[Strikeout King]

I actually watched them play twice this season. Both games, turnovers and their defense got them beat. But, most of these kids have yet to mature. An off season in the weight room and a spring and summer of conditioning, and these kids will be ready to play some football next fall.

Now, for the defense. Burchett cannot take care of everything on the team. Every good head coach in the state has a good supporting cast around him. Powell needs a good D coordinator to take some of the work load off of Burchett's shoulders. Plain and simple. Kinks will be ironed out in the off season and this team will be ready to roll in the fall. Granted, they won't be a state contender in the second year under a new head coach and a new offense, but I'd say you will be seeing and hearing about a completely different football team this time next season. Losses to teams like Lewis Co., Morgan Co., Estill Co., and possibly even Breathitt Co. will be a thing of the past.

i don't see Powell beating us for awhile.

but i do agree with you that they will be better next year and they year after that.
