The previous poster is correct in that SC had too much hype going early on. But on some of the other points are, just maybe, subjective. However, that's alright, for this is a venue where one can state his or her opinion freely, and any and all are certainly welcome to their opinion.
As far as the criticism of the "Skyles kid," many that have watched him perform from youth league, middle school and three prior years of varsity @ Sheldon Clark, would probably say that one can't make an accurate assessment based upon the two games played this season.
Two games played as a sophomore, after sitting out five games due to an injury, he was outstanding in the Pike Central win, which gave the Cards a regional championship. Moreover, the very next game, he rendered another standout performance in a losing cause against Somerset, with numerous gains, capped off with a 60+ yard TD run and another long gainer; thus in many peoples opinion, the outstanding back, for that game, on the Cardinal team.
Moving on to last year, he had a great game against Belfry, which SC won, and was definitely the underdog. Skyles had a long TD run and numerous 8 to 20 yard gains.
But unfortunately a "bad" game nullifies the good games, and that's the way many seem to see this situation.
Therefore, I, as a Card fan, am not giving up on KP, for he is an extremely dedicated, hard working young man, and whats more, based upon what I know, he has character. So, let's wait and see what transpires going forward.
