Who wins?

GRC has another scrimmage the 17th against Woodford Co. The GRC vs MC game is the 25th. Baring no injuries...I feel that GRC should win this game even though it is played at MC. MC showed great imporvements last year with their new coach....should see the same this year. This is a huge rival game....sure both teams will be up for this one....and the fans.

How did GRC look in its first scrimmage?

The Cards looked very solid in their first scrimmage. Many highlighted areas. The offensive line looked very good, and gave Mason plenty of time to throw the ball. He had scoring strikes to #10 Clark, #38 Hardiman and #20 Thomas. He looked very good but still needs to look to the #2 & #3 recievers when the primary is covered. Running game was solid Clark Co running.

 

Defense is still working on gelling, and is forming. #79 Fox did a great job on a very tough Whitley Co offensive line. They have tremendous speed in the secondary, and their D-line looked great. The linebackers will need to keep working to come up to speed.

 

I think they did very well against a solid Whitley co team.

How many times did WC score in the scrimmage? any other scrimmage highlights/lowlights?

Whitley Co scored at least 4 times. (I think 5 but I am not positive). Most were impressive runs, and one wide-open pass reception. I am sorry I can't give you player #'s. (They were wearing practice jerseys).

 

I was impressed with WC running offense. Alot of the back had strong runs, and great second effort when hit. I am not sure what type of backfield setup they had, but it did give GRC some fits until they got adjusted.

 

Highlights were also a great showing and effort by the JV and Freshman teams. They really hustled in the heat, and played with heart. (both teams).

Montgomery can use this came as a stepping stone of progress. I think it is a statement game for them and they will pull out a close one.

I see it being a closer game than alot of people might think but I can't see GRC losing this one. Looking at GRC's schedule this appears to be 1 of the few "easier" games this season. Not taking anything away from MC but GRC plays Tates Creek, Danville, Madison Central, Henry Clay,Scott Co and also Southwestern who always seems to give GRC fits. Rouding out the schedule they have Harrison Co, Shelby Co, and North Laurel.
