Alvarado travels to Waco to play University at 11:00am today.
I wasnt there but from what i was told and saw on the threads, WOS looked amazing on offense but needs to sure up the Defensive secondary. WOS won game type scrimmage against 5A Nederland 39-31. Well be fine. Exposed some weaknesses that will surely be corrected. Ill tell you this, with arguably one of the best defensive coaches in the State of Texas, I like having to fix our defense more than offense. Side note: WOS QB Jack Dallas threw for over 300 yrds. Kid is amazing.Quote:

Carthage is going to be good. Only 1st scrimmage, and I'm not sure how good Pittsburg is but Carthage looked great. I don't know how good they are going to be, but if you just go by the eye test of how the athletes look, we look as good as any of the state championship teams have looked. We have some good looking athletes. Nobody will cover 85 this year. Kid quit last year, but he is going to see some big time offers by seasons end. I'm ready for the season to get kicked off. That was just a teaser last night.
Why did he quit?Quote:

The weak spot I noticed is the secondary and the strong spots are definitely the D line and Linebackers, they will be very difficult to run on. With the loss of Washington and Mitchner from the potent offense of last year, they must replace these individuals. In the scrimmage last night, against Decatur which Kennedale won the "game" 21-7, they averaged 15 yards per carry and only (as usual) attempted only 1 pass which was batted down. The new QB is much shorter than last years but appears to be much faster. The line is gelling and the backs are track stars once again with elusive speed. The team appears to be exceptionally strong and quick. They have 2 if not more Division one signees already committed on the defense. Of course this is why the games are played to see how good they progress throughout the season. Coach Barrett is an exceptional coach who can get the most from the least. They should waltz through their district easily and we will see from there.
Teenager...he tried to come back, but Surratt made him sit out the rest of the season.Quote:

Defense was fast and aggressive with pretty good size. Only gave up two first downs.
Should know more after next week when we head to Fairfield.

Guess we watched different games. To me they didn't look anything close to last years team, in size or athleticism. Just a first scrimmage though I guess.Quote:

Just returned from waco university scrimmage we moved the ball at will a couple of fumbles keep it close. I still have some concerns with our offensive line e play and our backend of the defense. We will get it together come district.Quote:

The Buckeyes will not just roll through opponents trying to keep the score below 80, but they still could be very good.
Edited double post.
They were pretty good last year. Beat us like we stole something. We will find out how good they are this year week 1.Quote:

WOS has most of the defense returning from last year so offense was the big question. It's just a scrimmage but we gave up quite a few points. Our offense looks amazing.
I didn't get to go, but reports are the Rockets got blanked 0-6 by Teague. That's 6 TDs not 6 points.
Sans great improvement, it could be a long short season.
Thanks. He is a pretty shifty runner but not much of a throwing QB. I had heard that he was moving but was unsure if he did. We have Floresville in our district that's why I was curios.Quote:

OL looked good at times, and sloppy at times..they need to get more reactionary at what the D is doing, especially at the POA, NEED TO GET TO LBs quicker! blocking air gets you nowhere! if you're in position to blow em up you blow em up!
La Grange played pretty much as I expected with a stout defense and a young o line on offense having trouble getting the middle open. Credit to the Ricebirds as they are big and very physical with two outstanding MLBs and a stud defensive end who played havoc with our lineman. Dobbins was held out the entire scrimmage. Probably Coach K wants the O line to get more together before giving JK the ball. Our Qb Janda looked stronger and quicker with more poise than ever this year. He will be a big factor especially in play action to our big WR Ramirez. The Leps lost our only returning starter on the O line at center in the first series. He was a three year starter and the leader on the line now out with a dislocated shoulder for 4 or 5 weeks. Time for some juniors to step up and fill the shoes. It is very early and too soon to tell how good this team is but from our experience the past few seasons the Leps always look a little sloppy the first scrimmage but shape up fine by game one.
Boy says the floresville qb is named schrollerQuote:

Thanks. Best of luck to your team.
Let’s see did our team meet up to my expectations? NO we did not score every time we had the ball and we did not push the other team back 10 yards each play while on defense. So we have a lot of work to do.
No sane person would have expectations that ridiculous.Quote:

Little rusty but some bright spots ,good speed , D backs left recevers open some but playing Lockhart that can be expected. Travis knows how to use what he has and its young this year the new O will be fun to watch if they have it clicking.Quote:

WO-S scrimmage with 5A Nederland went well.Both teams looked good.Ned was slow to start but got better as time went on.WO-S O is way ahead od the D and that is very unusual.What I really came away with is that....THE REFS NEEDED THIS MORE THAN THE TEAMS.That crew needs lots of work.lol
Argyle pretty much destroyed Ferris. No offense to the Ferris backers out there as they have some nice looking athletes but they were overmatched, especially in the trenches.
We will face better competition this week at Cleburne.
Ill back up what he is saying! lol. Argyle oline is saltyQuote:
