No one seemed to have a problem with Dunbar's system last year. Why now?

 

Please no one say that last year's Dunbar team was left over players from the previous coaching staff. The last year at Dunbar before Coach Hensley they were 4-6 with not making the playoffs and then they go 10-3 with a regional runner up.

 

The offensive system is fine. It scored points last year for Dunbar and three years at East Jessamine and even 21 points on the 3A State Champion Highlands so I really don't think that is a very good argument.

They seemed to pass a lot more last year with Franklin at quarterback and Greg Couch serving as offensive coordinator.

They lost their QB and most all of their recievers from last year due to graduation. Their top skill players are running backs, and most of them are sophmores. Running the ball gives them the best chance to win.

Dunbar did pass a little more last year but Chris Franklin was a senior at quarterback along with Will Wright, Fullback, Mike Sweat Tailback, Keith Bailey Wide Out, and Jeremy Bruck Wideout with a couple of other senior receivers who played as well at receiver.

 

Dunbar had the most returning players at the offensive line on offense. Jerrell was the only skill kid that was returning who had a little playing time from last year and he was out for the first four games.

 

Dunbar is young now but very good in the sophmore class.

 

Let's be real here too. Dunbar didn't exactly play Lafayette non district schedule either. I would like to see Lafayette, Tates Creek etc. play MBA, Ryle, PRP, and maybe the easiest was Madison Central who Tates Creek beat in overtime as well as Dunbar. Their records would change a little too.

At the start of the year, I thought Dunbar might be one of the teams to beat in the district, even though they lost some good skilled personnel, due to their strength on the offensive and defensive lines. On the other hand, I thought Henry Clay might experience some difficulty having to replace their entire offensive and defensive lines, not to mention also having to replace a three year starter at quarterback.

 

So much for what I thought! Dunbar not winning a game really is shocking. Obviously, there are other issues because they must have pretty good talent.

Well said!

Final score 42-3 Henry Clay.
