i think powell will be okay if everyone can get on the same page. the line has to be one unit, last season coach melton tried and tried to pound this idea into the line, but hardly anyone went with it. with returning player derrick blackford, who was indeed seen in the halls of powell county today and in gym class joking around with his next qb. with billy rice getting faster and faster, he is quick now, basketball has done wonders for this kid, he will be a top qb in the new 3A class that powell is moving into next season. im not saying powell will win the state, but it could be the first winning season in powell county history, the one goal coach jones couldnt accomplish and if he would stay around one more season he would most likely accomplish that, but coach has decided to leave. with elam, ledford, and howell blocking for blackford so he can run, and blocking for rice so he can use his nice arm to his recievers, powell should be okay next season, but everyone has to be on the same page reading the same playbook. good luck guys.
