[Mr. Sandwich]

First off the Hardy kid was a senior, by far their player. He single handidly won the game against Magoffin, he had some wheels. They lose the big Brewer kid too and he was tough. They said in the crowd a couple of linemen you had started for 4 years. 'Little more varsity experience then you let on here. This was supposed to the THE TEAM for Powell. Go back through all the Powell threads before this season, look who all they posted was returning who was starters or had varsity experience. Read it for yourself. Everyone from Powell predicted 8 wins with all they had returning, now that was before they lost their coach and the Rose kid. Estill returns EVERYONE, Lewis was young and turned on late, Morgan started 7 freshman. So all these teams like...as you say, will all be better as well.

And you obviously didn't hear that Burchett kicked 4 starters off the team for not attending practice. Add the loss of the Rose kid and you are back to square one. A team primarily made up of Freshman and Sophmores who have very little experience on the field and in the weightroom. Burchett came in 4 or 5 weeks before the season started and put in a completely different offense than what these kid's were used to. Now they get a season in a new system under their belts, an offseason of weight lifting and conditioning, the spring and summer to LEARN this new offense and the complicated blocking techniques and you have a team that went from having a 2-9 record to one with a 9-2 record. Losing to teams like Estill, Magoffin, and Lewis will be a thing of the past. Burchett will instill a winning attitude within the program and winning will become a tradition instead of just having a good year. Trust me. I played for the man and have been around many of the teams he has coached.
