How did all 3 teams look???

Weather played a part in changing the scrimmage. Because of rain Crockett Co. cancelled the scrimmage at their place. Brighton and Lake Co. got together in Tiptonville. Overall a good scrimmage for both teams. the score ended 0-0 in varsity action. Brighton won the action with the young guys 2-0. I felt Lake Co. looked good on Defense and just missed scoring two or three times on offense. It looked like a typical first scrimmage for both teams. Brighton had around 70 players adid not even bring their freshmen. They were very athletic team. LC played hard and stood toe to toe with the AAAA team. No injuries so it was a good day in that department for both teams.

Everyone I talked to was as pleased as could be with the way Lake County held its own against a school six times its size (LC enrollment--258; Brighton enrollment--1,310). The defense was salty against the run, especially on Brighton's second series when they completed a pass for 35 yards to get inside the 10, then the Falcons held on four straight plays. I thought that really made a statement.

 

Brighton brought 81 players to Tiptonville (Lake County has 29 and had one missing), and did not bring any freshmen and only half their sophomores. They also platooned 11 on offense, 11 on defense, then brought in a different group each series. Lake County's same 13 or 14 played both ways all day until the JV portion, and even then some of LC's starters had to stay in there. And to hold a team with that much speed and numbers scoreless while moving the ball quite well against them...that says a lot. I'm excited.
