Varina defeats Highland Springs 21-3 in East End rivalry game
Table of Contents
Varina quarterback Kaleb Wyche accounted for all three of his team's touchdowns and the Blue Devils held 5th-ranked Highland Springs to just 112 yards of offense in their 21-3 win. It was the first time the Blue Devils, ranked 2nd in this week's Coaches Poll, has won two straight over the Springers in the series since 2006.
"Our defense got a lot of returners, lot of young guys running around, flying around, just doing their job," stated Varina Head Coach Marcus Lewis. "I feel we got the best D-Line up in the state, to be honest with you."
After a scoreless first quarter, Varina struck first behind Wyche's 1st touchdown of the night, a 24-yard strike to Sair Rex that capped an 11-play drive that took nearly five minutes off the clock.
The Blue Devils would add to their seven-point lead when Wyche scored his 2nd touchdown of the half when he galloped down the Varina sideline for a 55-yard touchdown that increased their lead to 14-0. It came after the Springers missed a field goal that would have made it a 7-3 game.
