As usual bell fans whining its a scrimmage, if bell is as good as all you people say they are scrimmage or no scrimmage it should be somewhat lopsided. Of course if Middlesboro loses a scrimmage or struggles all the bell fans will treat Middlesboro like they should be in mid season form. Face it bell will be down this year it happens, bell is no exception to the rule

tazcat, I've saw you enjoy to take all kinds of unnecessary and uncalled for shots at Bell for no apparent reason on every Bell board, what's wrong, have we stomped your team? Have we got attention your team doesn't get or deserve? Must be something. And the good folks of Bell County saying it's just a scrimmage, well, they're right. It's just a scrimmage. Bell County normally doesn't show up with that fight and leave it all out there mentality or even try that hard in scrimmages, Historically, our JV has put up more points then our varsity in scrimmages, it's really not that big of a deal. Is anyone crazy enough to believe we're gonna do much of anything other than basic vanilla plays? The point of a scrimmage isn't to come out and stomp and dismantle someone, it's to get your kids used to contact at game speed, try to get them into a little bit of an in game feel instead of 7 on 7 and hitting each other. With all that being said, I'll concede a little, I'm not terribly excited about this years team to say the least, no where near the excitement around this bunch as the past 7 years. Don't sleep on them though. This team is capable of over achieving and being really good, but I think across most of Bell County, me, and everyone else realize this is a rebuild year. It's a chance for Mills to start adding in some new wrinkles to the offense instead of playing it safe and doing what we know we can do and succeed at, because this year we truly don't know what we're good at and what will or wont work. We've got a pretty good QB, we've got some good athletes at skill positions, we've got a couple of young backs who look real good and we have an undersized, but quick defense. We'll be able to make some things happen. As I said though, this year is going to be vulnerable and give us a chance to maybe fly under the radar and work on a few new things, but next year, and going forward, I'd say look out because once this young bunch gets the experience under their belt and gets bigger and stronger, could be some scary teams coming up in the near future!
