NORFOLK, VA (WTKR)- For the second consecutive Friday, the weather wreaked havoc on the area high school football schedule. Some games were delayed, others postponed, but our Game of the Week pressed on.
Maury and Varina met in a battle of reigning state champions. The contest went down to the wire, with the Blue Devils claiming the victory, 35-34, in overtime. A lightning delay halted the game with 4:51 remaining in the second quarter, but the two teams returned to the field a little after 9:30 p.m. and finished the thriller. Maury has now lost back-to-back games by a combined two points.
Other games, such as Lake Taylor and Hampton, kicked off but were postponed.
