@MaddenCurse44, what do you say?

Without me really digging in and just using my old memory I am thinking 5-5 again.

Wins: Mercer, Conner, Dunbar, Campbell County, Ashland

Campbell County and Ashland will be extremely close could easily be losses if not on your A game.

On the other hand, Dixie, Great Crossings could be a winnable game.

With all that babbling I see anywhere from a 3-7 to a 7-3 season, so that’s why I’m going for the middle record of 5-5.

August yet?

[MaddenCurse44]

I looked for the offense to be explosive. They have alot of depth. I'm praying they have fixed the defense this year.

Mercer County I believe. 

[MaddenCurse44]

Wouldn't be surprised to see Sophomores to be Anthony Sparkman 5'11 260 and Cohen Endicott 5'10 260 to start on the dline.

They will win at least 8 Beechwood and CovCath will be close games.

To me this sounds like the classic "copy and paste" situation.

Off-season of They will win 7-9 games. Have an explosive offense and need to fix the defense.

Regular season win 3-5 games. Offense scores points and the defense can't stop anyone.

Complain about the coaching and injuries till Dec 31.

Rinse and Repeat.

This is critical, and a recurring issue for the Pioneers. Since the KHSAA went to a six class system in '07, SK is giving up nearly 45 points per game in their playoff losses.

The defense has been bad since Herbst went to Dayton.

Is there a reason for so many road games up front? Stadium alterations or just the way the schedule broke.

Think that is just the way it worked out.
