Jumpers lost some talented Seniors from last year no doubt, but the backbone of this Jumper team has been the class of 2014. Somerset will return a TON of senior talent this year and should be able to score in bunches. Defensively they will be very good, possibly not as good as last year but a very good high school defense. Somerset will cause matchup problems offensively on the edges with 4.4 speed in Cam Cheveraunt, 4.5 speed with Will Lange, Addison Thompson with 4.6 speed, and newcomer Jordan Doan is really going to impress some people this fall. Castle Hatcher will also be a year older at QB, and he may be one of the best in 2a, possibly the best QB in the state from a team not named Trinity/Highlands by the time he reaches his Junior/Senior seasons. Up front they're going to have the best offensive line since the 2010 state runner up team. This team will once again be in contention to represent the east for the 2a state title game. While I agree that Middlesboro has gotten significantly better (and I do believe they may come in 2nd in the district this year) It is difficult to play outside the unfriendly confinds of the crater, and they play the Jumpers at the patch this coming season. In two years Middlesboro will be the team to beat in the district however with all of the Junior talent they have this coming year.

All of your stats crack me up! "We got this and we got that". What you didn't get last year was a state championship and we'll see how far your talk goes this year! (Probably the same as last year). I'm glad you feel excited for your team but bring them to Northern Ky and watch them get beat and out coached week after week.
