Gonna be the most stacked in the state regardless of classification and really there are 4-5 teams that could win the region in 2020. My top 5 right now:
1. Highland Springs. They will be loaded once again and will win A LOT of games in 2020 with superior coaching and talent.
2. Deep Run. Will have arguably the best player in the 5A in Bo Kite and could run the table barring a slip up to Glen Allen or Herm. They return A LOT.
3. Manchester. Those guys have a program out on Bailey Bridge Rd. Lost Garcia and a few others, but they return Shelton who is gonna be real good and a couple of other studs. Will be no worst than 8-2.
4. Varina. Lost a lot but they have some studs on Messer Rd. Expect some transfers in, so they could be higher. Bobby Dunn should have another big year at QB.
5. Herm. Dave Bedwell returns to the sidelines and they return 19 starters, mostly 3 year starters, off a team that beat Dale and hung in tough the first half with Maury and Varina. Only reason I don’t have them higher is they were 1-9 and 4-6 the past two seasons and will need to prove themselves. I see that they have Huguenot, Henrico, Dale, and Varina before taking on Deep Run, Freeman, and Glen Allen. We’ll know very soon on how good the Panthers are.
Glen Allen, Prince George and Freeman will all be good too but I think any of those first 5 can win this region.
