What would make these games toss ups?

Morgan Lost everything off of a team wih 2 wins. Bath Co lost everything off of a team with 2 wins. East Ridge won 3 games last season, and return nothing. KCC won one game. Leslie won 3 games last season, two of which were against teams listed before.

Shelby Valley against Leslie twice, Bath, East Ridge, KCC and Morgan county was never even a ball game. I actually dont think you could've taken the best players off of all those teams, and beaten another good team last year.

The combined score of Shelby Valley vs. those teams were 288-34. What makes you belive that Shelby Valley will struggle against them?

I have to correct you on 3 things for the coming year that stand behind Alpha Boy:

1. Morgan lost mostly nothing off of last years team with a ton of talent coming up in the sophomore and freshman class. They did have a super middle school team (and were pretty darn good this year) and they are in the system and will be much better next year and improve each year.

2. Bath Co. lost nothing off last years team period. Their talent was in the freshman and sophomore class. They also had a strong middle school team that actually played Morgan for the conference title 2 years in a row. (I think they split). They will have a team lead by junior and sophomores. They to will be much better and will improve each year for several years.

3. Leslie can be thrown in there with the same situation as well. Young team. Young talent. Much better and improving over the coming years.

I only think Morgan may be a close game (with Morgan winning). I think Leslie and Bath win easily for a couple of years at least. Don't know as much about KCC or East Ridge but I know they will be compete. If your a small school like Valley (and everybody else in the area), you can't lose 19 seniors (+/-) and just replace them and not miss a beat. You have to be realistic and understand that it will take time. I am not saying they won't win a game but I feel that winning record would be a great accomplishment for this years team. 2-9 or 3-8 is where I think they will be, that is my opinion, and I wish them the best of luck playing the greatest sport there is.
