Brookville DB on FFE says they have best DB's in state

I think LT has a claim to the best secondary in the state with 3 D1 guys in the backfield. I realize they are 4a, but if we are talking state overall then they would have to be at or near the top of the list.
Wayne is back this year and committed to Ohio State he has 3 INT's this year and 3 INT's returned for TD. He's been all everything since his sophomore year and I doubt that it will change this year. The other CB JT Wahee leads Lake Taylor in INT's and has multiple D1 offers, FS Keyvone Bruton leads the secondary in tackles as he is 6'2 205 and likes to play in the box is going to Temple, and SS Dazmine Palmer is going to college to play RB as he has some D1 offers and rushed for 309 on Thursday.
Key to DBs is D line. If they can get into backfield, they make DBs look good.
That is a key, especially when teams are forced into passing situations they are not accustomed to. It also allows defenses to blitz and add even more pressure. A lot of ducks go up there under those circumstances. But the offense is also important. If they can get a nice lead on a run oriented team (which is most VA teams), they also force them into passing mode which, in most cases, they are just not very good at.
As for Brookville, there's a long way to go in this season and making the claim of best DB's in the 3A State is presumptuous and premature. We'll see what happens come playoff time.
At the end of the day he is a high school kid who made a remark supporting his team. Does he think they are the best sure, but every team has kids who think that. You should have confidence in yourself and your team.
I will say this... And you can make it whatever you desire... This is the best DB group Brookville has had in 10 years. Primarily, because it has been a position they have struggled with for some time. They are an aggressive secondary... Taking chances on INTs instead of coverage.... Standing up and stripping balls out... They hit hard and have the exact same attitude to match it... It has been paying off for them. But I believe that it is because they have not lined up against a team with a few marquee playmakers on their offense. A team that gets the ball to the playmakers, and expects them to do something with it after the catch. They have yet to see a team with a couple of super real deal players. I am definitely not shocked to hear the overwhelming comments of being that good, but that is a bit far fetched. I am certain I could find 10 teams in the state with a better secondary, in my opinion...
I'd like to see Bees win the D3 state championship, but I am not sure they have the one stud player to get them there.
Don't take anything from Brookville. They did play WA and Rustburg. Both pass the ball and the Bees are their only defeats of the year. They're right up there as one of the top 3A teams in VA. The defense is very good but they did give up points in those two games and Rustburg hung right with them until they ran out of gas in the 2nd half. The playoffs will tell all and the Bees still have to play Jefferson Forest, who will likely shred them.
shread, heck Landis better stop giving up so many points on defense, I saw what salem did in the game,they tend to out score u..do you realize heritage picked them apart and turned the ball over in the redzone,atleast 3-4 times ..u can't be in a shot out every week and expect to win which we all saw last year when navy came off and they lose,defense wins championships we all know,but they will have there hands full covering the bee's, salem and magna Vista will tell you that,salem ran the trap all over jf, there not that good u are surpose to beat the teams they play,am thinking they both go into that game 9-0 for the clash, will be a good game.. well I guess teams like kicking the ball to navy and losing the special teams battle, ph had jf beat but they kicked to him and that was the back breaker..
