High school football notes
A healthier Trey Johnson ran his way into the Varina football record book last week against Atlee. Johnson, a 5-10, 175-pounder who led the Central Region in rushing last year as a junior, logged 330 yards on 19 carries in the Blue Devils’ 35-12 victory. The previous mark was 272 by Lamont Abrams in the Central Region, Division 6 championship game in 1999.

No.5 Varina cruises to 37-10 win
There would be no photo finish this time. No heart-stopping final play. No overtime excitement. No drama. After four games decided by a total of 10 points, the Varina Blue Devils finally had a breather, as much of a breather, anyway, as they could have when their Capital District visitors, the Hanover Hawks, came at them with a fast-paced no-huddle offense and a fervent desire to get a signature win for their 7-year-old program.
