Pound-VS-Haysi Scrimmage

**SWVA-Football** · August 19th, 2006, 11:47 AM

Who else is going to see this one just to get a taste of some football before the weekend goes away?

It begins at 7 PM and the Wildcats will be playing Haysi AT Pound.

I'll probably come just to see what the Wildcats look like this year, although from what I've read on here, they're not looking all that hot.

I didn't even know about this scrimmage until I checked the Coalfield website last night. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Is the game(scrimmage) still on?? It's raining cats and dogs here in Wise.

Is this a scrimmage or a benefit game?

38-14 Haysi.

I can't comment much, got there at halftime. Haysi started playing their subs in the 3rd quarter, so I didn't get to see a lot of their first team. They must have another good team. The QB looked good and they have a heck of a tight end.

Pound has good skill people, their line will be the key as to how much success they have this season. They only had 29 dressed so depth might be a concern for them. They'll be a solid team if their skill people can stay healthy, but all them were playing both ways.

Didn't bring my camera because I was about to take mine to the big jamboree at Bullitt Park but learned my lesson when it started pouring the rain.. thank God I didn't take it with me.

Today I went to pass at Bullitt Park and just as me and my brother were passing on the basketball court outside of the restrooms (just to be passing in the park), a huge lightning bolt struck the field at around the 15-20 yard line on the side of the field closest to us, then a HUGE boom of thunder shook the entire place. Immediately afterwards we took off towards the vehicle to make a getaway! That was scary as heck so because of that alone, I didn't take my camera.. it poured the rain afterwards so I didn't trust it for the rest of the evening.

ANYWAYS sorry to go off track.. now about the scrimmage:

Pound looked decent at times, but really sloppy at others. Their running game was OK with #7 doing most of the running from what I saw, but their passing game seemed more hit-and-miss than anything. Their defense was probably their best aspect, because there were a few occassions in which they did good at holding Haysi back and forcing a 4-and-out.

Haysi was a bit better on both Offense and Defense. Their running game seemed to be the strongest as well, with a hit-and-miss passing game. Their defense did really good at pass protection and also stopping Pound from getting too much yardage when running.

Overall both teams didn't look too bad, but Pound could use some improvement, as Haysi really layed it to them, especially in the second half of play.

Thank for the update.

I really thought Haysi would be more of a passing team given the chatter in the off season there TE should be a heck of a ball player though

Surprised there has not been more regarding this game on the board
