How does everyone see the eagles doing this season?

Leslie will go as far as our offensive and defensive lines carry us. And if reports are accurate we’ve already lost two staring offensive linemen for the season. One to a an ACL injury and another multi year starter to a non-sports related medical issue.  So that is concerning. 

As far as the scrimmage went, we didn’t absolutely dominate Knott, but we also played a lot of players in a lot of positions to figures some things out.  Our offensive timing needs some work mainly because the changes in line personnel had the QB scrambling more than he should’ve had to.  Our run game isn’t super strong, but had a few sparks throughout the evening. Balancing run/pass will be important to keep defenses from zoning in only on pass coverage. Additionally I saw a couple young players step up on defense that will be a great benefit for us. 

Overall, we’ll win some, and we’ll lose some. Somerset remains the top of the district until proven otherwise. I think we can compete with Breathitt partly because they’ve taken a bit of a hit with their injuries (from the unfortunate accident) and a couple transfers.  But time will tell. And we are less than two weeks from knowing.
