Sleepin nuts 27 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 7 on 7 season has pretty much come an gone. They usually start in May and run into mid-July. The importance of the 7 on 7 has diminished since the out of season practice rules were abolished. In years past the 7 on 7 was the only way you could work with sport specific equipment such as a football. Nowadays you can stay home and throw the football 6 days a week if you would like to.

Plywood_King 516 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 Tazewell, Northwood, and Marion will have a 7-on-7 at Marion on this coming Tuesday, but like Sleepin nuts said, the season for that has pretty much passed. That is the last one that I am aware of that is scheduled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trublue 939 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 The original post starting this thread was made in mid June ...and my post today was the first reply. 7 on 7's are winding down here in GA too. Last weekend there were 32 teams participating in a northwest GA event with several of the coaches commenting and saying it was a positive experience for their teams. http://www.timesfreepress.com/news/2014/jul/13/southeastern-7-on-7-benefits-teams-in-different/ Lindsey Young/Chattanooga Times Free Press DALTON, Ga. — The Southeastern 7-on-7 Championships in Dalton offers a little bit of something for each of the 32 high school football teams involved, and the one common benefit of the passing-league competition was very evident Saturday at each of the event's four sites. Even if a team had no aspirations of winning the competition, playing seven "games" Saturday in 90-degree heat was one strong workout. "Conditioning is the No. 1 thing to get out of this, and this is a great opportunity to get out here and condition in a different way," Dalton coach Matt Land said. "We will play several no-huddle teams this year, and this is a way to prepare for that." Land, whose team had a strong showing Saturday to earn a berth in the championship bracket today, also believes being able to compete against other teams will pay off and that any time together as a team is a positive. "We came here to win this thing, even though we're more of a traditional team offensively and this isn't our strong suit," he said. "The GHSA limits what you can do competition-wise, so there is something to win here, so we're going for it. The third thing we get out of it -- and to me this is the biggest thing -- is to come out and just have fun. Our guys love being together, so we're going to have fun. There's not enough fun for kids anymore, so this is a great opportunity to do that as a team." First impressions Two area teams with new coaching staffs were on display Saturday, and though the results were not what each wanted, the experience was a positive. "This is the first chance we've had to go out and work against somebody else, so this gives us a chance to compete against another team," said Central coach Ryan Mallory, whose team will compete in today's consolation round. "The first game we didn't look so great, but we've progressed each game and they're starting to feel more comfortable working together." The Pounders showed a strong defense under new coordinator Cortney Braswell, but the offense struggled until an 18-9 win over North Florida Christian in the fourth game of the day. "Our defense is going to be pretty good and they are ahead of our offense right now," Mallory said. "Those guys have been making plays all day. We may not look very good right now but we have to realize most of these teams have been doing this for weeks and this is our first time out." Likewise, new Coahulla Creek coach Chad Barger saw a silver lining despite a winless first session. "We are a run-oriented football team, so everything we do in the passing game is off play-action, which doesn't translate very well to the 7-on-7 tournaments," he said. "It does help us in coverage and to learn how to compete and be more physical. "We want them to get accustomed to getting after it a bit, and it's been sort of a shock to them. My goal is to see who is going to do what they're supposed to do and be coachable." Realistic approach Baylor's Phil Massey came into the tournament knowing his run-first team wasn't a strong passing-league title contender, but the veteran coach wanted to see how his team approached the competition. While he was happy for the most part, Massey said he hoped the Red Raiders learned a lesson in a 21-15 loss to East Lincoln (N.C.) in their second game. "This is not real football, but what it does is let us teach the kids about competing and effort," Massey said. "We've had some good moments, but we were kind of flat when we first came out and that's not Baylor football, so that's a good lesson to learn." Most pleasing to Massey was the play of his two young cornerbacks, Preston Ballard and George Pettway, while returning quarterback Nick Tiano and receiver Gage Upshaw were in sync most of the day.[/i] Following is a new camp....the second consecutive year the GHSA has allowed it...a "11 on 11 contact camp"....for the linemen http://www.timesfreepress.com/news/2014/jul/17/11-on-11-contact-camps-aiding-prep-linemen/?sportspreps 　 　 　 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigrhsfan 884 Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 Any Richlands fans on here heard anything about how the blues looked at any 7 on 7's. I was wondering how River and the young kid ( forgive me, I can't think of his name right now ) have looked and which has looked better at QB ? Also wondering how we look at wideout this year ? Thanks guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hokies4Ever 23 Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 Running the football will be better this year in my opinion. This years O-Line will be a lot better and the running game will put up better numbers. If Richlands avoids injuries they will be a tough out this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks guys. I got to see one 7 on 7 Dawgs vs Blues.. And IMO Tazewell's receivers are faster than your dbs! Got video floating around here some where. I will try to find it and post it! futbolking 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
