Since Gary Runyon was moved to DE and Ghormley was plugged in at linebacker in 2010, the Pirates are 12-1. The KHSAA has tackles listed as 60 for Ghormley, 48 for Messer, 68 for Mullins, and 51 for Runyon. The first three are juniors, Runyon is a senior. Mullins is a 3 year started, Madison Ghormley is a one year starter, Tony Messer is a 2 year starter, and Gary Runyon is a 4 year starter.

This is a very, very good linebacking core. The two outside guys are huge with Runyon at about 6'3, and Messer at about 6'6. Mullins and Ghormley complement each other perfectly on the inside, one with power, one with speed. We'll see how it plays out this week, but I found that very interesting. Especially since in 2009 and 2010 the safeties were our leading tacklers.
