What does Madisonville-North Hopkins need to do to improve in 2016? What do they need to keep doing to be successful? Remember, please be constructive.

Madisonville went 4-6 last regular season and lost to Franklin-Simpson in the first round of the playoffs. I look for them to win 5 games this year with an outside shot at a sixth. Their offense will be somewhat improved this year with a more solid offensive line to work with and some speed in the backfield.

The defense should be much improved with a solid looking secondary that added a few kids from the basketball team.

District will probably come down to the Maroons and Calloway Co. battling for second place behind Hoptown. I think Coach Burgett and his staff will have a lot of ups and downs this season but, the future looks very bright. They have a ton of talent coming up in the Soph. and Fresh. classes.

One of the Fresh. off/def linemen was just voted Defensive MVP of the KY/Tenn Future Stars game this past weekend at WKU.

Jordan Vaughn was the soon to be freshman that won Defensive MVP in the Future Stars game. The kid has a ton of potential and should play at the next level with proper coaching and a good work ethic. I would think he would be an immediate starter and impact player on the defensive side of the ball for Madisonville.

He was one of the 13 incoming freshmen who made up the 13U FCS national title team that played in Dallas between last Christmas and New Years.
