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

Etown was hit extremely hard by graduation.

 

Coach Brown will basically have to replace every bit of his Offensive production

They will, but don't be shocked to see this bunch finish 7-3, 8-2 & maybe even better. Like their senior class this year, their Junior to be bunch is deep in numbers (they're around that 20 mark) & talented. Several of them would not have only started, but shined for many 3A clubs this year; namely a pair of RB's in Derek Smith and Jay Becherer (he & his brother who was a senior, transferred in from Collins over the summer).

 

That bunch won their Hardin-Meade County regular season conference as 8th graders, and I believe this year's 8th graders did as well (includes North, Central and John Hardin feeder schools as well as Meade County). E-town isn't going anywhere, IMO. We all know what talent and coaching equals.

I seen their JV team play and looked to have some very talented players coming through the ranks.

The 2016 squad does have a talented group of Juniors coming in. They did win their regular season conference championship in 8th grade and were only bested that season by a Bluegrass Middle school which featured Anthony Witherspoon. This years 8th grade group won the regular season championship and made it to the final four of state. Lots of talent in both of those groups. Tons of skill players. They key will be how the line develops and if they are able to add some size. I expect them to have a good season this year, win district and have a decent run in the playoffs. I think the 2017 season you could see a run like they had this year or better.
