From what I saw SK varsity couldn't stop the HC varsity and lost 7 scores to 5. I just wanted to see if the SK nation was going to have anything to say about it. BTW Barnes had 3 scores and Abernathy had 2 scores.

 

All I know is SK won 9 straight games today to win the Oldham County tournament and I was told they beat Holy Cross the other day.

You do realize SK played with out their best player Dillon Powell?

What is your point about Dillon Powell, 7 on 7's are a passing contest. With that being said I didn't know Dillon Powell played D. I'm sure he would have shut down Barnes & Abernathy.

He is great receiver and good for 3 tds.

What class is Holy Cross? What was their record last season?

He is great receiver and good for 3 tds.

 

One more than he scored last season.:thumb:

SK does sub in their JV kids when they face smaller teams so they can get reps. I hope HC has a great season.

The JV teams played against each other most of the morning with SK scoring at will.

When a teams best player for 7 on 7's is their RB then they are in trouble. You better hope their QB and receivers perform better in those than their RB.

 

WOW lol

 

Now I'm curious to where Dillon was? He isn't hurt again is he? I hope he stays healthy this year. Could have a big year.

I was able to watch the 7 on 7's at Dixie today. The teams that participated were

Ryle

Cooper

Dixie

Beechwood

 

I got there a little late so didn't get to watch the matchup of Ryle vs Cooper but was told it was pretty even.

 

What I did see however was this:

Cooper dominated in the 7 on 7's I watched.

Cooper vs Dixie, I don't know if Dixie scored at all as Cooper pretty much had their way with Dixie playing both their #1 and #2 QB. Cooper's D was just as impressive with a couple picks and pick 6

 

Beechwood vs Cooper Again Cooper dominated offensively. Their first 3 TD's took a total of 4 plays. Their Defense also had a couple INT's and a pick 6.

 

Ryle: I know some say there is a QB comptition, maybe that is the politically correct thing to say but from what I saw when Ryle played Dixie and Beechwood there was 1 clear favorite that stood out for Ryle at QB and that I would guess was Tanner Morgan. The other QB didn't have the arm that Tanner had or the accuracy downfield although Tanner did miss quite a few down field passes. The competition at least from what I saw wasn't even close. 1 kid truly looked like a natural as the other was ok but lacked velocity and arm strength. Tanner Morgan may have the best arm I've seen in the NKY area in a long long time. With that said, Ryle was clearly missing some of the receiver weapons they had last year. Although some passes were overthrown etc. some others were catchable but dropped. Tanner Morgan however is the real deal and if he gets his accuracy down he will be tough to stop.

 

Dixie: They will be a running team this year. They will miss Drew Moore. Their QB struggled at times and just needs a to get rid of the ball a bit sooner. also needs to work on his velocity, some balls seemed to float.

 

Beechwood: Has a really nice short passing game. Fiegher (sp) looks good but they seemed to be missing the deep threat. I think Burns who graduated last year will be missed this year. They should be good with a nice running game.

 

today clearly though Cooper and Ryle looked the best out of the 4 teams participating in the 7 on 7's and from what I saw I thought Cooper was the most solid on offense and defense, for whatever conclusions you can draw from 7 on 7's

Things to note. How many of Coopers skill players play and are still playing baseball? Ryle? I can assure you BW was down several players, or at least kids that are just getting back. Braves just wrapped up, was Slusher there? Burns will be missed, but he was not their deep threat last year, Slusher was. The staff elected to get it in Burns hands early and let him run. Was Stringer there? Don't think he's even practiced yet, Skins are still playing. That's two big names both sides of ball, and even if they were there not sure what shape they are in. Fieger also baseball kid, doubt he's in mid season form either. These issues always hinder BW in these shirts and helmet video game scrimmages, which is why I place zero value in them. If they mattered, from what I've read in here SK would have 5 rings in a row

The issues BW has with baseball is the same every school has. I wasn't putting BW down at all, shoot, that is my school!!!

 

I was just telling you what I noticed in today's 7 on 7 and nothing more. It's what was observed today period. That is why I said what I said at the end when I said "for whatever conclusions you can draw from 7 on 7's"

Ahhhh, now it makes sense after seeing the NKY top 10 list thread lol, now I know why panties were in a bunch lol.

 

Cooper didn't make the top 10 in someone's so there is no way they should have dominated like they did today lol.

:lol2:

 

I'm excited about the start of football season also and attended todays 7-on-7 at Rice Mountjoy Stadium. How on Gods good earth can anyone draw conclusions on potential season success based on backyard football?

 

I get it...folks like to draw conclusions, have opinions, leverage their favorite teams and predict the future. The most polished 7-on-7 team last July/August was Boone County. Played great D, QB made very good reads, they whooped and hollered, scored many TDs and all that translated into what last year?

 

Beechwood, Cooper, Dixie Heights, Ryle worked in 1st, 2nd, 3rd stringers against any combination of the other teams. So drawing conclusions and making predictions about the season is silly.

 

I look for consistency in the reps since we don't know what team ( 1st thru 3rd string ) I'm looking at. So I'll share a report based on my I'd like to think, objective opinion...

 

Of the 4 teams Ryles receiving corps did better than others at getting separation from the defending secondary. And Morgan did well throwing the ball in an area to take advantage of said separation. I did see more dropped balls by Ryle than I did the other 3 teams.

 

No QB really stood out regarding making quick reads except for Gunther Faeth of Dixie since the Colonels bread and butter is a quick release and allowing athletes in space to make plays.

 

Coopers defense shined with the most INTs. They make good reads and take advantage of bad decisions!

 

Morgan, Fieger, Faeth , Cooper QB ( my apologies I don't know his name ) will not have 4-6 seconds against good opponents to make decisions in pads and good/bad/ugly offensive lines against good/bad/ugly d-lines!

 

These kids are a good group. Kept level headed for the most part....are well coached and don't really know how fortunate they are. So I'll offer this message to the student-athletes:

 

Challenge yourselves to get better each rep, ask your coaches for insight, believe and challenge yourselves and your teammates. Just another event to confirm NKY is in for a very exciting season. Go NKY football...:thumb:

Never thought about 7v7 being backyard football, but I see that it probably is!
