Paintsville loses a powerful runner in # 35 Wes Ward and a strong TB in # 33 Hans Doderer. Paintsville returns #1 Pugh from this year's starting backfield. Paintsville returns # 34 Kyle Sublett at FB and #24 Shane Cantrell at tailback. Sublett and Cantrell were starters throughout their freshman season. Sublett was a starter as a sophomore at blocking back and Cantrell started for Doderer last season when Hans was injured. Paintsville has been blessed in the injury category this season and both have seen limited action in the backfield. Those two along with Pugh return as seniors in the backfield next season for the Tigers.

Johnson Central returns half their backfield next season as Blume and QB Sean Music graduate. FB Blake Johnson and HB Shawn Grimm return next season as senior and junior respectively. For next season it looks as though J.K Ratliff will get the nod at QB and Ian Welch will get the nod at TB to replace Blume. Ratliff will be a junior and Welch will be a sophomore. Ratliff has said to be the best passing QB to come through JC ever and with the return of JC's leading receiver Tommy Taylor and both TE's in Michael Tackett and Cody Conley all of which who will be seniors, this could be something special.

Things looking good for down in Johnson County. :Cheerlead
