[Single Wing 77]

The OL is very important...however, Boyle has so much talent at the skill positions, and can beat you so many different ways, that the line needs to be serviceable but not "the best in 3A". Not many teams are as versatile and effective that literally ANY style offense can be run at an extremely high level.

At the beginning of the season last year our OL was not very good. In fact, many were worried about their potential. By the end of the season they were great. No way will we have a line that good again this season, but we don't have to.

Not everything is directed at Boyle County, and you don’t have to butt in on every thread that Corbin is a part of, but since you cannot seem to keep your nose in you’re own business.

I have seen teams with MORE skill than Boyle will have get beat because they weren’t good enough up front. I think Boyle will be a good as anyone next year, and they could very well repeat as state champions, but they’ll have to block people to do it. No matter how good their skill guys are. If there are defensive linemen in your backfield all night you lose. Period.

Also, how many graduated off of that front 7 or 8 defensively for Boyle last season? You can toot the Skill guys horn all you want, but 4 people can’t beat 11, regardless of how good they are or how many scholarships offers they have.

I fully expect to see Boyle vs Corbin in the semi’s this season (although I’d rather see Corbin and belfry because it’s become somewhat of a rivalry and I just like the people from there a little more) if they both take care of business, and I think it will be the game that decides the state champion. However, both teams have a lot of work to do between now and then.
