Did Bruns play basketball last year? I'm having a hard time picturing him.

 

Anyone remember his number last season?

Isn't that a little late for starting the season? Most teams start the last day or so of November or that first week of December. (1st-4th)

 

Gives the footballers a full week to rest/get back in the gym after they win state.

Not sure but he was primarily a JV player.

Intrasquad scrimmages are this Saturday and next then its onto the SK scrimmage on the 20th. They go down to North Laurel for a scrimmage on the night before Thanksgiving for their final one before opening the season on Dec 10th against St. Henry at home.

 

 

Who played in the intrasquad scrimmage? By my count of the names listed above, there are less than 10 non-footballers on the team.

JW will nice this year and therefore so will HH. Good luck

Who is JW? Just curious.

Maybe he means JW Stewart?????

The Bird Frosh will also scrimmage tomorrow night vs the SK JV team in the old GYM at the same time the Varsity play.

How did the birds look in the scrimmage vs SK? Is it true the frosh are making a road trip the night before Thanksgiving?

SK beat Highlands!

SK beat Highlands!

 

Yes they did win the scrimmage but keep in mind Highlands had no Jack Stewart, no Pat Towles as well as 4 other kids still playing football which SK will no longer be doing. I know SK didn't have Chambers but wasn't very impressed with them at this stage. Birds played 3 of the 4 qtrs very well and didn't play well in the 2nd.

He has to try and hang his hat on something now that his beloved football team is out of contention. Is it true that the Birds only have 10 players at practice for both the JV and Varsity? How many football players are expected to join the team? I have heard various rumors that Towles, Bruns and/or New were not going to try out. If that happens it will be a long year in Bird land and may just be a sign of things to come in the future. Something needs to be done to keep the multi-sport athletes coming out for the basketball team. I know they have Dean and Lewis from the soccer team and True so far for the football team. Any others?

SK was missing at least 5 players as well.

Highlands scrimmaged North laurel today. I understand they won the first half 37-36 and North Laurel took the 2nd half by 3 pts. Tough shooting day for the Birds but Ryan Egan poured in 20 pts for the Birds who were still without Jack Stewart's services. Next up for the Birds is the season opener vs St. Henry. I dont think the Cru will have any answers for 6'7 Stewart and 6'5 Frosh newcomer Nick True down low on the block.
