In high school football scrimmage action Friday night, Adairsville played Bremen to a draw down in Haralson County while visiting Cedartown defeated Cass at Doug Cochran Stadium, 26-7.
At Bremen the two teams agreed to not keep score, but coach Eric Bishop said “it would have been like 20-20 at the end of the game.”
Bishop also stated he was pleased with the play of senior running back Eli Agnew and quarterback Jonathan Gough. He added that Chris Roper had a solid night on both sides of the ball.
The Adairsville coach came away from the scrimmage pleased for the most part but said the team will have some things to fix prior to the season opener next Friday at Chattooga.
At Cass, Cedartown kept the Colonels off the scoreboard for most of the night, but sophomore Sacovie White had an impressive night on both sides of the ball. The two-way player entered at quarterback briefly and scored for Cass on a 75-yard touchdown run. He was wearing a non-contact jersey at the time and kept on a zone read play going untouched with the highlight-reel scamper.
Cedartown won the scrimmage 26-7. Much of the Cass offense was hampered by the non-contact jersey employed for Colonels' sophomore quarterback Devin Henderson. His scrambling ability was mostly negated by stoppages anytime he was touched by a defender.
“When Devin is able to do what he wants to do, it will change up some things,” noted Cass head coach Steve Gates. There were many other issues for Cass to clean up before the season opens next Friday, however.
“We’ve got a long way to go,” Gates said in assessing his team's overall performance. “I thought we were further along than we were — on both sides of the ball.
Cass travels to Dawson County Friday night where the Colonels’ defense must now transition from preparation for Cedartown’s wing-T to face Class AAA’s preseason All-State quarterback selection — senior Zach Holtzclaw of Dawson County.
