Oscar Smith vs Varina
- Thread starter Lorkie12
- Start date
Multiple sources have confirmed to me that it is factual.
Initial thought is as good as Varina is and will be... tough order to go back-to-back weeks to the 757 and hope to come out with one let alone two wins.
BREAKING: The schedule just got even tougher.
Varina has officially added its THIRD reigning state champion to the 2026 schedule.
After facing Maury, the Blue Devils will now travel to Chesapeake to take on Oscar Smith on September 11—meaning they’ll go back-to-back weeks against two Hampton Roads state champions.
This isn’t just another non-district game.
This has all the makings of one of the biggest regular-season matchups in the state and one fans across Virginia won’t want to miss.
Who takes it?

Varina has nothing to lose. Even if they lose the game, they will still get massive points for even playing them.

I do believe Smith has more to lose as they have been a dynasty for over 2 decades and more established powerhouse than Varina. With that said, about the matchup itself for this year, it does seem as though Varina may have a tad more talent than Smith but Lonnie is a more pure Qb than Wyche IMO. Although he has accuracy issues. However Wyche may have more talent surrounding him and if they don’t turn the ball over I’ll say Varina by a slight margin.
Varina also plays Grimsley from NC who has won multiple titles in a row in North Carolina. Varina gave them a very close game last year down in North Carolina. I saw film of that game and was very impressed by the Varina QB. Does he return this year or did he graduate?
