WK 1: Barnesville @ Fort Frye

[EasternDspy]

Barnesville coming off a 12-1 season. They didn’t even have a close reg season game. They lost in regional semis 26-13 to Wheelersburg.

[West Rowan Falcons]

This could be the 'game of the century' but I'll settle for best game in the East District in week 1.
Solid coaching staffs and some athletes on both sides capable of playing at the next level.
Can't pick a winner here, but go see this one if you want entertainment.

The kid that moved in from TV Kainan Bradford is going to make an impact most likely at Qb.

Agree on that. Saw on other sites he's 6'4, 185 and a special player. Also one of East District's best in baseball.
Fort Frye no doubt gets a great transfer from Tusky Valley.

More like 200-210 now. He’s staring on the Beverly Lowell legion team.

Kainan is an absolute unit.

Kainan is an absolute unit.

Warren gonna make that unit beg for mercy this season.

I’ll be interested in seeing if having Bradford at QB will change their offense at all. Could see them potentially throwing it a little bit more than usual. He’s an impressive baseball player for sure.

Wondering the same thing to an extent. When they have had a QB with a capable arm and solid athletes around him they have shown a willingness to throw the football more than normal. I seem to remember Ian Ellis throwing for ~1500 yards one of his final years as a starter (I could be totally wrong on this).

Grady Hesson who will be sophomore returns at Wr. He is a very quick route runner with good hands. He’s playing on the legion team at 15.

They’ve usually had a good tight end when this is the case considering a lot of their passing game seems to revolve around booting out and looking for a TE on a drag route. I’m not sure what they have at that position this year. Hesson is a nice receiver, just a little on the small side. But I wouldn’t be surprised if they air it out a little more, especially in league games where your opponent is going to know your tendencies a little better. Not saying their identity will change at all - you’re still going to get the Wing T - but it’s not unreasonable to think there’d be some wrinkle in the passing game.

Saw him play legion ball over the weekend and if I was Huck I would put him on the line vs QB. He is a big boy and definitely going to help FF out wherever he ends up. The talk in the crowd is he is a real good kid and keeps his head down and does what he is told.

Last year the Cadets were rebuilding and went 11-3 lost to West Jefferson in regional semi. Lost 48-31 but still ran for over 300 missing star player Clayton Miller.

Got a good look at Barnesville on Saturday at Marietta's 7on7 tournament, and talked to their coach. Already can't wait for this matchup.

One of the best games of the season in week one.

Any casual fan should get a ticket for this one.

Cadets have been in summer camp all week. I think the team should be better than last year. Time will tell though.

Saw in the paper where Huck said their numbers are super low this year - like 30 kids. I know FF has never had a huge roster but that seems like a really low number. What’s up with that?

Which article was this in? Also, any idea when the pig skin preview comes out?

It was in the article about the 7x7 Warren hosted not too long ago at the bottom of the article. Preview typically comes out in mid August I’d say. Here’s the link: https://www.mariettatimes.com/sports/20 ... 7-success/
