All over the state of Maine, high school football teams a chance to tackle someone other than a teammate for the first time. Monday was controlled scrimmage day when teams worked on their offense and defense sets after the first week of practice.

Lawrence vs Brewer

The Brewer Witches and the Lawrence Bulldogs put a heavy emphasis on the running game when practicing in the controlled scrimmages against the opposing defenses on Monday.  Brewer worked Trey Wood and Garrett Ireland the majority of the snaps with plays up the middle and pitches to the outside.  Wood was able to break a few plays for significant yardage.  Tackling from both defenses was strong, as each side had difficulty at times moving the ball.  Lawrence and Brewer however did get flagged for multiple penalties, including a handful of off-sides calls on hard snap counts.
