South Oldham Dragons

[FootballisKing]

Now that the well wishes for Oldham Co. and North Oldham have been given, the question becomes why is South Oldham so bad?

 

They had every bit as many and as good athletes as the other 2 teams. So don't say athletic ability. Their coach was the O coordinator when they were in the top 10 in scoring. They scored in almost every game this year. Defensively I think they gave up around 45 points a game. That seems to be the biggest issue.

 

All three teams have athletes. All 3 teams play younger kids. All three teams have coaches that are relatively new.

 

Where is the disconnect? Anybody know?

 

Col. Mike, you seem to be very plugged into football in Oldham County, what are your thoughts?

 

:confused:

South didnt seem to have the type of talent as Oldham County. Oldham County has several studs, with a few of them getting D-1 looks.

Biggest issue was overwhelming YOUTH. 54 of 74 roster players were sophomores or freshmen... Though talented, they were physically, emotionally, and mentally not as mature as their opponents, and far less experienced. Tough combo.

 

If the coaches can keep the kids' heads up and their minds focused, better days are ahead.

Wow, that is a ton of underclassmen. The future may be very bright.

Not just "underclassmen", but "sophomores & freshmen"!

I agree. Although South had several seniors that were pretty good such as Kollenburg, he was surrounded by freshmen/sophomores. If those numbers you mentioned are correct and they all stay out, then they should be really solid in a few years.
