The Bruins roll into Mt Washington tonight for their annual scrimmage with The Chargers. The Chargers are coming off a controlled/live scrimmage against Madison Central that saw the Chargers D struggle handling the Flexbone that MC has gotten pretty efficient with. The offense was fine without their QB1 so that was a plus. Really don’t know much about what Ballard brings this season but I will try to update tonight. I believe the BE qb is out again tonight so the O will be led by a Soph and Frosh QB but both are pretty good. Will update as I can.

After trading 3 and outs BE goes on about a 65 yard drive to score. XP, which was not live, is good.

BE 7

Ballard 0.

6:00 1st.

The other post didn’t post for some reason. That was probably 45 min ago. Anyway, BE has driven the ball to the red zone 4 times. That has resulted in 2 TD’s a made FG and a wide left missed FG.

East leads 17-0 at the half.

Neither team is showing a ton but Ballard has struggled to move the ball. The Bruins probably have maybe 3 or 4 first downs.

For East they have had success running and throwing the ball with both QB2, a sophomore, and QB 3, a freshman, playing well and both completing a TD pass.

East takes it inside the 10 but fumbles. Ballard gets a couple of first downs on nice runs then is forced to punt. East then connects on a 40-45 yard pass play for a TD. Now 24-0 East. 5 min left in varsity portion.

When was the last time Ballard was good offensively? Seems like that’s an issue year after year.

Qb play was down by touch. Would think they would run him more if not that way. Pass game is not great but run game will be better than what showed last night.

BEast sophomore QB is my nephew. He's getting a lot of attention, attending camps all over the region. Glad to see he had a good showing. Wish my brother would put him in Trinity though. 😉

What was the final score for the first teams?

East 24

Ballard 0

Ballard only had about 5 or 6 first downs and best I remember only took the ball to the 30 or so of the Chargers maybe twice.

I heard Ballard has a disciplinary issue. They jumped off sides quite a bit?
