Just wondering how the first scrimmages have gone, or are projected to go? Commerce and Adair squared off tonight. I wasn’t able to attend so I don’t yet know how things went.
Hoping your teams are excited to get back to football! I’m so glad it’s back.

I assume most of the scrimmages are tonight, but I had several family members watch the Ringling vs Kingston scrimmage last night. Basically, it sounded like it was pretty lopsided with Ringling running and passing at will on the Redskins. I know Kingston lost a great deal from last year so they are trying to replace a lot of positions. But from most people that I have seen or talked to Ringling is going to be better this year than the last two years. Overall speed on both sides of the ball is scary and they can and will be very balanced with throwing and running. They did not obviously show much last night but had multiple big plays passing and running. They are very big up front and sounds like they will be a handful and tough to beat this year in class A. They open next Friday with Atoka and then Dickson which are both higher in class, but I would expect two wins by several td's coming out of the gate. I am anxious to hear about Elmore and their scrimmage if anyone watches or know who they have.

Balanced you say? Funny cause last year someone mentioned something about the QB and WRs didn't do much in a playoff game against Texhoma in the 2nd half

I hear ya hunter..this year looks to be shaping up much different with some new sets, formations, and plays that will allow him to much more show his passing skills, spread the field, and allow for some huge running lanes. I just think last year being a soph and late edition to the team with no time to learn the offence that well, Koons just went mostly with what they usually do and know with smashmouth ball. But now with a year under his belt in Koons system I think it will surprise alot of folks. They have a lot of talent back in the RB's and WR, TE group..seems to be a pick your poison situation which I'm sure Koons will exploit... that number 17 is back and an absolute monster to handle and he is fast. I could see them using him all over the place...RB, TE, WR, and of course he looks to be the stud in the middle on defense at 6 '3 235... I think Elmore will be the biggest game in the district. I'm anxious to see what they do and have with all the move-ins...should be a fun year. Of course neither team can sleep on or make huge mistakes like turnovers, cause Wayne, Dibble, Rush or any of them as we know on any given night could get upset if they do not take care of business. I think Ring and El. actually play the last game of the year so both should be undefeated barring some major upset.

Coons is doing a great job of training for speed from what I have seen. They have always been big and physical, but if he continues to hone the speed training, look for continued and better success.

Love is God's grace made actionable. I pray for a complete season for as many of our kids as possible.

Plus he is the track coach and has them out for track in the spring too.

Wayne is another good team in that district but my thing on them, It seems Mullins is the only one who gets the snaps, He supposdely only has like 170 passing yards but has almost 3000 rushing yards, I'm just hoping Koons actually lets Daniel at QB cook this year cause last year it seemed like it was the RB or nothing

They scrimmage tish and Antlers tonight but then have to open up With Lone Grove to start the season. Then Davis 2 weeks later.
