Game of the Week - Bowling Green (1-0) at Brookhaven (0-0) The Bucs pulled off a huge win last week over defending state champion Adams Christian in their regular season opener and looked good doing it.
Their goal this week, against another solid opponent, is to prove that they are for real. If the Bucs can run the ball and defend the run as well as they did last week this should be a very interesting game. Brookhaven had a deep playoff run last season and look to begin another solid season so they won't be a pushover.
Should be a good one!

Scrimmage Expectation Comments
"The biggest goal is to stay injury free obviously. Schematically, I would like to see us make the plays that are there for us offensively. Defensively I want to see us be tough and tackle." ----Franklinton coach Nick Saltaformaggio
"I want to see if we are physical on the offensive and defensive line and I want to see if we tackle well on defense. If we do those two things we will have a good year."
----Pine coach Bradley Seal
"I expect us to stay healthy, align properly, pursue to the football, be technique and fundamentally sound. I also expect us to have fun and enjoy some Friday Night Football in Louisiana!" ---- Bogalusa coach Larry Harold
"Our goal for the scrimmage is simple. Compete, play fast and see where we've improved. We want to see our guys play physical, communicate and execute while giving our younger layers valuable experience. We know we won't be perfect, but we want to leave the scrimmage knowing what we need to improve before the season starts."
----Varnado coach Vonta Owens
