Madisonville had another pretty good night. They were up 28-6 in the blink of an eye it appeared. Any other thoughts on this one?

The Maroons looked very good in the first half on both sides of the ball. Union had one big run in the half and nothing else. The second half was played with a 20 minute running clock. The Maroons had 3 turnovers during that period of time, 2 int's and a fumble. One of the int's was from inside Union's 10 yard line into the end-zone. Other than not taking care of the ball in the 2nd half Madisonville's kick-off coverage needs some serious work. Union looked bigger and faster than I expected and looked to even have more kids out than usual, they should improve throughout the season.

Did the Nelson kid play for Madisonville? It's good to see Union's numbers back up. If they could get all of their athletes to play football, they would be a solid program every year.

He's starting and took most of the snaps for the varsity (60-40). He's also playing safety on defense, which tells me Coach Weaver has a lot of faith in the young man (backup QB) that transfered in from Fort Campbell. I don't imagine Coach Weaver will hesitate going to him if Nelson struggles.

Who transferred in from Fort Campbell?

The Levin kid. He backed up Croft last year throwing for around 450 yards in 2 1/2 games. He is a good one.

No kidding. Good pickup by the Maroons.

Yes it is, there is a healthy QB battle going on in Madisonville. Weaver has the team looking pretty good, if the srimmages are any indications of things to come. Look for the Maroons to suprise some people.
