Bump.

How did NL look in their first scrimmage was anyone there that can chime in. I will be there this Friday to see how the Rockets look should be a good scrimmage hopefully the format is 2-3 quarters of regular varsity action.

I'm eager to hear how the NL/Rock scrimmage plays out. I'm confident the Rockets will be pretty good this year, but the Jags are always a hard team to read. They've had talent and experience in recent years, but always seem to underwhelm.

I have a relative that worked North Laurel's first scrimmage.  They were pretty rough.  He said it might be a long season for the Jags.  But it was a scrimmage, so maybe they were getting things ironed out.

I’m sure things will get ironed out soon enough. I mean that’s supposed to be the purpose of scrimmages lol. It does sometimes take a little longer to see the results we all want. Either way I’m sure both teams will be ready by the time the season starts next week. I’m sure both teams will have good plays in the scrimmage this Friday. I am also sure both teams will turn right around and do something crazy and look bad this Friday lol. That seems to happen with young kids haha I’ll let you and everyone know what I see out of both teams come Friday. Thanks for the insight!

I’ll post what I see from the scrimmage on Friday. I believe Rock will have a good shot again this year like they did two years ago to make it past the third round and beyond. Especially with Lex Cath now in the west and Belfry moved down in class. The east I believe will be Bell Rock and then between Lawrence and Letcher County Central. Both those teams are much different and step down from having to play against Catholic and Belfry. Now depending on rpi the fourth round may be a matchup with a top team from the west but still that’s thanksgiving weekend something Rock was used to playing back in early 2000’s. 

NL should be improved as well they always have athletes and play hard. The head coach there was on our coaching staff two years ago he will get things rolling up there if they give him the time to do so.

Rock got ball 1st

Ended first possession with int on NL 10

NL with first down 

2nd down 10 NL on 32

Rock off sides 1st 10 on 45

2nd 10 45 run no gain 

NL qb keeper gain 7
