How did CA do in their scrimmage vs Giles County? 

1st teams played the whole 1st half with CA up 28-6

CA only played it's 1st team a few possessions during the 2nd half with Giles Co playing their 1st team throughout the 3Q against CA's JV to get the game's score back in their favor.  Final was either Giles Co. 42 or 41 to CA 35.

Impressive. I knew the dawgs were loaded!

I find it difficult to believe that Giles left their 1st string for 3 full quarters. What a risk injury and conditioning wise. And for what?

Rockets play RePublic at the Jamboree Fri. Father Ryan and Giles Co round out the Jamboree.

RePublic is a charter school who has grades 9-12 for the first time this season. They were about on par with our JV last year. Our varsity dominated them.

Will be interesting to see what happens. Forrest rolls, everyone will say "they should have". If they struggle people will say "uh oh."

It was a scrimmage so who knows what the coach's game plans were but with only 2:22 minutes off the clock in the 3rd CA pulled their 1st team and most of their 2nd team with the score 28-13. Then with :13 left in the 3Q Giles Co scored to take the lead 34-28 with #12 Bryce Wallace still leading the offense.  CA ended up putting a few 1st team guys back in at the end of the 3rd/ start of the 4th to slow it down for a series. You would have thought Giles Co fans and players were playing a Region Championship game by the way they were trash talking and cheering their team on while scoring on CA's reserves.

Let them brag. All those youngsters will be better with the experience under their helmets when it actually matters.

1. They have a brand new QB that needs to develop timing with his receivers?  Or

2. The coaches weren't pleased with the starters' performance against the smaller academy?

LC had a pretty even scrimmage with Giles in the spring and it got kind of chippy several times on both sides.  

[GeneralForrest]

Giles has been about equal with Forrest the last couple years. Wallace is good. I think the top 4 teams in Region 5 2A could beat Giles

Whatever the reason, leaving your starters out there for that long 2 weeks before the home opener. I dont get it 

 

[GeneralForrest]

Based on what I saw last night, Forrest could go 10-0 or 2-8 or anywhere in between. They will have a chance to win every game.  They will have a chance to lose every game except Community and Cascade. 

 

[EHSEagles]

Between 2-8 and 10-0? That's a pretty wide range of outcomes!

[GeneralForrest]

Dude, you have no idea. This team..you saw them last year. Sophomores took you to OT on your home field. They can be ridiculously physical then they go and make a mistake, I mean, it's kids.  But it's that perplexing in terms of trying to predict. I wasn't kidding.
