Who will be attending this years match up of Dixie vs. NCC? And what do you see as the outcome.

 

Dixie won last season.

NCC the year before.

 

Me myself, I don't care about the W, but want to see the O clicking against a quality opponent. Our D should be very good, though I suspect that it will give up a few plays here and there due to all the shuffling for evaluation. I expect it will be a great day to watch a football game as usuall.:thumb:

 

My memory might be failing me because it was awhile ago, but didn't Newcath win this scrimmage last year 14-13? If I recall correctly Dixie took the classy move at the end of the third quarter and kicked an extra point instead of going for the tie. Other than that this scrimmage looks to be a great test for both teams. Both teams are the cream of the crop in their respective classes in NKY. Looks like it might turn into a dandy if the NCC team that played the third quarter Saturday shows up. However it could be a long day if they don't show up ready to play again. However I have to go with my gut and pick NCC in a low scoring game.

You are correct.Late in the the game Dixie's JV. scored twice on ours but the varsity was 14 to 13.

I knew someone would see that one.:laugh: The "winning" team thing was pretty much an inside joke that most wouldn't get, I knew. But technically we did win when you add the score. Honestly, though everyone wants to win, I don't think the coaches are as focused on that as preparing for the season. Score doesn't really matter as much as team and player evaluation. This "game" is usually a pretty good one. Should be fun to watch. I doubt that either will score as much as they could, as both coaches will be trying to work on specific things to prepare their clubs for the season. We use our first three games in much the same way, but I'm sure that winning is a little more important if for nothing more than bragging rights. But even those don't matter as much as weeks 5-11.

What I would like to know--does Sting mean the above statement (the "In the second half NCC opened it up . . . ." as in--opened up the offense--or opened up owning the game?

 

I only ask because--from my view point--NCC had a hard time moving the ball through the air. Where as in the 2nd half--they moved the ball down the field with the run (exclusively).

 

Sorry. Poor description on my part. At the beginning of the 3rd, NCC began ripping holes through SK's defense. They had two jumbo OLmen (#76 & 78 I believe) that just out muscled SK down the field. A couple of us at the game discussing this wondered why they didn't do this earlier, unless NCC was doing this on purpose working on their air game heavy in the first half.

actually NCC did not do bad moving the ball in the first half.They just were not finishing.3 times inside the 25 yard line then penalties, sacks or just dropped passes. Regardless it doesn't matter if you just move the ball you have to score also.The passing game will be there,you wont just have to stop Vicars,your going tohalf to stop the pass also.

Kind of off topic here but I thought Simon looked slightly better than NCC in the first half. I thought Simon could have run the ball right down NCC's throat had they wanted to but the Simon coaching staff did the smart thing and worked on balancing their attack. I really think these two teams are pretty close to being even.

 

I am looking forward to the Dixie/NCC scrimmage, as some other said this is always a good one even if it is only a warm up game for the main event that night.

Agreed, NCC was very sloppy in the first half on OFF. and Def. second half was the exact opposite.

I don't know here, just asking, but could it be that NCC was in better shape than Simon? I thought Simon passed the look test but they had a lot of players that looked like they had been hitting the weights hard and I wonder if they were a little winded in the second half?

I believe it was a combination of things.That could be one of them I don't know.I believe the biggest reason was the All senior line in the third. That is just my opinion though.

For those of us who cannot attend, please supply us with a good description of the game. And for the life of me, do NOT tell me Dixie is going to surprise people this year. :lol:

You are to funny. It would be a suprise if Dixie didnt KILL NCC. Anytime a 4A school plays a 1A school it shouldnt even be close. You guys crack me up. Go ahead and get exited about playing NCC. If you dont kill them you should be embarassed. Game of the year. To funny. Dixie is good, dont get me wrong but they should be playing other 4A schools to get ready for the season like Highlands is playing Male. Now that is a scrimmage game. Last week you played Connor 3A which is down and this week tiny New Cath. Dont mean to rain on your parade. Go ahead get excited. Go get em Dixie, beat that 1A school. Next year schedule some Ohio big schools or some large schools in Louisville. Give Bishop Brossart a call I heard they needed a scrimmage and maybe Latin School might start a football program. Dont get me wrong, I like Dixie and I know they are going to be good, but come on, do a better job of scheduling scrimmages.

Last week you played Connor 3A which is down and this week tiny New Cath.

 

 

Wow, your credibility and knowledge just went down.

We have a few big backs, but I would guess it's Tyler Day. He's a monster. I just hope he gets mean this year.:madman:
