C'mon now.....all I've heard since the championship game last year is how we are loaded and this year will be our best chance for our first state championship. We have what we perceive as a poor scrimmage and now we're jumping ship??  I've never watched a Wheelersburg football game in my life but I'm guessing they have a pretty good football team. And guess what, win or lose this week at Ashland means little in the big picture. It's about peaking at the end of the season not looking mid-season form in a scrimmage or week one. I'm still picking the Rams in this one, even though I also have a lot of confidence that the young Tomcats will find their mojo and make some noise in 4A this season.

I thought last year was our real shot and this year would be a slightly down year.  Graduation hit us hard especially up front.  I think we will still have a decent team but not as good as we were last year.  

As for the regular season I really do think we will struggle because it’s not padded for easy wins like it’s been in the past and we have games that we will likely lose by multiple scores.  We will know more about where we stand in Class A when we face Pikeville, NCC, and Hazard.
