[Red and Black]

My takeaway from the scrimmage is that East has two extremely good RB’s this year. I remember Yoak from last year but I don’t remember the other kid, both are very powerful runners with great instincts and great speed. I think they will be a handful in 3A this year and will probably win their district fairly easily with Russell losing so much from last year. Their defense needs a little work up front but they’re extremely physical and Champ always does a great job with making that 4-4 disciplined and violent, so I don’t think they’ve got anything to worry about this year.

I thought Pburg looked amazing for the first scrimmage. Johnson looked like he’s been running Hagers offense his whole life. He was calm and comfortable on every snap, whether under center or in shotgun. Pburg doesn’t have the speed at RB like they had last year with Elliott and Harris, but they make up for it with depth. We look to have 4 or 5 RBs that can flat run over top of or around anybody we play, especially with the size and physicality that our line is playing with right now. Should be a very fun season!

Feels good to have football back in the burg again!
