Razor Posted August 14, 2012 Report Posted August 14, 2012 Genius, nobody "wins" a scrimmage...it is a glorified practice against someone other than yourself...I there was a winner, then it would be on the regular game schedule
jkbtjc53 Posted August 14, 2012 Author Report Posted August 14, 2012 WO-S doesnt do controlled scrimmages, They do game like scrimmages were the score is kept, only thing different is they dont do live kick-offs and punt returns.. And even if it was controlled fans and coaches still keep score! Only fans and or coaches of a losing/un-successful program say things like "hey guys its just a scrimmage there isnt a score" Last year in the Vidor Scrimmage WO-S won with a last second field goal. Vidor was keeping the score and the time on the scoreboard

Not win or lose.
Razor Posted August 14, 2012 Report Posted August 14, 2012 I assure you that if it were a real game, it would be played differently than it will this Friday...scrimmages are used by coaches to evaluate players and look at different situations...score can kept or not, but to me it has little relevance since the entire playbook is not used and many substitution patterns are used that will not be in regular season games.
Gtj007 Posted August 14, 2012 Report Posted August 14, 2012 What if neither 1st string teams score? And Nederlands 2nds scores twice to WOS 0, does that mean Nederland "wins" the scrimmage???
WOSgrad Posted August 14, 2012 Report Posted August 14, 2012 There are no wins or losses in a scrimmage. They are merely practices where the person you hit does not wear the same colors that you do.
liltex Posted August 14, 2012 Report Posted August 14, 2012 Scrimmage=. practice to polish your skills against another .Hopefully find some diamonds in the rough in gm type situations & find out who your real team leaders are.Field position doesn't come into play ;) 8)
Mr. Buddy Garrity Posted August 15, 2012 Report Posted August 15, 2012 I just hope they leave the bands & cheerleaders at home and dont make t-shirts about the scrimmage. ;)

Come on guys..Also for the 2nd string comment WO-S has only if i counted correctly 25 kids who will have silver helmets, So really and truly WO-S doesnt have a second string and they havent had a true second string in years if you look at all of their games since last year the starters stay in the entire game..

Gtj007 Posted August 15, 2012 Report Posted August 15, 2012 So then how can you determine a "winner" if Nederland plays their backups half of the time and WOS leaves the starters in the entire time?

It's just a practice against another team
OrangeFBfan Posted August 15, 2012 Report Posted August 15, 2012 Someone please post pics of the scrimmage. Thanks!
Puma42 Posted August 15, 2012 Report Posted August 15, 2012 I hear this scrimmage is so important that it is being aired on ESPN. :o :o :oSeriously though, this is a joke. High school scrimmages are the equivalent to NFL preseason games. A score might be kept, but who the heck cares about the final score? Scrimmages do have relevance in that they are a great coaching tool, nothing more. Getting starters some reps, evaluating back ups and depth, maybe experimenting with new packages or plays. The result of the game carries no weight. Like they say on Monday Night Football, "C'MON MAN!!"
griff Posted August 15, 2012 Report Posted August 15, 2012 Concerning the second stringers comments...WO-S does have second and third string teams. Having 30 or less players doesn't change that. They have some players not in silver helmets who will be evaluated on the varsity level. Plus, they have players who will play in positions they normally do not play in order to grade them, as well. To the coaches for both teams, this is all about grading their teams progress and individual players. Nothing more, nothing less. I know for a fact that is true for Coach Thompson. No game planning or Friday night strategy will be involved. Therefore, any "score" will not matter at all. A few comments on here make too big of a deal about this scrimmage. When I think of scrimmages, I'm reminded of the 2000 season when Lumberton got the better of WO-S in the first scrimmage of the year. It was a wake up call for the Mustangs. If the two teams had played in the regular season, WO-S would have manhandled the Raiders. But the scrimmage did what it is supposed to. It motivated the players and helped the coaches evaluate the team's progress and what needed to improve.
