Western/Mercer Scrimmage

[FOOTBALL PRIDE]

Any results?

 

Heard Both teams looked sharp, with big numbers?

For the 1st scrimmage of the year, for both teams, I thought they both looked very sharp. Western has an unbelievable amount of talent, as much speed as anybody in the state, very well coached and if anybody out there doesnt think that they won't have something to say about determining the 4A State Championship, then think again! Both teams went 20 and 20 (20 offense, 20 defense..10 play intervals, then switched). Western got the nod 2-1, I believe?! Neither team got in the wishbone, Mercer did one play, they both just experimented with other things. The kids from both sides played with emotion and had a great amount of respect for the other at the end. For the 30 minutes they(Mercer and Western) went at it, they did just that, they got after it. Good luck to both!

It would be nice for these two powerhouse clubs to bring state titles home in the same season.(mercer again). They are coached just alike, same coaching family.

 

Who are the backs for Western, i hear through the grapevine that they are gonna have All State backs for the 5th year in a row.

If both of these public schools did well it would be very good for football in KY.

I wouldn't be surprised one bit if Western doesn't have another All-State back. They have all the talent in the world, but keep in mind, that talent is young. As for Mercer, the same type of thing, young, but more inexperienced than anything. Mercer has a Junior class of about 30, but last years '06 Senior class consisted of 24 seniors, so this Junior class has had to wait their turn, so-to-speak; especially since they had to play in the shadows of last years bunch of playmakers for the whole season. They are just going to have to go out, get their own feet wet and go from there.

 

Both schools have an untapped group of talent. The thing about these two schools is, that, they should get better each and every week, as will all schools, in every class, to some degree, but this is moreso true for those teams with the youth and inexperience like Western, Mercer and others who fall into this same category.

I hear the mayes kid for Mercer has an injury. I don't recall seeing him play last year but, I hear he is a playmaker.
