TOG, Harris plays Varsity. #35 for HHS is Jalen Hayes. He had some huge runs and hits. Yes, it was a competitive game. Great to see!

Why doesn't Dressman play the entire game at QB?

How many sophs do the Birds have that don't play JV due to Varsity...just curious.

JV is about development. They have 2 QBs. They play them both (I think).

Can't be too many. I think the back #45 is a soph. He ran well on Saturday.

Gotcha on the development. I just think this kid is too good of a athlete not to be planted into whatever position he will be a varsity player at so he can focus on that. I've heard QB, TE, WR, DE. Let him do his thing where he can develop into a solid player at whatever position he fits the best w/in the system.

I was just curious. So maybe 1 for the Birds. I know 4 soph Colonels who don't play JV so I was just looking to see the #'s.

I have to think he's catching passes next season.

 

However, you have to have a back up QB and I'm not sure if Dave is ready to name one yet (and he's hoping he doesn't have to).

Who are the 4?

 

Way?

Ober?

Burchell

If Sam Burchell hits some speed training this offseason and picks up some speed he's going to be a beast to deal with. He struggled a bit getting outside. Reminds me of Sam Flynn a bit . He has a chance to be a special player.

Ya, he'll be starting TE from what I've been told. I just wonder if Senior year that will be his position.

I'd be surprised to see him in a tradition TE position. Way too athletic plus you have Hemmer.

Adam Fischer has started every game.

I'd be surprised to see him in a tradition TE position. Way too athletic plus you have Hemmer.

 

I agree, they'll find a role for him....I mean they have to, he is too good of athlete this year just to be the backup punter.
