[The Contrarian]

Being a very good rushing team will usually get 8-10 wins a year, especially playing a schedule of mostly EKY teams. To beat the top teams in 5A and 6A you must be able to throw the ball. Johnson Central cannot (or will not) develop enough of a passing game to ever get past some of the elite teams IMO.

Maybe JC will go to the air more in 2010. If they do, who knows, for they could go all the way in 5A this year. But last year a couple 3A teams, or just one, I'm not sure, gave them a run for their money. So, we will see as the season progresses. Games are won and lost on the field!

On another note, there are three pretty good 3A teams in close proximity to JC;
they are: Belfry, Pike Central, and Sheldon Clark, respectively. I've heard that all three will be fairly good this year.
