Games I attended in 2007

I attended the following scrimmages:

St. Joe's/Paulsboro/Paul VI

Glassboro/Bridgeton

Glassboro/Lindenwold

Paulsboro/Schalick

Glassboro/Gloucester Catholic

I don't take must stock in terms of teams "winning" a scrimmage.

1. It is not game conditions. You play 10 plays and not 4 downs. Sometimes turnovers are discounted.

2. Special teams do not do much in early scrimmages

3. Different coaches have different approaches to scrimmages. Most are simply evaluating talent and giving their players a chance to hit someone other than their own team mates.

4. The best teams play their best at the end of the season and not the beginning.

5. I have seen many teams look bad in scimmages who later made it to the Championship Game and many who looked good not make it.

Anyone who claims "victory" in a scrimmage is a fool.
