Green County Returns a ton offensively, but lose one of the best players in our area in Noah Grey, who the dragons can't replace, but have to hope a committee of players can create some of the same things Grey was able to do on the field. The Dragons do return Blake Houchens and Julian Seymour along with Kelson McKinney and Zack Ferguson in the back field along with 4 of 5 starters on the offensive line and most of the Receiving core returns. 

Defensively they have some holes to fill. They again return Houchens and McKinney at linebacker spots and the entire secondary, but will need to fill the massive hole left by Noah Grey, Harley Montgomery, and Nathan Davis. Those three guys made a ton of tackles and leave some major shoes to fill. The dragons have to hope some guys come out to play this year that didn't the previous year, and help with depth and fill some of the holes left by graduation. The Dragons have a very good 8th grade class coming up, that is also a very large class, hopefully some are ready to contribute now and help with depth as well. I really think this Dragon team will score points in bunches, but have some major questions on defense. 

The Dragons should be a good team, but could take some lumps from a few teams while the new young guys grow into high school football. 

Toughest games on the board is Taylor and Hart. I could see these guys winning out reg season. Key players offensively Houchens Seymour McKinney Ferguson and Hodges. Hodges 2nd year playing football could be his most productive one. Like to see him used more as QB. Key Players Defensively  Houchens Seymour Ferguson Milby McKinney. The SR reset could be a big hit but I do belive they have people that can be moved into them spots to fill the gap. There 8th grade class moving up could be potentially missing pieces needed not counting new players that's gonna show up to play for this new coach. 

 

My thoughts are Undefeated Regular Season. They have the best duo running backs in 2A. I expect for both backs to have over 1000 yards rushing again. They have two other backs ready at any time needed in McKinney and Bale. One of the most Athletic Back Feilds in 2A. District is gonna be one sided. Defensively they will grow all season. This team is gonna be exciting to watch. If this team can develop a passing game they could make a potentially run against the usual top 4 teams. 

Not to shabby. 3 of Greens players from last year squad Darrian Mitchell, Jullian Seymour, and Gage Bell wins state championship in track in the 4x400 relay. They will return 2 of them this year in football.  Jake Bishop Jullian Seymour Darrian Mitchell Gage Bell places 7th place in state for the 4x200 relay. Returning 3 of 4 this season. Jullian seymour places 8th in 400m which returns. Jake Bishop places 8th in 110m hurdles which returns. Kelson McKinney  wins state championship in discus and 2nd in shotput which returns. Alot of talent on this young dragon team. These kids are putting small town Greensburg on the map. Excited to watch area football this year. Taylor vs Glasgow game is gonna be great. The Green Vs Taylor is gonna be a good game to watch. Bring on the pig skin. 

I will really be watching that Green versus Taylor game to see how both teams look. I’m assuming Metcalfe will be the main competition for Green in the district or did they lose to much to be competitive.

Saw Green County once last year and was really impressed with their skill. Lots of speed, as evidenced by their track success. Their numbers were very small, though. I suspect the success they had last season, the new facilities, and a head coach that seems very high energy will result in more kids on the sidelines this year.

They lost alot. But you can never count them out. I look for district being lopsided. Taylor and Green is gonna be the game to watch. Taylor has a good back feild and line. They will only get better. Green and Taylor match up pretty good imo. It will boil down to who wants it more.

I think your absolutely right. Who wants to play for a loosing football team. Except for you die hard kids. I've heard from some kids they have alot of new comers. Coach Phelps has truly got the kids to buy in. New feild should be done by start of season. If Green can develop a passing game they could truly make it pretty far this year. 

I believe the passing game will be in good shape, and only improve as the season progresses.

If your right they could possibly make it past the third round. Mayfield pretty much shut down the run for Green. Green was much one dimensional last season.  On the bright side all there running backs can catch. Blake and Jullian can play any postion on the feild. Hopefully these off season camps can improve there over all ability as a team. Hard work will always pay off.

I'm headed back there on Friday for more QB work. They are working to be much better in the passing game. I believe it will pay off. Hard work and focus on areas to improve can go a long way. 

 

Here is the Green County turf as of this morning. Houston Hodges had an excellent workout. TE, Kelson McKinney, showed up to catch balls for the workout. Got a good feeling about the 2022 Green Dragons!

From what I'm hearing. Green co showed out on the 7v7 at Woodford. Making it to the semis lost to the team that won it all. Sounds like they may be on to something. Not bad for a small 2A school

I was able to catch some of the passing league games this past week, and the Dragons are as athletic as I have seen a Dragons team in years. Houchens and Seymour looked 2-3 steps faster than last year, and Hodges and Ferguson threw the ball very well. The Dragons are going to be extremely fast on the edges and the back half of the defense. This type of complete field speed is something I haven't seen from them in years. 

I'm not sure how the Line is going to play out, but if they come together and give those guys with the ball even a small hole, those guys are fast enough to break one at any time. The Dragons also showed some real ability to throw it this past week, which should really help open holes in the running game. The Dragons will need a passing game to keep teams honest, and push further into the playoffs, and the passing league showed they are well ahead of last year with throwing the ball. Should be a good year in Dragon Country.
