Tuscarora v Varina
- Thread starter EPJr
- Start date
Definitely a bad loss but it was first game of the yr. Most teams get better as the yr goes on. I don't see them winning this game
I’m asking was anyone hurt or something else happened that made this game even close? Looking at their schedule they took care of everyone but the 6-5 team they lost too and had a close call to a 4-7 team. Just trying to get a feel for the team. Although i 100% expect Varina to win easily.
Tuscarora is a solid team. Well coached. They have had success for several yrs. Played LC Byrd in 2014 C5 State Championship game losing 22-19. They lost to Highland Springs in the C5 final 2017. Lost to Lake Taylor in C4 State Championship in 2019. So they have been knocking on the door.
I was surprised that they lost the first game of the yr. They will be ready to play. I have Varina winning but would not be surprised if Tuscarora pulls the upset.
get there early
park so you can get out with ease (you may consider parking at the middle school and walking a little).
It is like most high school parking lots.
get your tickets ASAP.
Decent. My beef with Varina is they charge for “VIP Parking” in the main lot and it’s an extra $10. Still a headache to get out of. I’d park on the visitor’s side (Michael Robinson Way) and park either in the lot behind the visitor’s bleachers, on the street or like EP said by the middle school.
Seeing that VIP parking pissed me off for real. I much rather them do elderly parking instead of another cash grab.
As much as I love Varina, that’s just the way it is there. I agree with you. They have parking in the main lot and behind the gym. Should be free to ADA, veterans and elderly.
I finally saw Varina in person against Dinwiddie. I think their QB is what honestly separates them. He reminds me of Marcus Hagans back in the day for Hampton. Very good passer, super poised, doesn't really take negative plays or sacks, and can just straight up call his own number and run it for a big gain whenever he wants. Not discounting the rest of the team at all, which is abundantly talented. I think the QB's skill set makes them elite as a team. Dinwiddie played hard and is dangerous and did what they do, broke a couple of big plays and scored quick. However, I never felt that Varina was not in control or in any real jeopardy. I have not seen Tusky but I do think Varina has comfortably beaten a few very good football teams along their path. I'll take Varina by two scores. Let's go Blue Devils, bring it home for region B!
