Whitley has never dressed 70 or even 60 that I am aware of. That being said I think that in a couple of years they [I]could[/I] dress 60 and nothing breeds success like success, but even after the 12-2 season the numbers did not go up.

Whitley has the problem of being a rural school, when Jim Black was at Williamsburg he could have almost unlimited practice time but at Whitley he has to deal with buses to take the kids home at a certain time. Parents just do not give a rip if a kid plays or not, regardless of if the kid is good or not.

Sometimes I think numbers (to a certain extent) are overrated. Whitley's best year they only had 7 seniors they did have a nice junior class to go along with them. This year I think you will see a wide range of players contributing from 2-3 freshmen to a host of seniors. The big thing is that you need some of those middle level guys who can play a few plays and special teams to give your studs a rest.

Whitley's problem last year was defense and think they will be much improved on that side of the ball this year and with a potent offense they will be much improved. 7-3 is do-able, 6-4 is probably more realistic, and 5-5 would be what most people think they will have, but I see a lot of similarities between 07 & 08 and last years team and this years team. If the offensive line comes around they could be seriously good.

I agree with that 100%
And like you said, weve never dressed 70, but i was just saying we should or could.
I too agree its overrated, your only as good as the 11 you got on the field.

I hope we can do what we did in 07 into 08. Last year was 07 and it wouldnt bother me to get back to the state semis lol.

As another posted said, with this schedule, 6-4 should be considered a pretty good year. If we go 7-3 or better ill be extremely happen.
Its not impossible.
