Henry County/Oldham County Scrimmage

[oldonetechnique]

Both teams looked good, Oldham of course deeper and more talented then Henry but Henry was able to hold their own. Henry and Oldham both have some things to sure up in coverage and offense!

Oldham County may have more depth, being a 5A school; but, Henry County has the talent! And, Henry is a 3A school to boot!!! I was very proud of our young men from Henry County, with a score of 28 to 27, which would have ended in a tie except for a missed PAT. Henry County is the promising team to watch this season.

I beg to differ on the score. Oldham County scored 5 touchdowns and gave up 3 total...

[Dark Horse78]

Oldham gave up 4 and scored 4. Announcer actually gave a score of 27-28, but he didnt take into account that Henry scored a 2pt conversion while missing one PAT, 28-28 was the final varsity over 4 quarters. Oldham JV looked good, nice young RB.

The scores reported were correct colonel mike the JV scored a few times on Henry but it was not part of the scrimmage.

Sounds like Henry is off and running. I think they will have a successful year. I hear they have a good set of lineman. Good luck Henry County.

[ColonelMike]

Henry has a very nice program. The coaching staff is excellent, and they are probably one of most underrated teams in the area. They play in a very competitive district, but if they remain healthy - a problem for them last year - they'll do well this year.

 

Yet to be seen how well the Colonels do, but I know Coach Brown was pretty pleased - overall - with the effort. A lot of high expectations in Buckner after last year's 9-3 campaign, and there is some quality returnees, but OC will have some big shoes to fill in the graduated QB Chad Dennis, RB D'ylan Underwood, OL Matt Hogue, and MLB monster Ichiro Chiba, now playing at EKU...

I agree ColonelMike health can be a big problem for a small school.

Not part of scrimmage?

[oldonetechnique]

The JV played at Half time while the varsity got water and hung out in the locker room. So call it what you will.

Not part of scrimmage?

 

I think oldone is saying, not a part of the Varsity scrimmage.

Henry vs. Oldham was a good test for both. Henry will have to play iron man football this year. A lot of kids going both ways. Appeared in decent condition for this early. Cornerbacks will need a lot of reps to get them up to par. Special teams were also a concern. That is all correctable with good practice time. Good luck to the 2009 Fighting Henry County Wildcats, and to the Colonels of Oldham County. Play hard, Play fast, Play the next play! Pike County Central visits New Castle on Friday night. It's football time in the bluegrass again.

70- Will Leonard and Percy make their usual predictions this year??? I live for that stuff!

['ol#70]

I would not be at all surprised if Ol' Leonard Post Toasties and his pal Percy are back again this year. We are in the final stages of significant contract negotiations in order to have him make his always learned and entertaining prediction for the the Cats again this year.
