It will be a controlled scrimmage of 10 offensive plays then 10 defensive plays repeated several times. Then 2nd and 3rd team will get some playing time.

So how can you predict a winner or who looks the best?

It's the 1st scrimmage after 4 days of practice.....who cares?

This is not just a scrimmage, but a chance to see how our Yellow Jackets compare to last year. After looking at the preseason schedule, scrimmage or not, bragging rights will be nice to have a scrimmage victory over a private school that has had great names such as Golden and Wesley Tate. The coaches went and got a good team, and beating a private school, like JPII, in a scrimmage could mean alot in November. We are excited that JPII is coming to our house controlled scrimmage or not. This is a great opportunity to evaluate our program after a long off season! Go Jackets! What time does this scrimmage begin?

How did the scrimmage go? How did JPII look?

JPII scored 3 on the varsity to 2 on the varsity by Springfield.

 

JPII scored 2 on the JV to 0 on the JV of Springfield.

 

From what I saw, JPII was a very sound team. The QB's were very good, running back was fast, and the line was tough. JPII scored on a 40 yard run, 70 yard touchdown pass, 45 yard run on their varsity. Springfield scored on a 12 yard pass and a 40 yard pass. The JPII JV ran a 23 yard run and a 30 yard pass I think.

 

All in all it was a good scrimmage with great hits on both sides. You would think it was the most important game of the year to both teams. There was not a play that you could not hear the tackle from the top row of the bleachers. Good luck to JPII, and thank you for your sportsmanship and nice crowd.
