EHS football scrimmage


On Friday, August 23, 2013, the Episcopal Knights faced the Tara Trojans, for a scrimmage. It didn’t count for our regular season, but the football team needed to face another school for practice. It was a bright, sunny, and hot day on Friday. Both teams stretched, then did seven on seven, which was basically everyone except lineman, (wide receivers, running/wing backs, quarterbacks). While seven on seven was going on, the linemen did separate drills, to get into the hitting mood. Then, the receivers did a couple of one on one drill. After seven on seven, we headed to the field to start scrimmaging.
When we began the scrimmaging, people showed up to watch, but not a full crowd.  During the scrimmage, there were officials, but we didn’t keep score during the game. Episcopal started on offense first, and got about fifteen plays. We scored, and then were on defense for about fifteen plays also. Their was constant hitting, banging of heads, and tackles. Tara gave us a good fight, and it was a good game. Tara was a higher classification then us, but that didn’t stop us from giving them a good fight back. After the scrimmage was over, both teams shook hands and told each other good game.

  1. I really like your blog. You have some good adjectives and really know how to use them. When I saw the word football, I was hooked. You did a great job with your free writing.
