From: Alcoa- Powell scrimmage

[Tornado89]

The scrimmage started out with 1st team vs 1st team. Alcoa was on offense first and moved the ball across the field for it's first score. Field goal missed.

 

Powell came back with some very good pass plays and scored, went for two and did not get in. Score 6-6.

 

Alcoa back on offense again scored, field goal good, score 13-6.

 

Powell's next offensive series sputter a bit as Alcoa started going to a three man front to better cover the short pass plays that Powell had been having so much success early with. Powell turned the ball over to Alcoa after failing too score in the 10 play format.

great report, any injuries?

Alcoa's next series was inconstant, but was able the get a long run down to the 1 yard line on their last play of the 10 play series. score remained 13-6.

 

Powell again was inconstant on it's next series and did not score.

 

Alcoa's scored again, score 20-6.

 

Powell last series.......no score.

 

At this point, both teams put their second teams in. without a lot of detail, Alcoa could move the ball well, winning the series 14-0.

 

Both 1st teams took the field for a 2nd time. Alcoa scored, 1st team on 1st team score 27-6.

 

Powell put together another great drive relying heavily on the pass and scored. Powell went for 2 and was successful. score 27-14.

 

Alcoa scored on the next series, another missed extra point, score 33-14.

 

Both teams then went to a goal line series starting at the 10 yard line. Alcoa won that series scoring twice. Powell was never able to score.

 

Notes:

 

IMO, Powell looks better than they have in the scrimmages against Alcoa the last couple of years. They have a great QB and some great WR's. If they could get a running game going to balance out their offense, they would tough on offense.

 

Powell exposed some weakness Alcoa will need to work on. First will be pass defense.

 

Freshman game was played on the practice field at the same time as the Varsity game. I was not able to watch this game. One Alcoa parent told me Alcoa won the scrimmage, one Powell fan/parent told me the game was "pretty even".

 

Both teams got a great work out. The scrimmage started at 5:30 and did not end til 9:00.

 

Next scrimmage will be at Alcoa August 12th against Oak Ridge. start time???
