I am really surprised that no one has mentioned this high profile scrimmage as yet. The 6A #3 Crimsons will tackle the 5A #1 Purples at Bowling Green this Friday, August 12 in a 6:00 P.M. (Central Daylight Time) preseason scrimmage. I know Manual returns some excellent players from last years squad who have turned a lot of heads at various camps this season. Who, besides OL/DL Manly, will be standouts for Bowling Green in this contest? Who will emerge victorious? I am going to give a small edge to Bowling Green since the scrimmage will occur on their home turf.

I think that this has the makings of an outstanding scrimmage. BGHS returns seven on offense and nine on defense. DB Michael Bailey and LB KJ Cofer are both fourth year starters. Bailey does just about anything on defense, including catching runners for losses and sacking QBs. Mrs PH and I are hoping that the Ram family will be there in force...we really like those fellows!
