No thanks, I'd hate to get my knife dirty.

But jokes aside, I do think scrimmages are a useful tool, which is why I've been criticizing your 'don't mean squat' stance. They don't show you where a team will be at the end of the year, but they show very well where the team is at currently. If a team subs a lot the coach is still experimenting with player placement. If a team runs varied strategies or small variations on a single strategy, the coach is still experimenting with scheme. If the team goes plays like a normal game then the coach is satisfied with his plan and is just looking for execution.

7v7's are also useful, but not as much as a scrimmage since lines, kick teams, and running are vital parts of the real game. Once again, I'm not saying Boyle County is worse than FD. I'm just saying that judging from a 7v7 alone and dismissing scrimmages is foolish.

Honestly, I'm not sure why you dismiss scrimmages since I'm told BC demolished Madison. Why not make the performance there an argument for doing better against Trinity than fd? Why focus only on the 7v7?

Let me be straight on a couple points.

I never meant scrimmages weren't important...people put way too much in the outcome so I was meaning that they don't mean squat. In 2017 Madison Central came to Boyle Co and beat us 21-0 in a scrimmage...by years end we'd have put a running clock on them.

I firmly believe we would beat FD and although I think we could hang for a while, I seriously doubt we could beat Trinity.

I mentioned 7v7 for the reasons I stated earlier...for comparing skill positions (WR, QB, DB) of BC and FD because I witnessed it firsthand.
