8:46 left in the game.

Most remarkable to me is the fact that Highland Springs didn't record its first pass attempt until 1:58 to go in the second quarter when it fell incomplete.

Maury's Kendall Daniels blocks the punt on 4th down, so the Commodores are in business with 1:00 exactly to go in the first half, at the Highland Springs 11 with no time-outs. But trust me, the time-outs are a non-issue.

We saw QB Au'Tori Newkirk is human as he made a potentially wrong read, not giving it to LeBron Bond in the flat. However, I can't even say it was the wrong read because Kendall Daniels got open in the corner of the end zone and they just didn't connect.

Commodores Coach Dyrri McCain probably will be bothered at the break unless they score here because they've gotten a couple of penalties to back them up further, to the Springers 21-yard line with 28 seconds to go.

Army commit Nelson Layne is having some moments with his legs tonight, but shortly after his 15-yard scramble moves the sticks on 3rd & 7, the Maury defense rises up to make another play. It's Leslie Hines with the sack and it's now 2nd & 22 from their own 15 for the Springers with 1:17 to go in the half.

Maury burns another time-out after LB Isaiah 'Ike' Simmons bites down on the run and limits Daeron Ferguson to a minimal gain.

The Commodores want to get the ball back and score again, which they have a serious chance to do with 1:12 till the break and leading this one 21-0. It has been a dominant showing tonight from the reigning Class 5 State Champs on both sides of the ball.

Maury is on the move again after Highland Springs commits its second turnover of the night, this one on a fumble inside the Maury 30. Looks like LB Dylan Goad came away with the pigskin.

The Commodores waste no time going back to the air as they hit LeBron Bond for a 25-yard pass over the middle, plus the Springers get called for a 15-yard personal foul on the play to put them even closer to paydirt.

After a couple of penalties, Maury leaves the offense out there on the field on 4th & 7 from the Springers 9 with three minutes to go in the first half. Au'Tori Newkirk buys time in the pocket, steps up to avoid the rush and completes to LeBron Bond, but he's out of bounds in the back of the end zone.

So the Springers take over at their own 9 with 2:48 to go in the first half.

In some ways, you'd ordinarily be surprised that Dyrri McCain didn't try the fild goal to make the margin a 24-point lead. However, the Commodores are that confident in their offense being able to convert in that situation and get 6 points. Also, as someone in the pressbox said, they're wanting to make a statement tonight.
