We're one week away from the official kickoff of the 2019 football season. That means it's scrimmage time. As has been tradition over the past handful of years, we'll be meeting with Ben Davis tonight. This year, the scrimmage will be held at Riverview Health Stadium, so we get to stay home.
There are two options for the format of an IHSAA sanctioned scrimmage. We are going with Option B, which does not involve the kicking game. Each team will have 15 plays from the -35 yard line, 10 plays from the 10 yard line, and then 12 plays from the 35 yard line. This series will alternate between teams and have short breaks in between each segment. After that, there will be two sets of 8 plays for each team that is tagged for "reserves." So expect the first three sets to heavily feature the varsity two-deep, and then for the last two sets to feature upperclassmen JV players.
Since there are no JV or freshmen scrimmages, we will also have a short inter-squad freshmen vs sophomore scrimmage tomorrow at 10AM to try to make sure everyone gets some game-like reps. So if you'd like to check out the younger guys, you could pop in tomorrow morning as well.
We look forward to taking the field tonight and showcasing this year's team. The first play is scheduled for 7pm. Hope to see you there.
