NCAA 2025 is where it is at, that fake Madden stuff ain't for real players.

I think just 1 scrimmage so far, at Powell. Today at Emory & Henry at 6 vs Lord Botetourt.

Looks like the interest in DB football has fallen off the cliff. I wonder why? This thread was started in February and has gone to 10 pages. I remember when a DB thread would go to 10 pages in a week, and every week. Anybody want to talk about Basketball?

I'm not sure there's nearly as much passion about HS football as there used to be.    Even now when I go to Boone games it seems a lot of people are there just to socialize, a lot of them don't know the difference between a linebacker and a fair catch.         Maybe time to start a Farragut @ DB thread and see what happens.

May be a long year for the Indians,  2 starters out for the year before practice starts, another that wont be back until October, 3 lineman going both ways in 6A football? Powell scrimmage was not good, Knox Central was better, don't know about Botetourt.  Down numbers -- 3-4 years ago they had 115+ in 10-12 and only 90 jerseys, decline was seen in youth levels a few years before.  No boys and girls club anymore?  Lynn Garden barely had enough for 3 summer teams and now Fall is "travel" just like baseball and basketball.

I don't think any 5A or 6A school should have a lot of 2-way guys, but it happens more than we realize.      Either the players are not being developed or 80% of the kids are there just to fulfill a roster quota.     Well who knows, perhaps nepotism can play a role as well.    None of this is targeted at DB specifically by the way, just some observations on why schools with > 1500 kids can't field a team of 22.

100% Nepotism at DB. It started when Ted Wilson retired.
