looks like Union is gonna be in trouble.
Honistly I thought that they looked pretty good (The Run D looked good and I think the Pass D will get better (You don't game plan for a controlled scrimmage and it is tough to defend the spread with a base D)Originally Posted by gchs_devils
Offence looks good personnel wise but the OLine needs work of they are going to be a dominat team (granted the THS D Line MAY have just been awesome but I do not think anyone knows at this point)
from what i seen in that video 1st string vs 1st string they looked pretty good to me. Even in powell valley's state champ years (Which they beat gatecity each year that they won state) they never dominated a scrimmage neither did appy. the plan is to run a very vanilla game plan and see how the kids look fundamentally. they look like they are gonna win the lpd and make a good run in the playoffs with this new playoff system.
You must have seen Appy play someone other than the scrimmages I saw in the state years.
We'll keep the lights on for you.
Spuds
1. pass to #29whatd the score end up being?
and nice GO VIKES i heard in there
2 Michael Fersner on a jet sweep
3. pass to #21
4. pass to #34
5. pass to #19
6 pass to Adrian Lavergne
THS scored six touchdowns before the scrimmage concluded and they turned around on a couple of drives. If #21 and #34 are on the second team, hopefully they'll be rotated in on the 1st string. Too much speed to not use them. #2 for Union looked good when he was able to get past the line. A couple of numbers mentioned on the other page also impressed me.
A question left unanswered for me is the THS secondary. Union didn't throw enough to get an accurate picture. THS also appeared to half difficulty running between the tackles. That may be because the heaviest back is only 150. This offense will probably be most effective running on the edge or throwing. Get several of those fast players in open space and they're a threat to score every time. The defense gang tackled on almost every play. Aside from the question about the secondary, I think a team that would give THS fits would probably be one with a big line and physical players; a team that will try to pound it down their throat.
Both teams should be fine when the season begins. Rarely see any of the teams that Union plays (except Virginia High once a year). I did see some Lee coaches heading into the Stone Castle to scout Union.
I was really impressed with Union in this scrimmage. 1st team vs. 1st team they done well only giving up one TD while I was there with their true 1st team in. I think the only other td I saw against Unions 1st team was really a mixture of 1s and 2s. Union will lay a rude awakening on anyone that takes them lightly.
Union definately seemed to be struggling at the defensive secondaries. They seem to have a nice run game when they are able to break through the gaps. I was impressed with #11 running the ball for Union. The video only shows him carry the ball three times and he must have had 30+ yards. #2 broke away for a nice carry also. Good luck Bears.
