Taylor County hosted a 7 on 7 Tournament today with 16 teams including Central Hardin, South Warren, Larue County, North Hardin, Western Hills, Harlan County, Bell County, and Adair County. North Hardin defeated Adair County in the finals. 

Exactly my point on these 7x7 does anyone believe Adair Co is better than Central Hardin, South Warren or Bell Co. Nothing against Adair Co but I think you have to take these 7x7 with a grain of salt.

Madison - Ridgeland is #7 team in Mississippi according to Cal preps ratings.

Update #3 from Hoover: Male was sent packing in the quarters. Madison-Ridgeland won going away. Good showing by the Dawgs against a loaded field.

Bowling Green defeated Bullitt East 35-22 and then Madisonville 39-11 in the BotW tournament, then fell to Hopkinsville in the semifinals (can’t find the score).

I agree.  A lot changes when you add linemen and also the possibility of running the ball.  A lot of times, not everyone plays either or often times, backups get a lot of reps as well, which is needed, where they wouldn't necessarily in a regular season game.  7v7, in my opinion, helps with timing and also some team bonding....that's about it.

7/7 is important if you win.  When your team loses it becomes more of "it's not real football".

I agree with this 100%.  7 on 7 is good for team bonding, timing and getting reps against kids that are normally better than your 1's see in practice.  It's a chance to see kids compete and have fun.  But, it really has no indication on how successful your team will be with pads on.

To early to tell about that!  Plus, I don’t really put a lot of stock in 7 on 7’s.  

I don't put much stock either. You can't do anything without the help of the offensive and defensive lines. 7 on 7 pretty much is for pass accuracy between quarterback and receivers.

I assume Fleming and Mason will be the main two in the hunt in that District unless something has changed.

Should be but you never know with high school kids!

I agree totally  and I’m all for these tournaments I think they’re great practice, but I just don’t get to distracted by who’s winning and losing.

Collins Hill ended up winning the Hoover 7on7. Their quarterback is a top 10 prospect in the country at that position and committed to Missouri. His primary target is a top 5 overall prospect nationally in the class of '22, who is being recruited as a cornerback but also plays receiver. A pitch and catch combo that good is hard to stop in these passing tournaments.
