Scrimmages

Drove down to Jonesboro to watch May and Jonesboro scrimmage. I won't bore ya'll with a lot of detail on the whole scrimmage. They had four different groups scrimmaging. When the front line varsity played May out scored Jonesboro 3-1, but had 2 turnovers. In my mind that made the scrimmage pretty even.

Across the south end zone of Pruitt Field, Jonesboro had metal signs about the size of a license plate. These signs were wired to the fence facing south at a distance of about 20 feet between each sign. They had the last name of families on each sign. Those families backed their pickup into their designated spot and the whole extended families sat under awnings, in or around their pickups. I don't know if each family had to pay something for the whole season, but it seemed like a good idea to me. It sure beats advertising signs!

Toward the end of the scrimmage, I masked up and headed for the restroom/concession stand. I was doing my due diligence about distancing, standing about six feet from a lady at the concession stand window, waiting for the window to clear. There was a young girl walked up, took one quick look at me and my distancing cut right in line in front of me. On reflection, what could I have expected to happen? You leave that much distance in a line for food. C'mon now! My jaw dropped, but she didn't no it, I was still masked up!
 
Are there any more scrimmage results to report? And please include all of the boring details! Remember that there are more than a few of us shut-ins who don't get out much. And there is nothing on TV except old memorized re-runs, and democrat party propaganda CRAP! I can't even turn on the news any more without having a barf bag ready, when the left wing media's lies start to flow! Let's talk FOOTBALL! (High school that is, as the commies have already ruined all the rest of it)
 
Boring details? OK, you asked for it. May suited up 25 kids so this worked real well for them. Jonesboro had over 20. Second line of Varsity was May 3 or 4 Jonesboro 0. Front line of JV went May 3 Jonesboro 1. The second line of JV was Jonesboro 3 or 4 and May 0. If you can't tell from the TD's, Mays varsity looks to have quality depth.
 
Strawn got them a good move in from Ranger about 6’4 and yes he’s an athlete. Blum and Strawn scrimmage was early year physical. Strawn is well above Blum right now. Strawn is a real contender this year once again. Strawns play is much faster right now than Blums. A Lot has to do with early play and intensity of Dewayne Lee. Blum has a lot of improving to do over all, can tell graduation hurt. They’re very well coached and you can see they will not be a push over, Very scrappy group but lots of learning and muscle memory to be created. Blum like Jonesboro will just get better each week and be real tough come week8, 9, and 10 if healthy. Real game right now and Strawn wins no doubt.
