Things to remember...
Scrimmages are just scrimmages, a good coach is looking for something in the flow of the game not necessarily a W. The kids on the other hand should be striving to get the W. So the subbing and relocation of players may have an unexpected outcome, positive or negative. In either case a lesson was learned and fine tuning begins.
Therefore reading a lot into scrimmages is akin to saying the preseason rankings is accurate.
No one knows until the games begin.
Godd luck to all.... It is about time....
