I went to check out a high school scrimmage at Eden Prairie this morning. EP, Woodbury, Rochester Century(Central?), MPLS North, and Irondale all attended. No formal scores or anything, just each team running around 20 plays against each others 1st and 2nd teams.
Jimmy Gjere looks like a men among boys out there. Taller and bigger than everyone, and no one really challenged him.
Lamonte Edwards looked really good at RB. Very fast and tough to bring down. He also played some outside LB/DE in woodbury's defensive scheme. Didn't seem to have as much of an impact on the defensive side of the ball.
Eden Prairie looked very solid, but I'm not real familiar with any of there players, so I don't have too much to report. Seems like they have about 2-3 strong fast RBs. I actually liked their 2nd string qb over their first string (though I don't know their names).
Finally, Mpls North has a ton of athletes. I came away real impressed with their qb. Anyone know who he is? He was making some real nice throws and was super athletic running the ball as well.
