Week 1 of the high school football season got off to a great start for the Marshfield Blue Jays last Friday night. Class 5 Springfield Parkview came to R.A. Barr Athletic Stadium for a scheduled 7 p.m. kickoff. Mother Nature made everyone wait a little longer, as multiple lightning delays pushed the start time back to 8 p.m. Marshfield won the opening toss and chose to defer to the second half, putting the defense on the field first. Marshfield Head Coach Cody Bull had told us earlier in the week, “Last year we had one starter returning on defense; this year we have eight.”
The calendar may say August, but Friday night at Hillcrest High School the Logan Rogersville Wildcats gave us all a reminder that Fall is Coming. The Wildcats participated in a football jamboree. If you’re not familiar with the term, it’s basically high school preseason. A jamboree involves multiple football teams in a live scrimmage environment. For this jamboree there were four teams, Hillcrest, Central, Strafford and Logan Rogersville. Each team got 12 offensive plays and 12 defensive plays against each opponent (8 plays for the Varsity and 4 for the JV). It’s essentially a high intensity practice where the boys put on the game uniforms, fans are in the stands, officials are on the field, and we can get a taste of how they stack up against other local teams before the season begins.
