Owen’s Mitey Mite team (90 lbs and under) had a controlled scrimmage against Pennridge last night. It was a bit rough for NHS, but there were a number of bright spots. There are some excellent athletes on his team and as soon as they get a bit more football under their belts — this was the first tackle game for some of them — I’m sure they’ll start to shine.
Pennridge always has excellent teams; their older teams are often division winners. I know some of the boys on the Pennridge team have played three years of tackle football.
A few photos are here from the scrimmage (Owen is #53).
