I hope your right Bearpaw.
Nothing would surprise me anymore. 2-8 or 8-2, it all depends on how well we mature over the summer.

To be honest, Whitleys record might not always be a tale tale sign of how good they are this year which may allow us to bite someone in the playoffs.
With a really good Russell County and Rockcastle team starting out at home, followed by road games at Bell, Somerset, and Harlan County, along with a home game at Boyle, our schedule could wind up anywhere.
As long as no big injuries happen, i think we can stay very competetive throughout the year.

It could be a long year or a very good year. But IMO anything less than a 7-3 year will be a disspointment to these kids. Theyve been hanging around the past couple of years waiting for a good year and this might be it, but as i said, with the toughest schedule in the mountains, many things could happen to derail that.

You have Breathitt listed at 4 & 6

My opinion, they have to prove they have improved that much. All the other teams on the list have been perennials to the list and Whitley has just fallen off these past few years. I say let they have earn the spot. Yes I know it is pre-season, but has to be based from last year. They were not good last year. They are in a tough district and have a tough out-of-district schedule. It just doesn't seem like they are top ten yet. Not saying they can't get there but not they show something.

I think any list with P-burg and Perry central are a little off... They just lost alot and have a lot of questions to answer.

No knock against either of those teams. I also think Harlan IND and Leslie Co. could be at the end of the list.

I understand your thinking, but hopefully after our 1st 4 games alot of those questions will be answered for you. We did lose a lot from last years team & some key players. We also had key injuries all year & some of those guys are returning this year and i look for big things from them.

I'm not insulting Crisp at all when i make this next statement. He was a good pocket passer, but had no mobility. When the pocket collapsed so did he. From what i'm hearing Jarrell will be under center this year & gives us a lot more options as he is very athletic & can pull it down & make plays if & when the pocket collapses.

We will have one of the best athletes in the mountains in Bryson Williams returning. A name many of you have not heard, but i guarantee (barring any injuries) you will hear a lot of this year is Grant Anderson. I'm hearing in pre-season also that Adam Griffith has been a beast at TE. He also has a twin brother who will make some noise on D. I also look for big contributions from Grigsby, Holbrook, Kidd, Mullins, Newsome, Perry, Spears, Van Dyne, Holiday, and for some other under classmen to step up & contribute.

I love these boys & this team my expectations may be higher than most, but i will be there supporting them all the way.

:lmao:

I dont see you putting Leslie, they lost more than pburg. If jarrell from pburg can grow quickly at qb they will be just as good. Is the Anderson kid playing? I dont think he was at Breathitt county.

1 Bell Co- # 1 until a Mnt team beats them
2 Belfry- return quite a bit from last year state runner up
3 Harlan Co- return some, got a few holes to fill but Larkey as coach helps....
4 Hazard- Return numerous playmakers and a several on defense, line play determines success
5 Somerset- Returns talent and a few transfer will help out
6 Whitley Co - returns everyone basically so there are up here
7 Breathitt- Got talent but who can help Richard Trent out?
8 Corbin- Young last year and returning experience
9 Perry Central- A lot of reshaping of the offense and big hole to fill on Defense
10 Johnson Central- Been good awhile, lets see how life after JJ Jude goes...

10. South Laurel

Anyone who lists the top 10 teams in the mountains without Hazard on the list just simply don't know anything about football teams. Hazard, the State Champions in Class A, who easily defeated Mayfield, and not on the list is just simply ignorance.... For them to be listed lower than 5 is not reality....To thine own self, be true....

Thats a reasonable assessment.
I cant aruge the fact that weve been down the past couple of years, and we need to earn are way back into the top 10. And as i said, with a schedule like ours, its hard to see us having a great season record wise, and as we all know, outlets like WYMT go mostly off of records instead of looking at teams and how they would do against one another.

I agree.
I don't see Perry being in the top 10. They lost just about everything to graduation.

We did lose a lot, but don't count our guys out, we have several talented kids returning (Pray, K.Robinson,Beatty). PCC/LCC will be a good game this year IMO.
