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

You will likely hear the name Tyler Whetstine a lot when attending Colonel games this fall the junior accumulated 31 catches 485 yards and 5 TD's on the offensive side of the ball and 134 tackles, 3 fumble recoveries, and 3 interceptions on defense last season 2nd only to his junior counterpart Dalton Williams who racked up 144 tackles.

 

The key for the Colonels and some one maybe able to answer this question is who will get the ball to Whetstine and flashy WR Titus Ransom who could arrive onto the scene this season after showing flashes last season. The Colonels have been grooming Austen Hamelback to take over at QB since he was in middle school but with the likes of Clay Bolin behind center it's easy to see why Hamelback hasn't seen much time. Another young man with loads of athleticism is Trevor Lucky, the problem presenting itself maybe Lucky can play many positions including WR whereas Hamelback is a QB.

 

Some other names I'll be keeping an eye on are WR/DB Gage Robinson, and OL/LB Zach Hawkins. I've been waiting on Jonathan Duncan to explode onto the scene and with the backfield wide open this could be his year to showcase his talents. A young man who could show out this year but may be a year off is CaMarr Myers.

 

Kyle Bradford is also a heavy hitter and should be right up there with Williams and Whetstine as leaders on the defensive side of the ball.

 

I've also heard there maybe some new talent in Paris. So I expect the Colonels D to be stout, while their offense takes some time to find themselves. Key players are all juniors so should be very memorable season next year.

Optimistically predicting a 8-2 finish. #HomerStatus
