The Dixie Colonels won their fifth consecutive game tonight. A slow start letting Cooper score first. After they figured out that the jags were their to win they woke up. Still undefeated though. Big game by Ben Owens and backup QB Luke Caple. Defense also stepped it up. If not for three TD's negated by penalties Dixie may have piled it on. Backups did a good job in the fourth not allowing any pts.

Dixie sounds like the favorite to win it all.

Sure hope so. For al the crap they've endured for not having a hundred boys on the sideline, they play as a team. The next couple of years at dixie should be fun.

I bet most Frosh teams only play 14 or 15 players so I don't think the numbers mean too much if you have quality.

What happened to the starting QB?

I'd say closer to 17-20 if you have good coaches who can coach kids up even a modest amount. But why split hairs, ya know? But no, there is not consistently 20 or more guys playing regularly on these 5-6 A schools frosh teams, as opposed to most of their varsity programs. Jr. high, or High School or even JV

Problem is, we've seen this scenario before at DHHS. Freshman have great teams then it's on to mediocrity at the varsity level.

The starting qb sat first half. Discipline. There is some depth at most positions. I just think teams can't isolate their studs like they want. As forthe mediocre varsity squad, well many of us hope that there are changes made this off season.

Great to hear Luke Caple got some snaps at QB...he is a kid that has great composure and a great work ethic. This will payoff for this young man! Keep battling Cape!

Have heard the above for years as well. I really hate to note what I did. I was a HUGE Dixie supporter for a very long time while both my children attended and even before. I was even in the present head varsity coach's corner when it seemed like no one else was at the time. I know the coach is a fine man, I just think that....maybe....his heart isn't in it as much. You can talk about talent all you want, and Dixie has had plenty, but it just seems that they're not getting "pushed" to be the best they can be.
