[Blackcat 4 Life]

Hats off to this group of seniors for grinding it out, and sticking with the program during difficult times. A lot of players would have packed up and left, but these young men fought through all of the adversity and ended their senior season with a respectful 8-3 record and a playoff appearance. As far as Brewer goes, I have mixed emotions. This year was a step in the right direction, and a lot of excitement was brought back to the program. As I have said in the past, Brewer has a hard time getting kids out and that concerns me. I know certain people may think I'm being negative, but I'm just calling it like I see it. without being biased. Brewer seems like a good guy, but after his fifth year, one would think he would have more than 17 underclassmen coming back. Out of those 17, only six or seven start, or have any varsity experience. I'm not calling for his job, but changes need to be made, one way or the other. Brewer will be rebuilding over the next two years, and you have to ask yourself, how will this effect the talent coming up in the feeder system? If we take a couple of steps back, will these kids stick with program, or will they look elsewhere. I think this is a serious question that needs to be answered? I'm not trying to throw any one under the bus, but if we are going to get back to our "glory days" of past, we have to be able to put a solid product on the field, in hopes of keeping the younger talent intact. Hail Blackcats!
