[THOMCAT]

We are 2-1. Why do some people feel the need to blast this team 96 minutes into the season. People need to remember that we have 2 kids with varsity experience, Shane Hall and Matt Gallagher. We have two seniors in B.J. Blackburn and Chad Collins that have only had mop up minutes until this year but have hung in there for three years and are busting their butts this year. We also have James Chaffin who is a senior who is out for the first year. We have six other sophmores that have little or no varsity experience, Slade McPeek, Trevor Sherman, Braxton Hensley, Brent Gooding, Nick McKenzie and Tyler Compton. Add four freshmen in Braxton Blair, Truman Salyer, Dalton Adkins and Kyle Gullett who all all going to be impact players when they get experience and the future looks good. This is a team that is definitly going to be a lot better as the season progresses.
