Yesterday I was able to take in my first football experience since November of 2019 as I went to watch some of Carmel vs Monterey in 7v7. My child did not participate in Carmel's 2 game spring season last year, (Monterey did not even field a team), so it was great to finally see some football. Players running around the field, coaches yelling encouragement (and some discouragement),about 25-30 fans in the stand, it is getting me amped for the first games at the end of August!
As far as the play on the field: Sloppy. Monterey was the clear winner as they were a lot more athletic than Carmel. But lots of dropped passes (mostly Carmel), timing was way off, basically what you would expect from 2 teams only practicing for about a week or so. Monterey was able to go deep, their QB1 has a nice arm especially on deep routs, but he was a little off on some shorter routes. Carmel looks to be in rebuild, their QB1 look to be quick and make good reads, not sure of his arm strength. I know Carmel was missing some kids due to injury and vacation, not sure if Monterey had all their best out.
I do know it was great to be back in a stadium watching live football even if it was 7v7. Cant wait for the end of August!!!
