to give us something to talk about until reg. season startswhat is the point of "scrimmage" results?
Olentangy has won all their scrimmagesIf you're interested in how the high school season is going to start, the scrimmages can provide some insight. For example:
1. Glaser hasn't played for Upper Arlington yet. Not sure what's going on there.
2. Olentangy Orange has lost all 3 scrimmages so far. That's a real eye-opener.
3. Coffman has played 1 scrimmage. Not sure what they're waiting for.
4. Scioto has won all their scrimmages.
5. Jerome has won all their scrimmages.
6. A lot of big schools are playing small schools.
HS scrimmages are much different than MLB preseason. At least they should be. HS scrimmages are 4 games that don't count in the standings that give teams an opportunity to get the starters good reps and maybe decide playing time at a position between a couple of guys.
And then there are teams that roster bat and really waste the time by treating scrimmages like they're rec league baseball games. I always get a good laugh out of that.
In defense of Orange, all their scrimmage loses have been by just a run or two with them playing a lot of people.If you're interested in how the high school season is going to start, the scrimmages can provide some insight. For example:

Which is why scrimmage results aren't a big dealIn defense of Orange, all their scrimmage loses have been by just a run or two with them playing a lot of people.
Agree, some coaches treat scrimmages as situations to see if certain kids can perform in different situations. Some treat it like a World Series for bragging rights. Scrimmages are to see new players perform and to get kids ready. I see one of the scrimmages listed above where the score doesn't show true results. One team pulled starters to see bench guys perform the other kept starters in for majority. So scrimmage results mean absolutely nothing!what is the point of "scrimmage" results?
Completely agree. Scrimmages results are pointless, not the actual scrimmage, but just the results. Teams have players in different spots, situations, maybe throwing people they don't normally throw. Giving kids a chance. I love scrimmages, but posting the results and bragging about beating teams in them have no place in my mind.Agree, some coaches treat scrimmages as situations to see if certain kids can perform in different situations.
