What does Allen County-Scottsville need to do to improve in 2013? What do they need to keep doing to be successful? Remember, please be constructive.

Coming off a down year, I believe that ACS was relatively young last year and look for this year to be much improved. They had some good showings last year, including a 15-8 win over South Warren, but also had (IMO) a terrible loss to a 3-7 Hoptown team in overtime. I look for the offense to stick with the option this year, and hopefully some improvement will occur on both sides of the ball. I look for them to battle South Warren for the #2 spot in their district, with everyone probably chasing Warren East who should be good yet again despite having to replace their head coach. I would say ACS should be 6-4 this coming season. Expect tough games between them and WE, SW, and Monroe (if they play again this year).

Black Jack, do you know some of the players that are returning? Who ACS will look to make improvements?

ACS was really hammered by injuries last season at QB and several other positions. The back-up even missed a couple of big games due to a car wreck. They started a 3rd string QB in their two biggest games of the year against Warren East and Franklin. Offensively The Patriots return most of the O-line for the first time in a couple of years and the leading rusher and leading receiver. Should be a good bounce back year. Also South Warren is 3A so they will not battle it out for the 2 spot with them. They actually aren't even playing this season.

My mistake. Do you think when realignment occurs that ACS will move down to 3A? I know there is word going around that SW will move up to 4A, WC will move down to 4A, and possibly ACS down to 3A.

A lot of people really thought that South Warren was getting bumped up this season but the state decided to leave them be. I think ACS is low end 4a enrollment but not sure if they drop enough to get to 3a. I think there is a better chance of South going to 5 a in two years than ACS going to 3a.
