This many kids out is a reflection of your coaching staff and they do a great job. Coach Melton and the Eagles will be a hard out this year if the injury bug stays away. Leslie County returns 2 of the best lineman in the area in Maggard and Mitchell, a heck of a tight end in Dixon. The starting running back and qb will have to get over last years injuries. The Smith kid is a heck of a running back but was injured all season, the key will be if qb Darren Whitaker is back and healthy ( got hurt in the Whitley game last year and missed the rest of the year ) he has a great arm and is a fierce competitor.
