CAL enters their JV in this event every year.  They actually did ok going 3-3 on the day I believe.  Now, back to my original point.  A good confidence booster for Glasgow no doubt, but not exactly the toughest part of the bracket to advance through.  I do appreciate the attempt at sarcasm, but might be good to know all the facts first.

It was not an attempt at anything it didn’t say JV so how am I supposed to know that. Irregularities of your opinion of my comment if I’m the coach I would rather win then lose and it seems they were right there with Ironton who has been doing very well in these events.

I saw Glasgow at Boyle for their 7 on 7, I thought they did a good job overall. Appeared to be well coached and knew what they wanted to do plus being very competitive. I along with others there will not be surprised with them being right in the mix in their region. Good luck on your season.

Ironton won it all by the way, they beat Boyle co by 2.

Yes is he a very solid QB, but I also know Collins is replacing 8 of their top 10 defenders from last year.  That also matters in 7v7.  that's another little fact for you.  Again, back to my original post…great confidence boost for the Scotties to make it to the final 4 of a big 7v7 tournament, but that portion of the bracket was far from the toughest.  Look at the bracket & tell me which part of that bracket was easier to get out of than the one Glasgow was in?  I wish nothing but a solid, healthy season for Glasgow.  I think it’s great that their fan base is excited about the upcoming season.  Nothing like a solid football program to help bring a community together.  Good luck this season.

Is the 7 on 7 still going on this week when will that be completed I know we will be getting to full practices soon I think the first scrimmages start August 7th.

I’m just curious—what was the point of bringing up that maybe their bracket was a little easier? Was your point to give a backhanded compliment? If so you succeeded with that.

Especially in a 7-on-7 tournament where the field is only 30 yards long. Those games aren’t always as easy as people think, regardless of who you’re playing. Walton-Verona played Trotwood Madison from Ohio. In a real game, that matchup would likely be a running clock. But in the 7-on-7 tournament, Trotwood was only up by one point with two minutes left, and Walton-Verona got down to the 10-yard line with one final play to tie it. It wouldn’t have been that close in a full game, but that’s exactly the point—7-on-7 is a different format.

No matter what the bracket looks like, it’s still not easy to win one of these tournaments or even advance far. A simple “Congratulations” and could be a great confidence boost for those kids would have been enough.

Instead it was more of a backhanded compliment, “Congratulations…but….” and you keep doubling down on that backhanded compliment too.

It was an observation...nothing more, nothing less.  Had that bracket been posted in the 7V7 topic on this forum, I would have said the same thing, but it was posted here instead.  I understand 7v7 is a different format, which is another way of saying it has no bearing or is not a predictor of November / December success, but even so, please take a look at that bracket and tell me, on paper, which part looked easier.  I'm not doubling down on what you perceive to be a backhanded compliment, but I am doubling down on my observation that it was an easier part to the bracket.  I'm not coming off of that opinion, observation or whatever you want to call it, so if someone wants to have a rebuttal such as "my eyes ain't what they used to be" but CAL was in that part of the bracket, I'll come back with the fact that was CAL's JV.  And when someone states Collins was in that part of the bracket and Kade Goodin is as good of a QB as any, then I'm coming back with he is, but also the fact that he is also only 1 guy and Collins is replacing 8 of their top 10 defenders from last year.  I made an observation and then defended it.  With all that being said, let's try this sincere compliment again....congrats to Glasgow on making it to the final 4 of a large 7v7 tournament.  That is a great accomplishment and I'm sure a huge confidence booster for those young men.

Now let's triple down on my observation in my original post.  I think it might actually be quadrupling down by now, but I'm not sure.  The top portion of the EKU 7v7 bracket that had CAL's JV team looked a lot easier than the rest.  After double checking, a quick look shows that not one of those teams in that portion of the bracket advanced past the 2nd round of the either the KHSAA or OHSAA tournaments last year.  Of course, I'm aware of that 7v7 has no bearing on future success when real football starts, but it was just one of those things that really stood out to me.  I understand that apparently that ruffled some feathers.  So be it.

Now I do apologize for one thing and that is hijacking the 2026 Glasgow Scotties topic with all of this back-and-forth.  I think we can leave it at I'm not changing my mind or opinion on what I said and neither am I changing any of yours.  Best of luck to Glasgow this season.  It appears they are looking at the potential for back-to-back, undefeated regular seasons, which is a huge accomplishment and this year, a potential deep run into the playoffs.  Here's to wishing for a safe, healthy and successful season for them.

By JV team are you saying freshmen? Because I would think most years their JV team would still beat a lot of the teams in the state. 

Wasn’t it pool play as well? Who was in Glasgow’s pool?

The CAL team that went to EKU consisted of 8 freshmen, 7 sophomores & 3 juniors.  CAL’s backup QB, who is a sophomore, was unavailable, so one of the juniors that went is normally a WR, but played QB on Saturday b/c they didn’t have one.  that's the only reason why he went.  CAL’s JV would be competitive with about 1/4 to maybe 1/3 of the teams in the state.  The other teams would handle them.

Bullitt East, Madison Central, Oldham County.

I think that would be a bit concerning if they would only be competitive with 25% of the teams in the state because in a year or two these kids are going to be the team and I can’t see these kids going from competitive with 25% of the teams to dominating the way they have. Just my thoughts.

Does Glasgow just have the one scrimmage against Logan Co? I have seen another listed anywhere.

Confirmed:

Glasgow will open the season next year with Bowling Green in the Rafferty’s Bowl.

Unconfirmed:

They are trying to play Boyle as well.

Love it.
