It was just a scrimmage. It is a practice but against another team. A scrimmage is to let you work on positions, try people out, gain experience for newcomers, find what may be working (at least that week) and what isn't, find weaknesses, etc. Dayton's world isn't ending and Nederland pointed out some things they need to improve. Nederland's isn't guaranteed anything in district based on a scrimmage. It is what it is. Nederland looked good and Dayton did not.  Both teams gained some experience and that after all, is what a scrimmage is for. Anything more than that is like saying a team should be in the playoffs because they had a great practice this week. The only thing that counts is when district cranks up a few weeks from now and this scrimmage will have long since gone into the history of meaningless endeavors.

[quote name="Scalped 'em" post="1426653" timestamp="1377298287"] Just read the rundown on Texas City in this years Dave Campbell's....yikes! [/quote] Yep. I think that TC might point out some weaknesses to work on that HF was not able to do last week. Therein lies the purpose of a scrimmage. Find the weaknesses now and in the non-district games and get the youngsters some experience. Barring any major injuries, PNG will probably benefit a good bit from this practice.

[quote name="outanup" post="1424037" timestamp="1376449364"] IMO a quitter is a quitter.....As coach used to say "Where was he (the quitter)when the sweat was running down the crack of your a&&"  I guess there may be some circumstances that would allow a second chance? How fair is it to the TEAM if everyone gets a pass? [/quote] Are you talking about a kid that quits the week before two a days but wants to return for the first scrimmage (after the hardest work) or are you talking about a kid that quits after the season because he has a change of plans such as concentrating on another sport but it doesn't work out and he wants to rejoin the team the next year? If a person simply quits because he doesn't want to work, I would not have him back on my team. Why even worry about punishment? If he quit to work hard on another sport and that doesn't work out, does it matter?

Very good interview. It was better than some of the standard canned answers in my opinion. I liked what he said about making mistakes at full speed and when the coach gets on that butt, the answer should be "Yessir!" and not make any excuses.

[quote name="aschom78" post="1423666" timestamp="1376340363"] I'll just say this. If the players aren't going out there to "Win" then what is the point of having a scrimmage? Practice hard play hard, practice soft play soft. [/quote] They should go out to play hard and pick up some experience. Does someone win a practice?

Why punish someone for changing his mind on which sport(s) he wants to concentrate on? Either let him play or if it will adversely alter the team keep him off. Allowing a player to return but having to prove himself or pay some kind of penance seems silly.

[quote name="Jackthehammer" post="1421639" timestamp="1375753983"] Based on your thoughts looks like Nederland would be heavily favored to win it all [/quote] I think three straight championships is tough no matter who you are. They are probably heavily favored to be in the top four and make the playoffs.

Some people surely put too much emphasis on rankings, at least as far as high school. You can read entire threads or posts on here once the season gets cranked up from people that really seem to get upset at who is ranked above who. It is nothing but a tool for discussion. That is especially true when our playoff system includes every team. You can be an unranked 4th place team in your district and have a shot at the championship game. If everyone agreed with rankings, there would be no need for rankings. That is not true in college football where you have to be ranked to get to the big dance.

There has to be a one hour wait after the game ends before it can be aired.

[/quote] It will be no different than when 4A was the largest district. Back then (at least up into the 1980's) the smallest schools were Class B. To make everyone feel appreciated (early political correctness), sometime in the early '80's  they made all 11 man teams "A" divisions. B went to 1A, 1A went to 2A, etc., with 4A moving to 5A. (Somewhere in there for a few years they had 8 man ball that was eliminated) Now they continue by naming even 6 man teams an "A" school. So the divisions are no different than they were in the 1960's with divisions back then called Six Man - 4A. Now the same divisions will be called 1A-6A.
