What does Boone County need to do to improve in 2016? What do they need to keep doing to be successful? Remember, please be constructive.

This year's juniors are going to have to step up next year as seniors. This class had more success as freshman than any other class at Boone for some time. Many of them started and played significant time on varsity this year. I see the offensive line as a strength for the team. just about all positions on the OL have good experience the last two seasons.

 

Skill positions are a question for me. I don't have much knowledge of what is in the pipeline here. I liked Cahill's running style last year. He runs hard and is quick. Douglas has great speed and he may see time at WR and/or RB. Anybody know if the QB position is set or is there going to be a competition at this position until someone emerges as the clear leader?

 

I didn't see any JV games last year and don't know what the current sophomore class, next year's juniors, are going to contribute. There are several athletes that I know of who can play. And if the bigs can stay healthy, there are some who should be able to give some relief time to the starters.

 

One important component of next year's team will be how many of this year's freshman (next year's sophomores) will be able to fill some of the holes in the starting line-up. I think that several of them will need to step up into starting roles on next year's varsity team and this is a big jump for them to make. Time in the weight room will be important this off-season and hitting a growth spurt about now would be helpful.

 

There is not a lot of depth on the roster so overall team health will be a big factor in any success they hope to have.

Here is the list of kids they return that will be Seniors and Juniors.

I should have said that several of next year's sophomores will need to be capable of significant playing time. I don't know that any will start.

I think Boone will be better, but I don't know that their W/L record will change much. But if they can somehow find 1 or 2 wins it will be an improvement.

Is this an average sized team for a high school in Kentucky? I don't see much height or weight on there.

I hope Jayveon Johnson has a big year.

Is that another kid that you have adopted since you have none of your own that are playing?

Probably got film on him

I think so, for the most part.

Excuse me? He played for SK and moved to Boone County.

Well, unfortunately, we (Boone County H.S.) didn't win a game last year. I think you can infer from that that this is not an averaged sized team in KY. We looked small compared to most of our opponents.

 

But, we have some great kids and football players, you know, "the size of the fight in the dog kinda kids." I would love to see some kids with size show up in the weight room this winter/spring but you go with what you got. BTW, Chandler Feinauer, one of our linebackers who is under 6' and maybe 200 lbs, is as strong as they come and will put a wallop on anybody.

 

Jayveon Johnson is a solid football player. He is a beast on the D-line. Glad he's at Boone County even if he did come by way of Independence. SK got a few of our better football players in recent years, too.

Thanks for the honest answer. My wife's family is from Boone and we used to play them when I was in high school so I have a soft spot for them.

Boone scrimmages Cooper this year?
