If SW doesn't have a drop off in talent, we are all in trouble. I think Franklin Simpson will be the 2nd best team in region 1.

Athleticism has nothing to do with discipline my man...there are plenty of undisciplined athletes around. Discipline takes you to another level, which is where John Hardin will need to get to. With that being said, they will need to get some depth at the o-line position to start talking championship though. I heard some names that might be starting on the o-line and those names make me a little nervous. Witherspoon is a good talent; he isn't the most talented in the region...he hasn't played an organized sport in over a year. But overall the talent on the team is incredible, most football junkies however know that the game is won in the trenches; and this is where I think JH might come up short.

You are taking my post out of context. I never tied discipline to athleticism. I merely said that they have a bunch of athletes but that they are limited by the lack of discipline within the program. I know some trainers at EAC that commented on Witherspoon and his athleticism. Another great athlete in the region that comes to mind would be Darious Barbour at Central Hardin.

@Hardin County Preps...I got you. I was commenting as to what Spinstopshere said about athleticism and talent. It sounded like he was trying to link the two together.

athleticism and brains or discipline i have known alot athletes from the neck down they don't go very far.Your true athletes are more than how fast or how high i can jump.

Any player that plays the game smart is usually the one of the best athletes on the field. Most likely, those who are disciplined are less likely to make mistakes and give their full effort. This is a concern I have with JH.

 

On the other end, I don't see anyone on the same level as South Warren until I'm proven otherwise. Good luck to all teams, hoping to make it to the SW/FS game this season!!

My brothers, I don't really know this athlete/discipline thing got here but you can be very very very athletic; and not have any discipline. Back to the real issue; John Hardin had their scrimmage yesterday against Daviess County. Just like most people thought; the O-line is the one of the biggest concerns for this team. The discipline is a concern but it's not as big this year with this group. They will as a team; have to learn to accept their individual roles to make the team better. Every player and their parent associated with John Hardin typically believes their son is the best player on the team. And they pout and disrupt chemistry when they don't get playing time or play at a position they think they should be playing. It is the same issue with the bball team, soccer team, baseball team etc. etc. This is the nature of a transient team (a lot of military kids and parents). And football probably more than most other sports demands team unity and chemistry. This will be John Hardin's biggest challenge
