The 2008 HP Varsity Football squad held their fall inner squad scrimmage Saturday. The football gods must have been watching over the fighting Scots as the weather was unseasonably cool for August. With rotating QB's the defense worked on defending a variety of different styles. Seniors Dillon Zweifel and Blake Burgin joined Juniors Luke Woodley and Matt Skidmore running, throwing and working in some handoffs. The quarterbacks were identified with their yellow pennies (some might call them practice jersies, I just like to call them pennies since that's what they were called when I was a youngster at UP) the qb's were a bit tough to tell apart until you saw them move, they all have a different style. Junior's Chris Hipps and Brooks McIlhenny were either catching or running with the ball. Due to some injuries and some multiple numbers I am still not sure who was who but they definitely looked like they were knocking off some of the dust off of the equipment that they have not been able to practice in(I think they had one day in pads but maybe not) since last season. It is always fun to see new faces on the field and to see old faces with new numbers, good for my aging mind to have to learn new numbers. Next Friday the Scots will take their new team to Plano for another scrimmage, not sure if quarterbacks will be available for tackling out north but look for an exciting season with a fair share of both running and passing. If you are having Seth Gardner withdrawals don't worry, I believe between a returning reciever and a few juniors there will be a few receivers opponents will find threatening. If everyone can stay healthy the Scots should have some exciting plays up their sleeves or on their wrist bands.
