Eds will smash us like they did last season. Just too much size , depth … I can go on and on. Why scrimmage them ?Good tests, but I wouldn't hold your breath on the Ed's scrimmage

All good points, but I also remember Benedictine kept out a few starters and played their main guys for a series or 2 while Ed's was still getting in their 2nd and 3rd team varsity guys playing vs the JV Benny team...like you said it doesn't make sense to scrimmage them with their numbersEds will smash us like they did last season. Just too much size , depth … I can go on and on. Why scrimmage them ?
I agree but I don't think the scrimmage helps Ed's as they may play their starters some but getting guys 35-70 meaningful reps will be hard vs a smaller team like BenedictineI say scrimmage Ed's, this is the type of team we will see in DeMatha. Might as well get a feel for the size, speed, and depth of a high level nationally ranked HS Football team in a scrimmage 1st so you can be prepared for a real game.
Just to make sure I am understanding you correctly, you don’t want to scrimmage Eds because we don’t have a chance at winning…?Eds will smash us like they did last season. Just too much size , depth … I can go on and on. Why scrimmage them ?
It’s pointless.Just to make sure I am understanding you correctly, you don’t want to scrimmage Eds because we don’t have a chance at winning…?
Post 743Anyone have the scrimmage schedule for the first two weeks of August?
Wanted to check out some of the teams before the start of the season.
That is such a soft take. Playing a superior team as the final dress rehearsal before the regular season is exactly what you want. Playing a team like Eds is going to highlight everything that needs to be addressed prior to playing games that actually matter. Maybe next year we can scrimmage Holy Name instead so we can hang the prestigious undefeated preseason banner in the gym.It’s pointless.

I heard the opposite. Barker 2nd string. Nick Iliano will probably be playing safety.Heard Lucas looked much better last night...baseball season coming to an end I'm sure so he can focus on football more
It’s pointless.
Lucas looked really good. He will sometimes make soph. mistakes however he is an uber-talented qb. Barker played really well and we have 3 talented sophomores. Can't wait till pads come on a week from Monday. It's less than a month till SHOWTIME.I heard the opposite. Barker 2nd string. Nick Iliano will probably be playing safety.
Bad sourceI heard the opposite. Barker 2nd string. Nick Iliano will probably be playing safety.
I don't even think he has a " source" I think he makes this stuff up. Anyone at the contest yesterday could see Lucas was impressive.Bad source
Just saw a tailgate party for week 3(Sept 3) vs Clev Hts at Panini's from 3-6pmI don't even think he has a " source" I think he makes this stuff up. Anyone at the contest yesterday could see Lucas was impressive.
That is true and a % of the profits will come back to Benedictine football.Just saw a tailgate party for week 3(Sept 3) vs Clev Hts at Panini's from 3-6pm
I can’t tell if this is sarcasm, but yes this would be an ideal scrimmage lineupMight as well scrimmage St Ignatius , Eds, Mentor. Makes sense.
? yeah, because getting your butt kicked really builds confidence .I can’t tell if this is sarcasm, but yes this would be an ideal scrimmage lineup
Hey Cugin...you are not a cousin of the Benedictine family....hit the road if you don't like it...btw they can definitely play w Iggy and Mentor? yeah, because getting your butt kicked really builds confidence .
? yeah, because getting your butt kicked really builds confidence .
How about leaving our site and go bother someone else's site. The Benedictine Bengals are a proud and successful program ( 8 State titles) and we don't need your kind to tell us how to run a program.JerryCugini is a liar and a fraud.? yeah, because getting your butt kicked really builds confidence .
Yeah, quite often it does.? yeah, because getting your butt kicked really builds confidence .
Bengals didn’t make the cut. Chardon was the only D3 school represented at #12Yeah, quite often it does.
Curious to see where Cleveland.com has us in their Top 25 that came out today. Does anyone know?
Glenville made the top 25 which kind of surprised me, they have some strong athletes but not sure about the depth and there are still concerns on the coaching front. We will know a lot more come week 3 when they play Avon.Bengals didn’t make the cut. Chardon was the only D3 school represented at #12
Scrimmages are not about winning & losing. They are for learning. Learning what it takes to play with topflight competition. Learning composure. Learning, win or lose, to keep on fighting. Learning to trust your teammates. Learning how to win or lose with dignity. Learning to be Men of Benedictine. No one said it would be easy. There are no guarantees in life. Time to learn these valuable lessons in a scrimmage, so they carry over to the regular season. Welcome to The Home of Champions. Ora Et Labora!It’s pointless.
Some years back I saw some plans enlarging the gym entrance to the parking lot and possibly enlarging the concessions. Anything going on with that? The entrance area could use a makeover.
