East pregames

[thegrid]

Hey heard east and Piketon are scrimmaging, if so what's your take on this? game

[falconflyer]

My take: it is a scrimmage game.

I don't think East scrimmages Piketon this year. I know they have in the past. The last that I heard it was Racine Southern and Unioto! I know for a fact that Racine Southern is for sure; there was a little scheduling doubt about Unioto earlier in the year but, all of the players have said it is Unioto; and I'm good friends with one of the coaches and he has not said any different!

FYI: Both scrimmages are away also!

Axe, why is Racine away this year? Wasn't it away last also

[Axe N Shield]

No! We scrimmaged Piketon and Racine Southern at home last year. If you remember correctly... Will Mault and some of the parents cooked chicken and stuff on the grill for the teams after the Racine Southern scrimmage. The folks from Racine Southern done the same thing for our team the year before last. It is something that has kind of been established as a tradition between the two teams and the parents. It makes it nice and show appreciation for the other team making the long trip. Those folks treated our kids great there the last time up!

I thought that East went on the road last year, I wasnt able to attend any scrimages last season.

[Axe N Shield]

No, we had all of our scrimmages at home last year. I just confirmed earlier this evening that we play Unioto (Away) on Sat. Aug. 9th and play Racine Southern (Away) on Friday Aug. 15th. First game on Thursday Aug. 21st. It makes it the first high school game of the season! Everybody will be ready to watch high school football by then!
