Varina should be an interesting game for HS. They have talent, but not across the board like the Springers. It's probably more of a rivalry game on the Varina side and I expect them to come into the game looking to pull off the upset. Highland Springs has so many weapons, experience, and confidence that it will take some bounces in the Blue Devils' favor to get it done. The extra factor for the Springers is Coach Johnson. That guy is intense when they are trouncing people.
As for Atlee - Henrico, I wouldn't know which team to bet on this week. After that game against Herm, I would have said Henrico all the way. I noticed Danny didn't mention Jahad Carter in his write up. That kid is a good player on offense, defense, and special teams and Atlee would have to account for him if he is on the field. Tyler Warren has good size and runs like a fullback at times so if Jalon Jones is healthy we could see a lot of QB rushing yards in this game. Without Jahad Carter I would give the edge to Atlee as the Abel brothers and Tucker Bratton slightly outweigh Eric McDaniels value in my opinion. If Coach Glasco can get Henrico refocused and get them to just play ball this game could go either way. If not Atlee easily gives them their 2nd loss.
