I promise you that by this time next year you will be singing a different tune about PT. They have Rogers there now and he has brought back Shanks. These are 2 great disciplinarians that still will encourage the kids and allow them to have fun. Every movement them boys make will be like clockwork by the second year of work. Shanks is the one that had them headed to state this year until Wyatt ran him out the week before Wayne Co. Ask Highlands fans if I am not correct. This team will become a big factor and possibly even this year.

Once again... not saying it wont happen but PT has to prove it first.

They have been paper Tigers the past 6 years and the only thing they have to show for it is a Championship the only year Belfry and Central were both down at the same time.

Until then to crown them as the new royalty of 3A with a team who habitually underachieves and a new coach who has yet to even sniff a State Semi-Finals as the man in charge... while the 3A Class is going to be absolutely stacked with the team who has habitually dominated (Central), the team who has been along with them step for step and the defending Champs (Belfry), all the while adding Boyle County and LexCath.

I know you want Tilghman to suddenly became the best team in 3A because it would reflect well on Mayfield..but you are drastically short selling the strength of the programs at the top of the class already...as well as the teams about to enter the mix.

Even if Rogers meets your expectations the absolute ceiling I see for Tilghman is to be an equal to Central and to me that is even a stretch. Year in and year out Central has slightly more talent as it stands in comparison, so to even equal the Jackets would mean Rogers is a wash compared to Ty Scroggins who is in my opinion one of the best coaches in the State. To insinuate Tilghman is going to "dominate" means either you feel they have more talent, or that they will have a better coaching staff. I simply can;t concede that in either case.
