Our boys played at Claremore Sequoyah tonight, and 6th grade is stacking up to be tough - top to bottom this year. I think our coaches are great and I am happy with how the boys performed our first time out. A few observations on the teams out there.
Wagoner. Very well coached, athletic team. Have a player in the back field (black jersey for those that were there), that knows the game well; and was hard to stop. Note: I will be curious to see if he makes weight when the season starts. He's a complete stud, but I think I call BS on him being under 130. No way.
Owasso black is the real deal. Big, loud, very physical team that seemed to be blowing almost everyone up out there on both sides of the ball. 23 in the back field is an absolute freak. If he is under 160 it's just barely, so like CS black jersey, I'd like to see what the scale says when he weighs in. Truly, one of the best I've ever seen at this age. Wow.
Berryhill... fast, fast, fast. Good coaching, and players that flew to the ball. They will be tough to score on this season.
Sequoyah - some good athletes. Nice misdirection plays and definitely have some speed.
We didn't square up against Bishop Kelly but they looked solid. Saw them on offense a little against Owasso black, and they scored a couple of times. Not sure anyone else did at all. Watched them play defense during our break against Wagoner and they shut them down completely. Appear big, athletic and well coached.
How were the other scrimmages? What did you see?
