Derrick Davis's Chargers

I hope the threat of rain Friday doesn't cancel the scrimmage, it would be great to see how this team looks against someone else and get some video to look at.

It looks like 90% rain Friday. Maybe they can get the scrimmage moved to Thursday? I want to see what we look like against someone else as well. Will they play Monday if it gets cancelled Friday?

Any practice updates? Is the scrimmage in Hixson still on tomorrow? 

[OldSchoolCharger 12]

Right now it is still on somewhere around 4:15ish

Anyone going down to Hixson today? 

What is the scrimmage setup?

Regardless of the scrimmage setup Coach Davis will be looking for toughness and effort. He will not be so concerned with mistakes scheme wise because he knows the kids are still learning. If they show good effort and toughness the wins will come this the fall.

How did the scrimmage go?

[OldSchoolCharger 12]

After both teams got the cobwebs knocked off, it was a fairly even scrimmage. Defense found a few football players who played downhill and put on some good licks. Still working on breaking old habits on offense, but moved the ball when folks blocked the right people and backs hit the right holes. Ones against ones, I thought the Chargers may have had a slight edge. Still a long way to go and still evaluating depth. I hope this bunch will keep working and build on the team concept that Coach Davis and staff is emphasizing.

Central 0

Hixson 1

 

In a down and distance game like scrimmage it wouldn't have been close. Central might have been forced to punt 3 times. Hixson had 2 long runs and 1 long pass and that was it. 

 

It will be a tough scrimmage in the fall because Hixson will have all their dudes back and starting QB. THAT will make them VERY hard to stop. 

 

Hope they play a game like scrimmage. I love getting a real game in before season

I was wondering how it went. Good to hear got all summer lifting and when can start practicing it's going to amp up. Davis is big on the weight room too. Central won't be gassed in the 4th any game I can promise that. With Davis and his staff those boys will be in shape

Well, going to be a loooooooong summer before football finally gets here. Can not wait for the first fall scrimmages to begin, the jamboree and McMinn week!

This is off-topic, but where did Vestal end up/where will he end up? I'm assuming he probably put in for the Sequoyah job too?
