JV at 6 Varsity at 7:15 in Woodville!

Should be a good tune-up, higher competition, and a good measuring stick for the Eagles. Looking forward to watching this one!

BC defense holds after giving up a long pass. Woodville stopped at BC 20. BC offense moving well, Faulk completes a few nice passes and Ashton Hunter running hard.

BC offense stalls without scoring.

Woodville scores on a nice scramble by their QB after all his receivers were covered.

After 2 offensive series each, 1st team and 2nd team, Woodville 1 BC 0.
Both series were controlled. Looks like they are going to play game situation complete with kicking game now.

After 1 qtr it's 0-0 in live play. BC stalled out on a penalty in the red zone and missed a FG.
2nd qtr of live play about to start.

After 2 full quarters it's still 0-0.
BC had 1st and goal and did not convert. Fumbled snap cost them 8 yards.

Not much to get excited about for either squad.

Both teams looked good at times, and bad at times.
Offensively, Woodville just shoved it down BC's throat and out-coached them. The talent is there. Great depth in the backfield, a line that improves every week, and one of the best 2-QB systems in the area. On the other hand, for the second week in a row, mental errors killed the Eagles, but we're much more limited this week. Woodville pulled out the win and is beginning to show a lot of promise.
Defensively, the Eagles were aggressive and seemed to tackle a lot better this week. Secondary played exceptionally well. Linebackers should be improved when Harrison makes his return sometime soon. Defensive line was much more aggressive. They were undersized in this match-up and still seemed to use their quickness too their advantage. Improved as well is week.

Bridge City kinda disappointed me this week. I expected a lot more. But they also showed a lot of promise.
Offensively, they weren't near aggressive enough on the line. This isn't the NFL. Position blocking only gets you so far. Especially against a quicker, well-coached defensive line like Woodville's. The QB for Bridge City seems to be a decent replacement for Menard and is a heck of an athlete. The backfield was deep and the running back position and the receivers had pretty good hands and ran good routes. Speed was the difference offensively for the Cardinals. Woodville was faster in their secondary and it proved to be the deciding factor.
Defensively, the Cards were very aggressive, overly aggressive at times. Woodville beat them on a well-called dump-off to the tightend that went for about 40 yards. Discipline was lacking. The technique and size on the defensive line was obviously there. Their line was the strength of their defense. Speed in the secondary, or lack there of, and discipline on the defensive side of the ball, proved crucial to this match-up.

Overall, it was a pretty evenly-matched tune-up. Both teams had momentum and highlights at times. Woodville was just more successful in the red-zone, whereas Bridge City just seemed to not be able to finish drives at all. But a good measuring stick for both teams.

Wow??? Must have been a looked a lot different from that side of the field.....

To say that Woodville shoved it down BC's throat is quite a stretch, and that's being nice. "More successful in the red zone?" How do you figure that one? A scramble by the QB against the 2nd team defense in the controlled portion of the scrimmage was the only score all night, and it was a very nice play by that young man for sure. One long pass for the other "semi highlight" and that's about it. BC ran the ball very well, make no mistake about that. A fumble from the Wildcat formation inside the Woodville 5yd line cost BC a Touchdown and they also dropped another pass to a wide open receiver in the endzone. Woodville was the beneficiary of BC miscues for sure. As far as speed goes correct me if I'm wrong but didn't BC have a LB run down an Eagle tailback from behind when he should have scored? Sure looked like it.

Now I will certainly give credit where it's due and say Woodville played a great game/scrimmage. They appeared to be well conditioned, disciplined and coached. I personally liked the enthusiasm that the Woodville coaches showed, good stuff for sure. Woodville has some good athletes and they ran both their Offense and Defense very smooth. The Eagles will certainly be in a position to contend every Friday night.

BC on the other hand did not play as well as they did against Lumberton, anybody who says they did is not being honest. The Cardinals certainly have some things to work on before they head for Newton on Friday. Offensively they are on the right pace with a balanced attack between running and passing. Execution is the most critical part for them, cut down penalties and hold on to the ball. Defensively they must tackle better! Way too much grabbing and trying to strip the ball, not enough "putting the hat" on people. The next 2 weeks will be tough for BC as they take on 2 good teams in Newton and Vidor. Hopefully this scrimmage was a wake up call.

Maybe it was a bit of an over-statement. By success in the redzone, im referring to the amount of penalties, turnovers, etc, in the redzone. By that definition, Woodville won that battle.

[Rake1]

Is the player from Woodville who was shaken up on the last play of the scrimmage okay? He got caught up when the BC running back reversed field, he turned to pursue, and a BC blocker (the quarterback) absolutely blind sided him.
