Boone County vs. Newport Central Catholic (Scrimmage)

[RetiredFan]

Boone County scrimmages Newport Central Catholic tonight at 7:00 due to heat.   The scrimmage will be at Boone County High School.  Interesting to see how along each team is this early in the pre-season.  The only thing I know is its going to be hot.

96° right now in NKY at 4:30pm. Heat index is currently at 102° - and it's bound to be higher than that on a turf field right now. I hope they're able to get the scrimmage in.

Any updates?

Scrimmage took place as planned.  Controlled scrimmage.  No less than 15 officials were there doing training for the upcoming season.  Boone had respectable numbers and were big up front.  Not what you would expect for a school their size.  Look to be rebuilding.   NCC kept the running game very basic.  Didn't show anything.  The Quarterback (Miles) was on target, especially with the deeper balls.   NCC first team defense kept Boone in check.  Second teams got a lot of work during extended water breaks for both Boone and NCC.  Overall, I think it gave both coaches an idea where they are as we approach the season.

Either team score?

NCC first team scored 3 or 4 times.  I believe it was a fumble recovery return for six. one rushing TD and it was one or two passing TD's.  NCC had a nice interception (Ford) in the endzone. Boone did not score.  Both teams appeared to be in decent shape even considering the excessive heat.
