Indian River/Varina

@BoKnowsSports. Why is Varina not playing Wyche at QB? Hansom threw the td.
Good question Navy. I’m not familiar with the young man Hansom. He’s a transfer. Looks like a baller.
Varina's defense is elite, but their offense is stale and predictable. The defense didn't let them down. The offense kept them in a hole and on the field all night. Give Varina credit they play anybody and everybody. They will bounce back. Platooning qb's sure isn't the answer.

I agree, 31 points is major for them but they put their defense in horrible spots minus the big 63 yard TD in the 4th. They run that offense like they’re a C1 roster with 1 or 2 good skill guys. They are probably 4-5 deep (elite playmakers) and they made zero improvements to their schemes.
@BoKnowsSports, you hit a home run. The offensive coordinator baffles me. With all that talent and you would think they could find somebody to tote the mail. Varina's o line is slow, but decent. If you have decent corners and quick linebackers it's easy to shut them down.
Varina still has Bishop McNamara (game probably won’t count points wise), Glen Allen, and Highland Springs. Hell they gotta go to Ashland this year, where they’ve struggled. Varina really couldn’t afford tonight if they want to play at home in November. Gotta think KG runs the table, Dinwiddie is going to be favored in 9 of 10 games, Huguenot will at worst be 8-2 and get a lot of rider points, and EV will probably go 9-1/8-2.. Haven’t even touched Powahtan and I’m hearing Courtland will compete for the Battlefield championship. Will be no worse than 7-3. Very tough region.
Well this sounds a bit concerning. I probably didn't give Indian River enough credit though. Did Varina’s run game have any life? I just don't understand why the OC can't develop an actual scheme.
With 30 coaches, gotta think somebody can run that offense properly.
Good post @BoKnowsSports and spot on. After seeing Manchesters performance I am not high on them. EV is reportedly dropping the Huguenot game, so both teams should be 8-1 or 9-0. Dinwiddie needs to go 9-1 to get home field advantage over an undefeated be Battlefield team. A undefeated Huguenot, especially with only nine games has all contenders playing on the road.
@GoBlue2109, it's just as @BoKnowsSports said. Aside from Huguenot they have the most overall talent in B. No, their running game was awful and Varina turned ball over on downs, turnovers, penalties. They can surely play better and may. I don't understand the madness. You let Linwood walk away, so Wyche can start then Hansom transfers in a you play two qb's? Same as last year. Pick a man and adjust your scheme to fit the player. Throw it up and pray aint and offensive scheme.

I have an issue with the excessive coaches but most of those guys are my Varina brothers through the different eras so I try not to criticize too bad. But man I'm starting to feel like I'm a cowboys fan.
Varina had the game won last night but piss poor playcalling/clock management lost it. I’m no expert or rocket scientist but D1 Carter is probably 2x the athlete Ant Fisher was so why aren’t they putting the ball in his hands to run the ball to win these games like they did the year Fisher led them to the state championship? Wyche is a top 3 QB in the region, but he’s 5’8, maybe 155. Carter is 6’2, 185 with 4.4 speed. Gotta put him behind that big line and let him make a play and run out the clock. It ain’t hard at all.
I don’t know much about Bishop McNamara but what are your thoughts on that game with Varina this week?
Those WCAC teams are tough man. St. John’s, Gonzaga, DeMatha, Good Counsel. BM isn’t the program that those teams are, but there’s still a pretty high level of talent there. I see that they’ve played a lot of DC public schools outside of their WCAC schedule so Varina is a huge schedule upgrade. Varina could very well be 0-2 going to a huge game with Herm if they don’t clean it up. From what I’ve seen, I like Herm in that matchup and you won’t find a bigger Varina homer than me.
Yep you are correct 2 minutes and 35 seconds left in the game and they lose the ball on a fumble. Then at the end of the game varina drives the ball all the way down to the one yard line 3rd and one and was called for illegal procedure which moved the ball back to the six yard line.Varina should have won this game easily. I just don't understand with all the talent that Varina has the offensive coordinated is not using the talent to its potential. Stop playing so conservative
100%. Varina had to have that game last night. Herm in two weeks, Glen Allen, gotta go to Ashland and play an underrated PH team (they look really good with Roose at QB), and then hosting the Springers, who look like a machine, to end the season.
