Beechwood 27 Dixie Heights 6 (Scrimmage)

[theguru]

From another thread:

 

Dixie got absolutely smoked by BW in the scrimmage tonight. It was live scoring and the varsity game was halted after 3 qtrs. with the Tigers up 27-6. The Wood's D was stifling and the Fieger to Slusher combination finally got it rolling. Big yards by Stringer in the beginning. I have not seen CCH yet but Dixie looked flat and out of condition. They were cramping all night.

 

================

 

Anyone have a final score?

Final score of the varsity part of the scrimmage was 27-6. Details to follow.

I find this puzzling since last year everyone was impressed with how well conditioned Dixie was compared to past years.

Thanks Eye, I updated the title.

Dixie's starting quarterback did not play tonight. I am sure that had an impact on their game.

In this scrimmage, the varsity teams played live action football for 3 quarters.Here is a drive by drive summary:

BW at 21 - 3 and out

DH at 50 - Went for it on 4th down, QB fumble, DT Rowe scooped ball and ran it into the end zone. Unfortunately, at the 10 yard line Rowe raised his hand in celebration and got called for unsportsmanlike so BW got the ball on the Dixie 31.

Wow!

[Voice of Reason]

The Tigers looked pretty good tonight. They will get better. The offensive line still is working things out but the defense looked good. It should be a good battle next week in the opener versus Lloyd.

 

Oh, one more note, Brett Slusher is the man. The kid just makes plays all night long. He may be the best football player in Northern Kentucky.

In the JV part of the scrimmage, which was the 4th quarter of the game, Dixie outscored Beechwood 14-6. Dixie had a couple of good looking run backs, #3 and #3 1. Sorry I did not have a roster so I don't know their names. #3 1 especially looked good. Very fast, good power and tough. On the Beechwood TD, QB Burch threw led Elijah McKenry perfectly and he made an awesome catch diving in the end zone.

 

The Beechwood freshmen only got one series on offense and one on defense, They intercepted a Dixie pass on defense. On offense, they marched 70 yards for a TD scored by Noah Howard. The Beechwood freshman team looks really, really good.

Does anyone remember the Elvis Grbac to Desmond Howard TD catch against ND in Howard's Heismsn year? McHenry's catch was very similar. A collective WOW! in the stands.

Why was he out ? Injury ?

[lamontab]

Elijah McKinney is a Soph. transfer from Conner who made the great catch.

[Voice of Reason]

Dixie certainly will look better with their QB back. I don't think it would have changed the result of this game.

I find this puzzling since last year everyone was impressed with how well conditioned Dixie was compared to past years.

 

Last year's Dixie class was an anomaly. So many athletes conditioned from wrestling. I don't think we will ever see again a team in 6A get to a state championship game playing two way players.
