Middlesboro will have a good year. I think they could be 7-3 or 8-2 2nd in Dist to Somerset.

I think the Jackets will finish 8-2, with a first-round playoff game at home.

If they can stay injury-free, they could be as good as any 2A team on the east side come mid-November. And their team is predominantly juniors!

No offense but I am just not seeing this. As I pointed out it seems the consensus is Mboro is about to suddenly be a State Title contender, and even though they do return a lot of experience, they simply were a bad team last year who may have went winless if not for a ridiculously easy non-District schedule where they beat up on BAD 1A teams and a Shelby Valley team who was probably one of the 5 worst teams in all of 2A.


I think they will be decent and competitive and certainly improved... but I see their ceiling this year as a "decent" team, but still nowhere near the level of play to be a threat to win their Region. If Middlesboro is truly a 2A contender then that class has got to be historically weak IMHO ( and I don't think that's the case).
