FWIW,

Looking at Etown and it looks like they are getting hit very hard by graduation as well. Almost all their offensive production and several key playmakers on defense as well.

Belfry, CAL, DeSales, Russell, and Ashland all will be losing the brunt of their production.

On paper, Glasgow & Mercer County look to have the most coming back from teams who were in the hunt in 2020. Bell County should be improved.

 

E-town does have a very deep and rather talented Sophomore class (to be Juniors)- about 20 or so.   A few of them started (Prather 84 at TE & Durbin 2 at ILB) this year, along with Gregory (6 at OLB).  Several others would have started for many others in 3A, but didn’t this year  due to how deep and talented this years senior class was.  You can’t lose that much talent and not expect to fall back somewhat, especially maybe early on in 21, but “fall back” is all relative.     Well coached.  Talented.  Great facilities.  Great town.  Etown won’t fade off into the night, that’s for sure. 
 

Bardstown will be back in the thick of things next year.  They have to replace their QB- Clark (two best QBs in 3 and top 6-8 Q’s overall in the state were in the same district) along w some others, but Bardstown has a ‘23 talent in TJ Greenwell..that, well, get used to hearing the name.

Greenwell was Bardstown’s leading rusher this year with 844/13 to go along with 243/3 in receiving. 
 

Their 2nd leading rusher was FRESHMAN, Tyleeq Williams, who went for 482/4.

They also return their leading WR in Sophomore, Shannon Tongue.

As well as several linemen.  See Etown? See Bardstown.
