I saw on arbiter is was cancelled. Anyone have any details to why?

West, Paris, Bath and Powell were doing a 4 way scrimmage

Paris and Powell were set to go last but the both teams were “scrimmaged out” by that time and the mutual decision was made not to go on. Hope this clears up any questions.

Any information for all teams?

Paris actually scrimmages Bath this week but this at Nicholas Co. as part of the EKC Grid. I’m not sure on West and Powell. I do know West will play someone in the EKC grid as well. 

Friday August 15th

Paris v Bath Co 6pm

Nicholas Co v East Carter 8pm

Games at Nicholas County High as part of the EKC Grid-o-Rama.

Any updates from this?

Paris v Bath

Game take away from 1 scrimmage: Paris took advantage of turnovers to jump out to an early lead and would hold on. Bath was big upfront but couldn’t get a lot going on offense and susceptible to the big play on defense. Paris was fast but will struggle defensively with an opponent who enjoys being physical and can eat clock. Paris won by 3 scores, can’t remember exact final. 
 

Nicholas v East

Nicholas moved the ball up and down the field most of the night but failed to convert after multiple long touchdown runs called back for penalties. East did not move the ball much but did convert on 2 big plays for scores. Final was East 14 Nicholas 6. Good battles up front all night on both sides, both offense and defensive lines for both teams battled all night. There is a lot of excitement for East’s program, looked to have 60-70 kids out. For Nicholas it was true “Ironman” football with their starters going both ways for much of the game. Surprising result when looking at expectations for the season. Nicholas, barring injury should have a good record by seasons end and East should be in the hunt for a district championship again this season.

Give me some more thoughts on Paris from your perspective?

Paris perspective: 

Athletic but looked very young as opposed to recent years, particularly at the skill positions. Looks like the coaching staff is a disciplined and detail oriented group of veterans that will probably have them hitting on more cylinders later in the season. As like many 1A schools, not much depth. They didn't have more than 30 kids and about half of that looked like they could really contribute at the Varsity level. 

Paris scored on a pick six, and a couple long runs. They didn't get to run much offense and didn't sustain drives when they had the ball. Bath County had a lot more time of possession with Paris scoring on quick hitters. So I can't say I got much of a read on what the Paris coaches want to do offensively. Paris played much more defense than offense in the EKC Scrimmage. When Bath Co. squared up and wanted to run downhill they had success moving the ball. When Bath Co. wanted to get to the edge or spread it out, which they wanted to do too frequently, that style played right into Paris's hand. 

Barring mounting injuries, I look for Paris to improve each week under the new staff. 

What type of offense are they running? I tried to watched some the first 4 team scrimmage at Bath County but can’t see nothing. Looked like some wing T stuff but camera going back and fourth.
