In the vindy paper they had champion and struthers @southern local and columbiana struthers @indian creek then @big red. Hopefully one of them are home but its not lookin very bright.

Scrimmage tomorrow morning. I won't be able to make it. Are you going Spread?

Neither spread or myself will attend. Just gonna have to go with he said she said until week 1 most likely

Alrighty.

Why are all the scrimmages out in BFE this year?

You're right. I can always count on heresay from the IC and Steubenville guys. I'll likely get word from some of the guys on the team after the scrimmages too.

Ya all far away this year which could help them by not many ppl knowing what they have until week 1.... But yeah ill get the scoop tonight on what went down.

What happened today?

The Vindicator said Southern and Champion at 11 AM... I guess they scrimmaged a PA team at 4 PM. At least they were close. lol

Were they even allowed to hit? How'd they look? Has anyone heard anything?

They scrimmaged Union yesterday and scored 7 times on offense and shut them down on D one touchdown went on a deep fade route to duchek for 70+ yards.

Very nice. Very very nice.

Is Union a quality team? Who would you compare them too around here?

Haqvent heard much about them. But i heard that they would be a team around the likes of a champion

I heard that yesterday was Union's 2nd day of practice, and that this was more like a practice instead of a scrimmage. I was told that Union only had helmets and shoulder pads and that obviously, there wasn't any tackling. Is this true?

There was tackling and they went the normal 10 plays O then D..... No clue if it was their second practice thats kinda bad if you only practice 2 days this late.

I heard that Columbiana backed out of the scrimmage this Saturday at Creek for fear of injuries. Apparently they don't have very many kids on the team and are afraid of losing some to injury before the season starts. Not sure if this is true, but that's what I heard.

I just asked my son and he said all he knows is they are scrimmaging Struthers and some other team.... he is Pumped to scrimmage Struthers. He is the Full back.... Its funny that Struthers Has to Travel to both Scrimmages and that there both in Jefferson County and less the 3 miles apart. I mean i knew Big Red would never leave there home to scrimmage anyone cause they dont leave home but 1 or 2 times a year... They get a contract to play someone that will agree to play at Big Red. And some teams will play both contract years at Big Red. but most times its a one year contract. that is why Big Red plays these team out of state. Nobody wants to always lay at Big red... But if i could get every game at home i would do it too. But man they are greedy!! lol....

Pretty sure they come to youngstown this year to get pounded by Ursuline again.

Yes they do! They don't have much of a choice.. Ursuline is not going to just play both games at Steubenville! And i have to say it will be a battle. but i don't see a blow out by either side. that will be the game of the season!!! I'm not a Ursuline fan by a long shot. But i will be that week.

Yeah. I know PA starts a week after Ohio, but Union only having two practices under their belt could skew the 7-0 score a little bit.

Maybe exclipper just meant that it may have been Union's second day of hitting and practice in pads, not their second practice overall.

Struthers was only hitting for 2 days with pads also whats your point?

Don't want to cause trouble but I called a friend who coaches in PA and was told they can't have hitting scrimmages until the 20th. He told me to check the WPIAL website if I didn't believe him. He was correct. If fact their first day of practice is the 15th. I don't know what went on in Struthers yesterday but if they truly scrimmaged the Union coach has a lot of guts!

edit

Also it was in Union not Struthers haha.....Not going to take anything from it anyways.... Union isn't a team you want to brag about beating up on.

Judging by the photos from the Hometown Journal, looks like the scrimmage was in Struthers. Union was NOT in full equipment, but Struthers was. Union wore shoulder pads & helmets, but had shorts on. Looks like the linemen from Union were using arm pads.

Judging from the photos, the scrimmage was in Struthers. Union players were in shorts, shoulder pads & helmets and the Union linemen were using the big arm pads. So clearly it wasn't full hitting.
