How did folks look tonight? The JJK scrimmage was as expected with the TRIBE having no trouble with Castlewood and Northwood. 5 TD passes from Bently to 3 receivers,and some long TD runs by 2 backs along with 2 pick 6's on pass defense. If we were keeping score,it was 42-0 over Cwood and something like 28-0 over NW. We'll get a better look next Friday as the competition stiffens.

Tks ID Sad that no one else has chimed in with any other scrimages
Here is my CW vs Grundy thoughts
Starters and primary subs played 3 10 play series with the younger kids playing a coupple of series after that followed by each team going back to there starters for 2 more series each useing the chains
The 1st series CW scored 2 times and had over 200 yards of Offence and Held Grundy into negative yardage after that point Grundy did start moveing the ball a bit better but was only able to get the ball in once CW continued to look good on Offence and was more balanced in the passing game than I expected in the early going I think it was 5 to 1 for those who keep score in scrimages LOL
The younger kids were differant story with Grundy marching up and down the field CW did move the ball but was not able to get it in the end zone
My overall thoughts are
#1. Clintwood has a HUGE line (Biggist I have ever seen here) this group will be much stronger than last years unit that being said I did not think that they pulled as well so the bootlegs and counters that are a mainstay at CW could suffer a bit
#2. They have a NICE group of LBs That run well find the ball and bring a load on the tackle
#3. D-Line looks a bit undersized but look to be built more on speed and it did not hurt them in the scrimmage however i do wonder how they will hold up to a team that runs power FB at them
#4. DBs looked OK and got alot of coverage work in came up with one INT and a few more breakups and did a good job of tackling
#5. RB looks solid with Cwood having the RB by commity thing going again this season Powers looked stronger than last season and Meade #11 looked quicker and the plays that Meade #5 was shifted to RB there was more speed at the position than any time in recent memory
#6. QB play was better than expected Meade looked good(Ran for a TD and passed for 2 more) Daily Looked shakey but not bad I think more reps will lead to a improvement on that side
#7 FB Looked great with Dottson there if he can stay healthy he may be the best back in the LPD (not FB just Back)
#8 Receivers were much better than expected (Daily made several good catchs that will keep him on the field at that position IMHO
I found alot of Pics from the game postes by a Grundy guy in the SWVASports page

RC was beat 7 TDs to 0 by John Battle. I have heard it wasn't a terrible showing as the score may indicate. RC had some bright spots, but I am still waiting on some more details. RC's line will be the biggest in a long time as well like you are saying about CW's Counts. LT - 215, LG - 260, C -270, RG 270- RT -330. Whats best is that all of those kids have pretty good feet under them too. RC will be breaking in most of the skill positions though. Their FB will be their workhorse though after a solid freshman year.
Is that Ironlung I saw in one picture there in the pressbox?

I'm glad I wasn't picking my nose or something.

Thats what I thought. I flipped by the pic too fast and didn't take the time to go back.

Letcher didn't score on us and we scored 1 I think on their 1st team D and 3 on their 2nd team.

Went to the Lee/Appy scrimmage last night. They are about the same size-wise and speed is about the same. Lee scored one time on a big play from scrimmage, moved the ball pretty well, mostly by the pass though. They had a couple good runs. Their attitude seems to be the biggest change from years part. They don't look to be just going through the motions, but seem genuinely wanting to win.
Appy has some decent size weight and numbers. I saw about 35 on the sidelines. Stuart looks to be the quarterback this year, adding the threat of a "wildcat" type of offense. Barker looked good at running back. Overall, their offense looked good as they too scored on a long drive. Defense looks to be their achilles heel as the ends and cornerbacks need a lot of work. Decent size, and speed, maybe just needing to tweek a couple things here and there.
Yeah, I was the genius noseguard wearing the PV helmet. Hello, as well.
Baker is going to be tough on both sides of the ball from what I saw, he did really good when they had him at LB too. Donald Davis is going to be a handful on the line, hes the kid who went to state in wrestling a couple years ago and hes hit the weights pretty hard this year from what Ive seen.
