Gaddis has nothing to do with the middle school schedules.  This falls on the Admin. at JMS and RMS.  Last year, the same thing happened when OR played on a Thursday, but last year  JMS moved their game to Sat.  Not sure why they couldn't get it done this year.  It is unfortunate.    

Because AC is playing on Saturday. That's probably why Norris won't move the game.

That makes sense.  I hope that IS the reason, because that would be the only good reason.

How's the coverage? I think I saw that it runs ~7 bucks a month, which isn't too bad.

Well, do you know of any other sites that offer in-depth coverage on 7 on 7s and scrimmages?  And football isn't the only sport they cover. They cover local high school sports in general. It's definitely worth the price and then some.

HVA is one of those schools where the coaches of various sports don't like to share athletes, and with some to the point where they are flat out told that by playing football it damages the chances of getting PT in other sports.  It's been that was in particular with baseball players, as they play a significant fall schedule (unofficially, of course) and those kids know if they aren't there in the fall then they don't play in the spring.  Be interesting to see the new baseball coach's philosophy there.  

Unfortunately there are a few area schools in this same situation, and it's a shame, really.  It's just not fair to the kids.  

Meant to reply to this yesterday... I think baseball was the main culprit here at HVA.  I know that 30+ of the football players ran track this last season.  Multiple FB guys on basketball team.  Not many crossovers from soccer, but with brand new head coach for boys and girls soccer this year I know of 3 or 4 FB guys talking about playing soccer this spring.

Shame to hold back athletes from playing every sport possible in high school.  I think the push for recruiting, off season camps, and year-round training has taken away some of the FUN of playing multiple sports in high school.  Funny fact is most college coaches are looking for multi-sport athletes... so this professionalism, year-round dedicated sport focus is actually counter-productive.  Not to mention the muscles that are not being accessed by only playing one sport.

Spirit is hopping in the Valley this week... new turf field, new video scoreboard, Thursday night TV game, tradition-rich rival coming to town!  I hope the hawks can soar above all the hype and distractions to take care of business.  Noticed that the hawks have never beaten OR at home in this short-run rivalry.  Time to start some new traditions... #GoHawks

Is there a Coach’s show tonight?

I turned on the talk show late. Who did Joe project as the OLine? I heard him say later they were all underclassmen.

 

What else did I miss about the offense?

I heard him say three sophomores and I heard him say both QBs would play

Catswild,

Are you worried about the line and breakaway speed?

Lol...if we’re starting three sophomores on the line then I’m worried. But we do have breakaway speed so that’s good!

I believe he said Hill, West, Galloway, Herrera and Kesterson on the O-line.
