23 million streamed the game. This definitely won’t be the last time the NFL does this.

Horrible shot down 1 at the end. Attack the basket.

Likely not much of an issue with that crowd. There are more people up there on the weekend for the Hustle league games and flag football games.

I've seen these interviews too. Coaches are looking at the portal first for players and high school second. Your 5 star high school players are still going to get recruited right out of high school, but colleges are now taking transfer players over 4 star and lower high school players. They're recommending high school players to start looking at the JUCO route along with smaller colleges to get on the field early and prove themselves, and then transfer over to top tier college programs. And as a parent that just navigated these waters with a child in another sport, the transfer portal has changed everything. One week, "we want you, we're working on the offer to have in your hands next week." The next week, "we have a junior transfer coming in, so we no longer have the scholarship to offer." The process is more brutal today than it was in the past.

The only kids having 5 to 7 collisions a game are those that are only playing 5 to 7 plays a game. The linemen are banging heads every single play. The running backs are taking a pounding every time they touch the ball. My son, who was moved from qb to rb for his playoffs, would come off the field beat after those 32 minute games compared to his 2 hour practices during the week. I couldn't imagine having him go out there and do the same thing another 3 times in the same weekend. And to say kids are not physical like the older kids is a poor excuse/reason for playing in these tournaments, sorry. Of course the younger kids don't hit as hard as the older kids, but it's all relative to their size.

BW looked like they got hosed with a quick whistle on their last drive that led to a turnover on downs.

2. A group of parents was told about this during a regular season game. Instead of complying, I was told by a Highlands fan that they went out and bought more for the playoffs. It was only a matter of time before they were called out for it.

This is stupid. 0 adjustments defensively by Dixie.

I've never seen so many people on this site get worked up over a team's stats without fans from the team in question bragging about said stats on the site. I don't think I've seen a single Dixie supporter on here pounding their chest like others do and have done, at least not this year. As for the stats, if I'm not mistaken, Dixie uses Hudl Assist to breakdown stats for basketball, soccer, and football (possibly more sports). I don't know who else uses it, but maybe it's just the way Hudl breaks down the film? As for the game itself, I'm just hoping it's closer than the last time around.

I don't believe eliminating open enrollment was on the table, but they tried to redraw the district lines in Independence for Scott and SK. They tried moving some subdivisions from SK to Scott, and parents in those subdivisions were not having it. Therefore, the district dropped it.

Just saw the highlights. The black uniforms, why???? I’ve always liked the simplicity of their red and white.

Game was tied 14-14. Dixie will move on to Highlands next week.

60-14 after a scoop and score

53-14 This game was tied 14-14.

It’s that time of year when these weekend youth tournaments start popping up, and every year I shake my head. Why are these a thing? And why are parents putting their kids in this? 3 to 4 games over a 2 day period is just stupid IMO. My son feels it after one game, I couldn’t imagine him having to play 3 more in a 36 hour period.

Good to hear. I heard he injured his shoulder again and was done.

Defensive stats for total rushing and passing yards definitely aren't correct. They're not even close. I went to each team's page and looked at their stats for passing yards against Dixie. It totaled up to 1979, not the 1033 listed.

I believe Mwamba (#5) is the fastest Dixie player.

Bored at work, so throwing out some numbers. Dixie gives up 198 yards per game in the air. Take away the BW and Ryle games, which were brutal, and they're down to 142 per game. BW's speed at the receiver spot is unmatched. In the Ryle game, Dixie just looked like they were going through the motions. The most missed tackles I've seen all year. They just looked lethargic. With Dixie's style, those DBs are left on an island all night long. Gregg as a sophomore had a 65% completion percentage. They had a lot more quick passes with the type of offense they ran last year. This year, he's down to 57%. As mentioned, he doesn't seem as confident throwing the ball down the field this year. As for Fields, I haven't seen him play other than the Ryle game. Therefore, I cannot say if I think they'd be better served with Fields at QB and Gregg at RB.

That is correct.

This year's offense definitely isn't gimmicky. They get to the line quickly and then wait for the play. Sometimes it takes way too long for that play to get in as it doesn't match the formation they're in. Sometimes it makes you wish for last year's offense. LOL. When they run, they're going to run at you between the tackles. There's no motion, no reverses, no counters, no sweeps, just pound it right at you. The route running is very basic. Mwamba or Beach are going to run go or post routes. Everyone else is going to run short to intermediate routes. Defensively, they're going to sell out 95% of the time leaving their DBs in 1-on-1 coverage. They have two solid high school corners in Mwamba and Beach that they're willing to take their chances with. Brzygot is the 3rd corner that is young but has improved as the season has gone along. As for the QB, Gregg is a solid high school QB. IMO, his biggest issue this year seems to be his confidence passing the ball. It's almost as though he's scared to over throw his receivers. He has the arm for that not to occur 90% of the time. I don't know if that is the pressure coaches are putting on him or just something he's putting on himself. He needs to just cut it loose and let it fly.

Those were part of the next phase as they were never scheduled to be done for this season based on a conversation I had with someone from Newport a month ago.

Isn’t he done for the year?

33-13 end of 3. Time to put in the JV squads and leave this game healthy.

33-13 Ryle. 7:29 left in the 3rd
