Whitley lost three starters to graduation and they struggled early in the summer in a scrimmage I saw at Harlan County.
I saw them again at LMU and was impressed with how hard they played. I think they were the only team to beat Harlan County that week at LMU.
They have Zack and Devin Rutherford back from last year. I think the other starters were James Sasko, Luke Woods and Chad Foley. Adam Petrey played a lot and gives them a little size, which they need. I think Levi Barton, Jordan Price and eighth grader Cory Johnson are also in the rotation.
They have a pretty good sophomore class, which is pretty weak overall in the 13th Region.
Corbin and South Laurel were hit really hard by graduation. Williamsburg could actually be favored going into the season despite their struggles last year because they have some nice athletes coming back. Whitley could definitely be competitive in the 50th.
