Elmore County Player of the Week: Kaleb Varner's explosive plays lead Edgewood to road win

File / The Herald

Edgewood wide reciever Kaleb Varner (1) will look to take advantage of the passing attack’s limited opportunities during this week’s game against Escambia.

Nothing was going to hold back Kaleb Varner from playing in Edgewood’s season opener at Northside last week.

The Wildcat receiver appeared to break his finger just a week before the game but after practicing all week, he got to the game ready to contribute and he scored three touchdowns in Edgewood’s 35-8 victory. Varner is the Elmore County Player of the Week.
