This scrimmage lasted 3 quarters. The score was Bath 22, Rowan 6 after the first two quarters. Any thoughts?

Rowan co. is improved from last season. Bath will miss Clemmons and at best will finish 2nd in their district. I did loose a lot of respect for both head coaches. It was only a scrimmage game. They should have played some of their other players and used the game as a learning experience. They were to worried about their ego and winning a game that did not matter.

I've never known any EKC coach to play the grid as though it "did not matter".

A win is a win. If ur up by maybe three touchdowns, then put the second string in. You still win and lose in a scrimmage and it still counts.

I do not agree. Scrimmage games are for learning purposes and do not count. Bath was up 22-6 with seconds remaining in the half, but still had their first team offense in trying to score. And Bath was going to start the second half with the first possession. Just no class from their head coach.

2nd Quarter up two scores - and still trying to score? What was this coach thinking? What was he teaching these kids?

Please...scrimmages are glorified practice. Sure, game type situation, but so in preseason in the NFL. Preseason doesn't count nor does it mean anything in regards to the finished product. Coaches have to use scrimmages wisely....good luck to Rowan and Bath...

 

Let hear more about the teams and players....

 

What are their strengths and weaknesses?

The Rowan County team is pretty young, most of the players are freshmen and sophmores and all of the players are learning a new system under a new head coach. Right now they only have just over 40 players on the team. I think that three freshman did see playing time and will likely see more based on their performance in the varsity arena. I think we see will improvements as the season progresses.

They made some good ajustments after 2 quarters of play to come out and score a TD and conversion, while the defense held Bath scoreless in the third and last quarter.

Their first game on Friday will be at Morgan County where we should see them improving now that the coaching staff has seen them play in a game situation and can make appropiate ajustments in their play.

I think Ashby Boyd or whatever his name is (I have heard Aaron Ashby and Aaron Ashby-Boyd) will make up nicely for Clemmons

Rowan is extremely young but based on what I coached against with them in middle school their freshman and sophomore classes should be very talented. This will be a rough year most likely but Rowan should be a lot better the next two seasons. Bath lost a lot with Clemons last year but return most of their starters and should be decent but I still think 3rd is the best they'll do in their district behind Prestonburg and Shelby Valley. Bath's freshman and sophomore classes are fairly week so they need to have a decent year this year.
