They have another big fb(McKnight 5'10" 240), a speed back Isaiah King(Elijah's bro), and their replacement for Turner comes in the form of soph Tanner Dolen. King, much like his brother, is very fast, but much like him and Baker at ashland, not much of a threat unless he gets to the 2nd level. Dolen has the strength to get past 1st contact and the speed to beat u if he does. But, imo, this Fairview squad will only go as far as the oline and Caleb McKnight takes them. The line isnt as fast as last year and the backs donthave the over all speed to make up for it. Brewer didnt need a hole, he made his own, and Turner may go down as one of the best backs to ever come out of the area. His leadership, vision, and toughness cant be replaced. Fairviews defense, will miss more by losing King, Turner, Rutherford more so than the offense. Their dbs last year had the length and speed to let the lbs and line attack and not worry much about the passing game bc they could handle it. Not so much the case this year. UNLESS, these "unkowns" have the ability to come together like last years newbies did. Its hard to get that type of continuity with one and doners.

Fairview has almost the same identical line from last yr . 4 of 5 return , & the one newbie on the line is actually a lot faster than the one he replaced . As far as the dbs go all of our starting dbs from last yr is back exept Rutherford . E King did have a couple starts as a db last yr but he wasnt a regular back there at all . We did lose 2 big time lbs in Turner , & Brewer , but return the other 2 lbs in Dolen , & Yetts ( Yetts also plays some db as he did last yr ) . Fairview's RBs is just as fast if not faster than last yr just need to mesh better. Wait until they fully unleash Kurtlen Brown this kid is unreal , & runs a faster 40 than both E King , or Turner did , & hes just a Freshman. The paper said sophmore , but he is a freshman
