Although I don't comment much on the football teams and threads, I talked to Coach Whitaker a while back and he's been working hard with his team, trying to improve the program at Powell. He's been a very successful coach in the past. I just hope that his career at Powell won't diminish his reputation. He's worked so hard to help the kids, I just hope they have something to show for it when the season rolls around. He's had the kids in the weightroom nearly everday and on the field conditioning and running plays, trying new things. Good luck to Powell County next year. They'll need all the help they can get. And with their coach...success will come.

Everywhere coach Whitaker has been he has had unlimited talent. We are not loaded with the kind of talent he is used to having. We will have to work much harder or weaken our schedule like our neighboring county did to have a winning season. I did not see the team do any special things last year. The kids were usually out of practice by 5:30 or 6:00. I hope he see's he is going to have to adjust his style for us. We have not had a winning season and have not had any division 1 players come through hear and may never. So what we did last year was not enough.
