Badger scrimmage

Well fans, if you went to the Beebe/Searcy scrimmage on Tuesday night, you saw a very competitive scrimmage. The Searcy Lions, who have won a combined three games since 2005, look much improved with new Head Coach Tim Harper. I was very impressed with the linebackers, who can really hit. Searcy has a sophomore quarterback who wore #7, who is extremely athletic. This young man can really make some plays. As far as the Beebe Badgers side of the scrimmage, I saw a lot of positive things. First of all, the quarterback position is in good hands with junior Scot Gowen. Scot did a good job with the handoffs and even occasionally running with the football. I was really impressed with junior linebacker Dalton Wallace. He absolutely flew to the football. I was also impressed with junior tight end/lineman Reece Totty. He made some nice plays on both sides of the ball. Spencer Forte did an outstanding job in the secondary. Also, Cody Lawson and Bradley Gann also made some excellent plays. If there was a score kept, Beebe would've won the scrimmage, but it was extremely competitive. There was an excellent crowd at Bro Erwin Stadium, especially on the visitor's side of the stadium. Now, its time to prepare for the season opener against Greenbrier.
