It was at 9am..a little thing called work kept most away.

Then I suppose a little thing called "something better to do in Orrville" keeps them away on Friday nights.

A second hand report I heard was we looked ok to good on offense and not as good on D, but we were missing Zook. Luke looked good and Summers made some nice catches. Ritchie, Chandler Smith and Elijah were others that played and contributed. I'm sure we have a ways to go but it was better than expected with our experience level.

Not to compare anything to anything but I thought we looked real good at last years scrimmage in Massillon....and we went 1-9.

I heard goods and bads as well in regards to the 7 on 7, but its always funny to hear a parent's perspective compared to a coach's perspective...like apples to oranges. Its July 12 and it was this time last year when we were hearing all these good things....result...1-9!

Had to come back to edit. RR1 beat me to it!

Why were we missing Zook? I hope not because of injury...

Danny Clark. Boy, I don't know. Buckeyes and recruiters nationally are going crazy over him. I saw him play last year. They actually played Wooster's 8th grade. He's 6'3" and has a big arm. He stands out when you see him. But he was also 15 years old playing 13 year olds. What he usually did was lob a ball deep and let his WRs out jump the awful junior high secondary. Don't know how that translates to high school. There's something I inherently don't like about parents posting youtube promotional clips of an 8th grader. Kinda creepy. We'll see if he continues to develop. The kid in the OCC to watch out for is the one from Madison. He'll be playing varsity as a freshman. They're a crap football team with a young Terrelle Pryor at QB. I've not seen a game where he's had fewer than 5 TDs. And he scores by every means imaginable..punt returns, INT's, QB draws. He's scary big and fast.

Madison crap football team??? I thought they were supposed to be pretty good again this season? And with a QB like that, sounds like they will be pretty darn good.

Good I don't want to hear any injuries this kid deserves to have a healthy year...

Totally agree. There's one like that at every school..yes even Orrville.

Nothing like putting a bullseye on your 8th grade sons chest right before entering high school.

The 9th grader at Madison probably won't start qb as a freshman . For one he has a broken ankle right now . Second Mitch Kelly is every bit as fast as him and has experience . Now he might see him at wide reciever or db this year if he recovers well. But you dead on he scored in every way possible last year. His team wasn't that good he did everything for them . Now he will start in basketball this season he is rated the second best guard in ohio for his class

Please tell me you aren't serious, a Orrville kid? If a parent puts their kid on utube or scouting Ohio in 7th or 8th grade, their kid should get the first week of full pads off and the dad or mom that posted should have to come in their place and get shedded every day that week, I feel for that kid. I know we talk about parent glasses on this site but that is to the extreme.

It is true, I have seen the video REDRIDER555!

I was told that there is a grand total of 28 kids out for the team.

Thank god it only takes 11 to play

Wow! 28 kids...Does this include Freshman?

I saw in the repository today that Orrville and northwest have applied for PAC membership.

SAD!!! What the heck is going on?? Is it the parents not wanting their kids to play? Is it kids being weak and not wanting to get hurt and/or have to work hard? I just dont get it...what the hell is going on???
