Basketball Game Preview: Varina Blue Devils vs. Thomas Jefferson Vikings + How To Watch

Varina is on a six-game streak of home losses dating back to last season, and Thomas Jefferson an eight-game streak of away losses also dating back to last season. However, someone's due for a change in luck on Wednesday. The Varina Blue Devils will be playing at home against the Thomas Jefferson Vikings at 7:30 p.m. Given that the two teams suffered a loss in their last games, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this game.

On Thursday, Varina came up short against Freeman and fell 39-28.

Despite the loss, Varina saw an underclassman step up: freshman Charlese Veney dropped a double-double with ten points and 19 rebounds. Kaliyah Straughter was another key player, putting up a point along with ten boards and four blocks.

Thomas Jefferson kicked off their season on the road last Monday and hit a couple of potholes. They took a blow against Prince George, falling 83-2. The Vikings were in a tough position after the first half, with the score already sitting at 63-2.

Everything came up roses for Varina against Thomas Jefferson in their previous meeting back in January, as the squad secured a 42-13 win. Will the Blue Devils repeat their success, or do the Vikings have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
