This will be the fifth playoff meeting between these programs since 2014, yet the first time with them both as Class 4 members. They moved down from Class 5 this past off-season. Back in late August, Broad Run won the regular season matchup 28-26, marking their sixth victory over the Huskies in the past seven encounters. A major question looms about the re-match in regards to the health and effectiveness of Broad Run star signal caller Mitch Griffis, a Wake Forest commit.
Tuscarora counters with a very dangerous QB/RB combo with Ethan Gick and Bryce Duke, a sophomore who is quickly ascending into one of the best players in the state at his position. Receiver Jevonn Gilyard can catch the deep ball, while Matei Fitz, the Dulles District Defensive Player of the Year, has already set school records for sacks and tackles for loss.
The Broad Run defense has been stellar all year long, seeing different players step up, whether it’s Kesean Dyson off the edge, Chaz Allison at linebacker, or the likes of Romy Miner and Cam Chambers in the secondary.
Predictions:
Matt Hatfield Says: Tuscarora 28-21
VHSL-Reference.com Says: Broad Run 27-24
Coach Ed Young Says: Broad Run 18-12
