Sorry for the double post. Im posting from my cellphone. 4-0 Birds now.

Who has scored the TDs for HHS? PS Thanks for the updates!

When I left it ended up 6 touchdowns to 0 Highlands.

 

I will say in the 10 on 10 format Beechwood moved the ball well but ran out of downs both times in the red zone.

 

I thought Daniels looked multi-talented at QB and Beechwood is a strong 1A title contender.

 

I will let the HHS powers that be fill everyone in on who scored what.

I will do the same.

 

Also, I don't know about the last two TD's, but the 3rd and 4th TD (I believe) were scored in a "4 down" format. We left after the 4th TD.

 

 

Guru - Looked for you; but you must have been incognito.

The last four touchdowns Highlands scored were in the "second half" and were game format. Highlands dominated the game format portion of the scrimmage.

 

BF, I sat with leatherneck for most of the scrimmage and the CovCath coaching staff for about the last half hour.

Saw Tom Spritzky and a lot of Dixie fans, too!

How did Tony G look throwing the ball tonight???

My guess is that the Team from Ft. Thomas along with a host of other coaching staffs will be at CovCath on Saturday morning watching the CovCath vs. Ryle scrimmage. :lol:

Sounds like the Birds D is on schedule!

I guess we will have to wait for Leatherneck to wake up to get the full scoop.

 

Curious to know these things.

 

1. Was Mainello a force?

2. How did Nico Teipel do vs. the Stingy Highlands Defense?

3. How did Roller and Collinsworth do on Defense?

4. Is the Highlands offensive line making progress?

5. Any surprising players for both teams who may have not been mentioned so far this season?

I found this on NKY.com Ryan Ernst's blog.

Birds looked pretty good. I was pleased with our run blocking, particularly in light of the fact we started 3 juniors and a senior in the interior that had very little varsity experience last year (mop up duty only). Knowing the Tigers always play great run defense, I thought we did a pretty good job. Beechwood blitzed a lot and for the most part we did a good job picking them up. But there is certainly work that needs to be done. I saw some things that must be improved, but I'll keep those to myself.

 

Mainello looks thinner than last year. Great frame. I didn't see him do much however last night. Then again, he was going both ways against quality players on both sides of the ball. That won't be the case once the regular season begins I suspect.

 

Teipel is another great athlete. Hits hard on defense and runs the ball pretty well.

 

I like Daniels at qb. Had a couple of nice passes and runs the ball well. Looks like a leader.

 

Roller played well at lber and at tight end. Collinsworth had a couple of nice catches. I don't recall him challenged when he was at corner.

 

Crawford, as Ryan pointed out in his blog, looked good running the ball. Very nice change of pace. Conner is well, simply Conner. Ran the ball well. Guidugli started out throwing the ball high. I assume jitters. He settled down nicely. There were a couple of overthrown long passes that I know he'd like to have back, but they are taught that if you are going to be off target, have it be too deep and not too short where it can be intercepted. Buten had a nice TD reception.

 

D played okay. At times our run D looked a little soft, but that may have had to do with all the substitutions going on. Not having Rosenhagen out there (nursing a minor injury; not a big concern) I'm sure had an effect on our run defense. Kid is a stud. We have to improve our run defense before CovCath.

 

Tigers will be very fine this year. As Ryan pointed out, unless its CovCath, they won't play anyone as good as they did last night. I like the thinner, quicker version of the Tigers' linemen.

 

All in all, I was pleased.

Thanks Henry for the post. I couldn't watch much of the scrimmage as I was sitting to Ru most of it and all he wants to do is talk, talk, talk. :D. By the way, the Ru's son (a 6th grader I believe) is going to be a stud football player by the time he gets to high school. Good luck this morning with your game young man. I think he said he gets his athletic ability from his Mom. LOL!

Tony G throws a beautiful deep ball. The mid-range is/was his problem last night. He's a strong runner which will help.

 

I'll assume #62 was a Schlosser.

 

HHS has a typical HHS o-line. Some with size. Others that look like db's playing o-line. I swear the kid that started at RT could play corner or receiver.

 

Bad tackling by BW. I know HHS runs hard but still.

 

Daniels looked solid - not a great passer but will crush kids running the ball.

 

I thought the most pure-looking passer of the entire evening was the kid wearing #9 for BW. Who is he?

 

Collinsworth will put up big stats this year offensively. He was open for a TD on the first drive but TG didn't see him. He runs nice routes - shocker.

 

HHS isn't very big but they run very well -another shocker.

 

Maniello did OK. He didn't dominate by any means but of course he had to go both ways.

 

Great crowd for a scrimmage.

#9 for Beechwood is sophmore Michael Colosimo.
