Very immpressive win.

The Powers kid does not deserve that kind of cirtisism Jones isn't the best back in the world people are just mad because Powers has out done Jones and will continue to do so throught the entire season.

 

 

 

It wasn't a critisism, and I don't think I would go as far as to say that the Powers kid will out do the Jones boy. First of all the Powers kid only plays offense, the Jones boy plays both ways. I agree, the Powers kid is a great player and deserves his fair share. I just beleive that the Jones boy deserves to touch the ball more than two times per game. From what I understand the Jones boy get's the ball at practice over 90% of the time. Why not try giving it to him in the ball game. Did you not see the hurt he put on the Middlesboro player when he was running the ball? No doubt he would have made a touchdown if he would have had some blocking. He has put his time in, just like the other players, and maybe a little more ( I am talking about all the weight lifting, he looks like he spends alot of time in the weight room.) It's not a contest between the two boys, they are team mates and are both out there giving their all to win, as a team. Whitley has alot of talent, the coaches should try utilizing all of it, who knows what Great things could happen.

Very well said. :thumb: Too many schools in the state and nation have never been able to build successful programs because of the negative "me-first" mentalities you mentioned.

 

I don't know where you got "me first" from. The point I was trying to make was that the Jones boy needs his share of carries. I also think that # 23 needs to touch the ball. The problem is that Whitley has so much talent , that the coaches apparently don't know how to utilize it. They need to have more than 3 or 4 plays. And yes, it was a great win and an excellent start to the season, but if only two boys get the ball, after a couple games everyone will know what to do, it will be just like the old Whitley County . There are more than two players that need to run the ball. If you want to use the term "me first" you might want to think about using it properly. Football consist of many players, just not two.

It is completely evident you know nothing about the type of offense the Colonels are running, which looks very good. It is option football.

Great win for the Colonels, keep on rollin.

 

BuDo!

Let Jim Black coach his way and Whitley will be fine. He is a great coach.

Way to go Colonels!

Is Middlesboro down this year?

This is not little league and nobody deserves anything. They get the carries/touches that coaches feel they need for the TEAM to win the games. If you want to change the way it is done go somewhere and get a coaching job and stop stiring things up. :thumb:

From what I saw, Whitley was using the fullback and having success, along with the QB keeping it on the optioin. Why use something and show it when you don't have to. I Think Whitley has THREE TO FIVE backs who can put up big numbers, but there is only one football. TO WIN IN A TEAM SPORT YOU HAVE TO HAVE A TEAM AND EVERYONE HAS TO BUY IN!!!!!!!

 

As far as the game, Whitley just dominated from the get go, it was a shock to me to be honest I expected the offense but the defense just out hit and out hustled Middlesboro. Who had the BIGGEST hit? #2, #33, #42, #23, #60, #56, #27????? Those were all huge hard clean hits, when you have that many guys hitting hard, well, you have something buid on.

Yes I think so don't have alot of experience coming back this year except for Adams.

You are right. Whitley has 11 kids on defense that will hit you. The answer to your ? is all the above.
