Recap from Harrison Scrimmage


Every long journey starts with a first step and the 2010 Colerain Cardinal Football team took theirs Friday night. After hitting each other all summer the Cards took on the Harrison Wildcats in their first contact scrimmage.

The expectation of the 2010 Cards is that they will be led by their defense. This showed early in the scrimmage when scoring for the evening was started by a 18yd fumble recovery by #55 Andrew Smith. This set the tone for tonight's contest as the defense shut down the Wildcats. Led by #21 Chris Dukes and #44 Jarrett Grace the first team defense played extremely well. The only score given up came late in the contest when many 2nd and 3rd teamers were playing.

Offensively it was Colerain football at its best. The O-line dominated the line of scrimmage leading the way for the show to begin. The first offensive score was a pass from #1 Tyler Williams to #5 Chris Davis followed by an 80yd run by #1 Williams. Then the Cards turned to the power game. Trayion Durham (#34) scored on a 7yd run, out of triple I formation, led by the lead blocking of #7 Joe Bolden and #50 Jake Blust. Williams scored again on a 20yd run and then the subs took over. Dustin Smith (#6) led the team down the field and scored himself on a 1yd keeper. The scoring was capped off by a 50yd run by #27 Chris Mimes. All of the TDs were followed by extra points kicked by #14 Tommy Budke, who was a perfect 7 for 7.

Overall the scrimmage was impressive. Offense, defense and special teams played with aggression, enthusiasm and togetherness. That is the foundation a successful season can be built on.

We Are.....One Team One Goal
We Are.....Colerain
