^I will admit that I am not as close to the program as I used to be. I do not watch practices or go to scrimmages as much as I used to. The gap has finally came where I do not personally know all the players, as I used to. I have been out of the county for about 1.5 years and do not go back and forth that much.

With all of that said, I look at the roster and I see what is being lost. They only retain 1 defensive lineman! The offensive line will probably be okay, but the dominating line that they had will not there this season. Ben Lake will be missed more than people realize.

One thing that will help though is that Corey McPhetridge will have another year of experience under his belt.

Another thing I am basing my predictions on is the DISTRICT. I believe each team will get better. Russell County will be even better because they lose NOTHING. They have, I believe 20 returning starters. That's insane! I believe that Canady and the QB will be back for Knox Central as well, I could be wrong.

Basically, Rock was 9-3 this season, they lose a lot, and the district will be better. If Rock has the same schedule, how can they be as good or better? I do not think they can.
