S Columbia PA 15. Hammond 0.

This team is the better team. Hammond has ever played. Boogie has 1 nice tackle, they're double teaming him. I have been watching him.
Know they wanted to showcase Burch and a few other players, but Hammond completely outmanned in this one.
Just shows you how really bad SCISSA is in SC. Hammond might be able to compete in AA in SC. Yes, they have a few D1 guys, but the rest of their guys would never see the day for even average AAAAA schooms
This is a total beatdown. This looks like the old 8 man SCISA games my friends played 25 years ago.
I saw Clowney, Xavier Thomas, Zacch Pickens and Shaq Lawson play HS ball. Burch has a lot of work to do. I know it's only one game. But he has been very mediocre. Whenever you saw the four I mentioned greatness would shock you several times each game.
It's just not a high level of football and the fact some out there think Hammond is a top 10 program in this state is a joke. Hammond would get run off the field by Abbeville in AA. They couldnt come close to beating bad 5A teams like Lugoff
Yeah, he’s been somewhat underwhelming in the limited time I’ve been watching. That may be attributed to them being down by 29 when I started watching.
Fleming looks good.
Jackson Muschamp is not a D1 player. Hell I don't think he is D2 material.
You want to play big boy HS football in SC you go to a 5A school like Dutch Fork or others like it
As a rule, in this area, private high school football is pretty much a joke when compared to anything above middle of the pack 2A ball. Hammond is a great example. Seems like the private landing spot in Columbia for some recruited athletes, but at the same time not sure how much they are helping their progression playing against their usual level of competition.
These kids who leave their hometowns to join these all star type “academy’s” really do miss out on the experience that comes with playing with the guys you grew up with. To each their own I guess.
I agree and I'm not trying to change the subject. But would you say the same thing for players who skip bowl games like Deebo?
I don't like bad mouthing a kid. But I hope they don't waste a scholarship on him at USC.
Best thing about that game was listening to Mike Morgan doing play-by-play football! Not a Todd Ellis basher, I like Todd. But Mike is excellent at calling all 3 sports. Oh well.
Very few teams in SC below AAAAA can hang with Abbeville consistently. Our Hartsville team has played them twice recently at a neutral site (Newberry College) and frankly, we were fortunate to split the two games.
Hammond would get drug by Hartsville also. I'd say any #1 seed from a 2A region would have little trouble with them. But in reality, ESPN's coverage had very little to do with Hammond, or highlighting either program. Just about all of their high school broadcasts are about showcasing prospects of their previous ESPN 300 list.
Not trying to be overly critical but I just went back.and watched the game.No way Burch is the #1 player in the country.Looked pretty damn soft to me.Single blocked alot and did nothing except block one pass.Its one game but you can tell his motor isn't that great.
This is concerning. It may be that if we miss on him, it won't be as big a loss as we thought.
How does Hammond manage to get these great athletes in private school when it's over 15k a year to attend high school
Just like a baby IMG.I think Huntleys parents are pretty well off financially.The others get scholarships.
Due respect to Hammond, but there isn't a private school around here that has any business playing an upper-tier public school. Some of my friends with Hammond connections said it looked like they were up against a college team.
A mistake of seismic proportions. And the person who made it still has ties to the program.
Nailed it!
Precisely!
What was the final score?
This wasn't even close. I felt bad for Muschamp Jr. Burch and Huntley were not what I expected to see. They will score 80 on Ben Lippen this week. Everyone can use a good humbling from time to time.
The good part is he will probably drop into our hands now. Not sure the other schools will care about him now, based on yesterday.
I almost want to think a coach recruiting Burch, talked him into "taking the day off". I don't feel that is possible though. He was not the same kid that I saw in combine videos. He has alot more speed, quickness and ability; that we did not see Sunday.
For us, he is a "take"; we need all the quality DLs we can get. For the other schools maybe not.
$$$ - Private schools use to provide some Athletic/Academic scholarships in 80s, 90s and early 2000s, I don't know if this is still true.
For those bothered by "possible wasted time" over an inferior FB player, it would be really nice to know "if USC placed him" at Hammond. Or suggested it. For us to be so dependent on getting Burch and losing out on other DLs.
