How will Walton Verona look this year?

Here is the information I have been told about the 2016 Bearcats

 

This is a list of the some of the top returning players

 

Mason Smith QB/RB/OLB

Ben Brown QB/RB/OLB

Scott Pettyjohn RB/CB

Micah Alford MLB/FB

Zach Clinkenbeard WR/FS

Hunter Ruber MLB/FB

Colton Catlet DE/NG

Aaron Tiepe G/MLB

Ethan Quatkemeyer T/DT

Logan Boone T/DT

Hunter Michael G/DE

 

The offensive/defensive line should be in good shape. Based on the experience of the returning players.

 

The defense will be led by the Senior MLB Hunter Ruber.

 

The offense will need to fill some holes with the loss of Page, Poore, and Richardson. They do have a large amount of skill players who will be looking to fill those positions.

 

One thing for sure is that Coach Barth will put a competitive team on the field.

 

Good luck Bearcats!!!!

Reports are mid-20s to low-30s consistently this offseason. Solid for a 2A school that shares a lot of athletes with other sports. Interesting year for the Bearcats who lost most of their offensive production but return a lot up front.

Watching many football games in 2A last year, I think 2A football may be sleeping on these Bearcats. Beinf I saw above Mason Smith will be back, he will have a great year playing QB, which is a needed spot. Having Clinkenbeard, Pettyjon skill players. The OL will be solid, returning 3 starters in Quatk, Catlett and Micharl. Senior LB Ruber will have to take some carries as well. The defense will be the strong point again. Although losing line backers, the 3 man wrecking Crew of Ruber, Catlett, and Michael will be solid. Ruber looking for another 100 tackle season, while Catlett is returning well from a knee injury that I understand was tough on the eye. He and Michael will be chasing Sack totals for the Bearcats the next 2 years in blue and white. Expect These 3 to have an outstanding year for the Bearcats. Don't sleep on Barth and his Bearcats!!

The Bearcats should be better this year.Key is going to be line play on both sides. Offensively they need to move people better this year and defensively they need to occupy blockers and let the Lb's play free.

There is a rumor flying around that Kyle England from Ryle is going to WV?? Anyone know if that is true?

If that is in fact true that is pretty big.

That would be HUGE! That kid is the real deal! I have heard he is not happy at Ryle, due to his brother not getting many carries last year as a senior.

It is not true.

Still staying with Ryle I assume?

:lol2: :lol2: :lol2:

As talented a group as I have seen at WV but young.

Sophomore class won Northern KY middle school title as eighth graders & is very talented group. They had several varsity contributors as freshmen. Tyler Schrader started DB last year (& was solid), Kameron Pardee started at WR (until an injury took him out) , Grant Grubbs started OLB last half of the season (& ended up being the third leading tackler for the season), Micah Alford contributed solid minutes, & Logan Boone a 300+ NG/OG sat out with a knee injury. Combine this group with those mentioned above & you have a solid nucleus. Unfortunately, with low class sizes, some talented players deciding not to play, & some players switching schools, the Bearcats will need to keep everyone healthy & see underclassmen develop quickly in order to continue to improve.

That is the same story I heard, but not the same school.
