I do too based on that returning talent. The issue with Bw is going to be coaching which has let the Tigers down in recent years.

 

on the defensive side of the ball, i like the play calling. I'm a little hesitant to say the same about the offensive play calling. I like Rash though. He's a good coach that cares about his kids and prepares them for the season year in and year out.

I got a different team in mind.

 

enlighten me.

^ I hear you TP, but how it looks on paper means nothing. Beechwood's current players have a lot to prove on the varsity level. Freshman success means nothing on the varsity level. All it means is you have talent. Not to be too harsh, but the way the season ended last year puts that team as the least successful Beechwood team in the last 8 years. That isn't opinion, that is fact. I like this year's team a lot. I hope they are putting in the work right now because this is when championships are won.

 

You nailed it VOR!

enlighten me.

 

The Red team from the West

Little orange team from the capital city...got a little incentive to see Mayfield/Beechwood again..

I really hope the Tigers can once again put it all together on both sides of the ball this year. I saw so much potential last year where they looked unstoppable and then just when you thought everything finally clicked they would digress and look like they had no identity.

 

I will say they had the talent to go deeper in the playoffs than they did but at times last season the coaching had me scratching my head. They had some serious talent at WR for instance that they just seemed to ignore and it seemed as if the coaches favored the soph's over the upperclassmen at times and I think that hurt them.

 

Hopefully this year they play more as a team like they did at times last year.

 

I'm ready for my tigers to bring home another title.

I think you make a great point, in the couple games I saw last year it looked like they were trying to force feed the Soph's, coaching staff was probably trying to get them to mature at a faster rate knowing they would need them later in the year, I don't know that as fact, just my opinion. I think a year of maturity by all the young men will help, they lost a little from last year, but return most of their weapons, especially on the offensive and defensive line.

Is it true BW is under 40 players for this season? I have heard 3 or 4 starters have quit in recent weeks.

Under 40? Nope.

When I look around at practice ... it looks like our numbers are up over the past 10 years or so.

Not sure who the 3 or 4 starters are ... I am aware of one player who left who actually started a game last season.

If anything ... I would say that the numbers are up!

The only person they lost on the offensive line was their center Luke Miracle, everyone else returns, on the defensive side of the ball they lost no one to graduation. BW is solid at both of the tackle positions with Combs and Bright returning, Combs looks good, and Bright looks as though he has put about 20 lbs on his 6'5" frame. At guard they return McKown and Etler, McKown is an athletic beast that may very well play mostly defense this year, Etler after suffering from a leg injury most of last year is supposedly healthy and has grown. The center position looks to be Mahorneys to lose, but IMO that isn't going to happen. I wouldn't be surprised to see BW line up in 2 tights more this year than last, they have Stokes back at TE as well as the other Bright twin and the Cleveland kid who looks like he has put on about 15-20 lbs of muscle since last year. Wouldn't be surprised to see Stokes in the backfield a little as he got a few carries last year and considering they have great depth at the TE position. One kid who is going to demand playing time is the Jr. Overstreet, saw him the other day and he is huge, has to be in the 270 range, and he plays with bad intentions and is athletic, IMO his emergence could allow McKown to concentrate on the defensive side of the ball.

As for the D line, McKown is back, and if he doesn't play both ways he will demand a double team on every snap, he is that good. Hamilton is back at the other D tackle, but look for Hermes and Rowe to push him for playing time. Combs and Stokes are both back at DE, both had a fine year last year, but going both ways limited their effectiveness late in games, look for Bright and Sherron to get more snaps on the defensive side to spell those two.

As a whole I think both sides of the line are going to show marked improvement over last year, I also look for BW to discard the finesse offense they displayed last year and go back to pushing people off the line of scrimmage.

 

 

 

 

I seen one of the Bright twins at UDF he only looked to be about 6'3 200 pounds. Hope they both have a great season.

You should have watched him walk out the front door. The height scale tape along the side of the door would have verified how tall he was.

Good point there!

They are both a legit 6'4.

I am 6'1 without shoes ... and I have to look up to talk to them (as well as all of the other DE's this year).

Under 40? Nope.

ahh, the Beechwood PR machine discounting the value of kids again. Keep telling yourself they don't matter because they aren't "starters" I guess that makes the coaching staff feel better.
