I really think Prestonsburg will be hurting in the 2009 season. They lack size even more than they did last season. I've heard the possible running back's could be Josh Craynon, Brad Little, Austin McKinney, Josh Blackburn, and Kayne Collins. These are all fast athletes, but all lack size and bulk (except for maybe Collins). I'm not sure how good any of their footwork is or how well the read and see the gaps because none really carried the ball enough last season.

Who is going to step up at Wide Receiver? I know of Joseph Jamerson, whom is a long and athletic player. I thought he needed improvement on his route running, though; and making the habit of looking the ball in when he is making a catch. He is a decent blocker though. I can see him improving this offseason. Other than Jamerson, I really don't know who the receivers will be.

The O-Line and D-Line will be small but quick. Alex Garner will probably be the biggest of them all and he is only a sophomore. With the lack of size, will John DeRossett have to move Austin McKinney to the D-Line instead of playing Line-backer? Hopefully there are some good young players that will step up on the Line.

The Quarterback situation is fine with Michael Burchett. I think he will have his best year as a senior and be a fine leader if he stays healthy.

The defensive back's will be Prestonsburg's strongest position I think. They will be quick, athletic, and experienced with Josh Craynon and company.

As for the younger players, all I know of is Bryson Williams. He is expected to be a future star and I think he will turn out in a couple of years.

Good luck in '09 Prestonsburg.
