Looking on KHSAA website and saw that Marcum was leader in returning tackles with 83 for 12 games Wallace with 81 for 12 games and Ousley with 56 for 10 games but I think he didnt start until Pike Central and missed 2 games after that for total of 6 games. Looks like 3 good experience tacklers that are willing to stick their heads in a pile. Several other players with 20 plus tackles with limited field time. Jarrell had 37 and Anderson 33 tackles. They graduated 4 with Adam Griffith with 111 Aaron Griffith 90 Cody Jarrell 85 and Vandine at 59. Looks like a good nucleus to built around if some can increase tackle totals. I think that defense will be the key again for the Blackcats to succeed. I feel that the returning team is the type that play to the end and will not overlook any team and are very coachable. I felt last year seniors wanted only to play hard enough to beat their opponent and had to dig themselves out of a hole in several games. I wouldnt be surprised that next year team may surpass most people expectations.:Thumbs:
