@BoKnowsSports, I wasn't necessarily asking about the talent I have seen Varina play. Was a bit more curious about their actual height and weight to see how they physically matched up with #1 and #4.My apologies Navy, forgot to answer you. I’m pulling a @HooSprings number when I say, everybody but 1 player in the Varina secondary has multiple D1 offers. That’ll likely change as Myles Anderson is probably Varina’s most consistent corner and will get a lot of love this summer. He’s been lockdown.
I also was wondering if you thought Varina would play their base defense or do something different. When Highland Springs and Freedom bit the Blue Devils it was on post, stick routes and quick possession passes. This is where I see the problem. If you lay off the big boys it's hard to tackle them and if you press them they will throw it up and out jump you. #1 runs the post better than most high school players I have seen. He gets the smaller db's on his hip and simply boxes them out.
By your description it sounds like Varina has the defensive backs to make things interesting, but if the coaching staff lets their egos take over and tries to play man it ain't going to be pretty. If Varina can pressure the quarterback they will produce some turnovers. Problem is the KG staff knows Varina's tendencies very well. Dang this is going to be one heck of a battle.
On the flip side I think the Varina offense can hit some big plays, but they cannot just rely on the home run ball. They must establish some sort of running game. If I'm KG I put the big boys on the outside and play nickel. If Varina proves they can run adapt. If not it's 50/50 balls all night.
