Morristown East vs Science Hill scrimmage Aug 10

[plowboy2]

I agree with your assessment, but my problem with this thread is we build up a scrimmage and a team and then the scrimmage goes South as far as expectations and now scrimmage is meaningless. Not saying you were that way topvol but so many posters on here were. East was tough last year and they got better every week because their system was new and they are going to be very tough this year. Hope it works out the same way for the Toppers

This is a fun thread!

The Cane's D didn't lose anyone to graduation last year if I'm not mistaken. I was vey anxious to hear how the new QB would work with their offense. Which kid played at QB. I was curious if the Howell kid got some snaps.

 

Tee did not work at QB but played alot of safety. The D did lose Seth Ewing to graduation but the soph. class has supplied great depth on D. Tyler turner and barnett are working 1 and 2 at QB and Blanton(so.) looks great at RB. Matt Helton had about 6 or 7 tackles getting 50% of the reps on D at SLB.

East's offense looks like it is more along than Science Hill's but it was a scrimmage, an glorified pratice so kids can get looks from another team. Science Hill lost most of the yards with the qb-center exchange as there were errant and mishandling of snaps. I also find it hard to believe that Science Hill went into their playbook too far but the offensive line had it's problems. To be fair, I'm think East had some to do with it, along with the heat but that's been a concern since last spring. I believe that the offense will get there.

Science Hill defense looked good not great but good. It's hard to face veers when your not seeing it a lot. I'm sure that in the grand scheme of things that gameplanning this scrimmage is not in the forefront of anyones mind. East has some nice speed and quickness in it's skill positions. If Science Hill had wrapped up on tackles in the backfield, their grade would have been higher. East looked very good on defense. They tackled well and put great pressure on the qb which allowed their dbs to be in great position the whole affair. I believe the heat took it's toll. I hope the East receiver that got folded up on the underthrown pass is okay.

East done a good job of executing but their offense seemed to be as one dimensional as Science Hill's, at this scrimmage. With SOME passing abillity, East would be down right scary. They are also gonna have to get that pitch down too as alot of them hit the ground. I see why the enthusiasm is so high at East. I think both teams will continue to improve and should have great years. I'm glad that both teams walked away without serious injuries.

 

 

I've got to put this out in the open....that "heat" wasnt really that bad trust me i even asked around and it seemed cooler that day than any other day...the thermometer may have said 93 but that Science Hill wind felt great

Expectations are high at Science Hill.

Nice description....you are on the mark. I really think the OL will get better as the season goes on. I hope Coach Smith utilizes the running game more as this may be the strength for this team. They don't have a lot of team speed IMHO and that handicaps this offense built on utilizing seems and space. However, the future is so bright as the lower grades have "tons" of kids out and the excitement is as high as I have seen it. I cannot wait for the season to get her.

How did Terrell Dockery look. I don't think I saw anything mentioned about him.

He had a long run that set up the first score. just guessing, I would say he had 65 yards on 8 carries.

MO-East offense looked okay, they only have about 3 offensive plays. MO-East defense was okay too. Hard to tell, S-Hill kept playing against their selves. S-Hill needs an O-line, bad! S-Hill's defense looked solid for the most part. #44 for S-Hill is a man among boys.

 

I think both teams need a lot of work, especially S-Hill.

 

yes, agree #44 is good...but not a man among boys........our OL needs some work but they will start clicking....it shouldnt take them long....the defense is looking strong right now and we just need to keep up the good work, stay coachable, and get the job done...if we do these things then we will be alright

We're okay . . . This offense will get cranked-up. This is a new system and it is going to take some time.

 

People keep forgetting that scrimmages are for practice and evaluation. Nothing more . . . It's NOT a proving ground for one team against the other (unlike some coaches (Mo-East coach) or parents and others think). Sure you want to do well, but many things can and will change when REAL GAME time begins.

Not a proving ground is right and the Moeast coach said just that to the SH coach when he wanted to go ones again after 8 possessions. He said "we don't have anything to prove". Get a clue about things before you start digging into our coach.

Sounds like the east coach had something that he felt he proved.....lol

[canefan72]

He proved that the ones had gone enough and had got the work that they came to get and there was no need to risk injury because the SH coach said "we want the ones again". I'm sorry that the scrimmage did not work out well for SH but 8 possessions is more than some teams get in a game. The ones went for a good hour and 20 min. and that was enough for coach hatcher.
