Huntingdon Mustangs @ OCCHS Rebels

[Purple & Gold Standard]

Obion County Central and the Huntingdon Mustangs battled to a 2-2 tie in their scrimmage today at Troy.....OC opened on offense in the 10 play then down and distance type scrimmage...OC went down the field but fumbled deep in Mustang territory after a completed pass near the goalline.....Huntingdon took over a went down the field and was about to score but also fumbled down deep in Rebel territory...OC and Huntingdon then traded scores and also turnovers during the varsity scrimmage......

 

Huntingdon's first teamers then scored two quick scores on the Rebel second team defense...Both the Rebel and Mustang second team offense did not score on each other.....

 

This was a hard hitting scrimmage...Both offenses looked pretty crisp..Logan Parker ran the veer and mid-line option very well and had some good completions....Huntingdon looked good with Chris Donald and Crocker running the offense...The Rebel first string defense held Donald pretty much in check and actually caused hin to fumble twice.Donald did get loose on a long run late in the scrimmage against the Rebel second unit defense....The Mustangs are balanced on offense they are going to be tough to deal with in 2A ball this year....The Rebels need to continue to improve in the secondary but the run defense didn't look all that bad...The Rebels are going to be tough to stop on offense..They are trying to balance things out this year and its going to stretch the defense and not allow them to put 9-10 in the box to try and stop the veer...All in all it was a good scrimmage and test for the Rebels....

 

The Rebels travel to Huntingdon next Friday night to face West Carroll in the Huntingdon jamboree and I think they face the War Eagles in the 3rd quarter of action....OC opens the season at home on Aug.25th against the Dresden Lions..
