I think it'll be hard for KC to contend. Both times I watched them play last year, Smith I beleive is his name, the QB, was the heart and sole of that teams and it was big play after big play comming from him. and if I'm thinking right he graduated. Big time loss.

 

Corey Smith was one of my favorite players. His heart, intelligence, determination and leadership were the qualities coaches look for in a QB and the dropoff KC experience the last half of his Jr. season when Corey was injured demonstrates his importance to the team. Now, having said that, remember that Corey was 5-7, 150, and not quite the fastest or most athletic on the team. I'm sure there are a few good athletes with even more size and perhaps the same type of heart waiting in the wings.

 

I guess we'll find out this fall.

He definitely had that he carried them on his shoulders on several games someone will have some big shoes to fill next season.

Despite his size, I really enjoyed watching Smith play when I saw him, even though it was against Bell. Like Commander said, big time shoes for someone to fill, big play after big play for him. By saying I'm Looking for KC to drop off a bit isn't any kind of attack on KC at all to clarify it, just that Smith was that good for them. Seemed like besides McCarthy in the championship game Smith was the only one that could consistently and effectively move the ball on the Bell D last year.

Louisville Western is returning 9 starters on offense and 8 on defense. But most importantly the staff will have off season lifting & conditioning and a spring practice, neither of which they had last season.

Very true those two's numbers together were more than the other 13 teams rushing output combined. Including Boyle, Rock, Whitley and so on. :eek:

The Knox Central Panthers should be in good shape next season.They are working great in the wieght room from what I hear and that's where it all starts.They return a pack of good lineman along with there fullback.They have a few spots to fill on the defense side of the ball but got some good young kids to fill the spots.They will have a good young qb so there passing game should still be good but they will always be a great run team.

I wasn't sure on the numbers, but I knew those two alone would just pick holes out consistently. Thing was, none of them was easy yards picked up on wide open holes, Smith would break several tackles every time he'd pull it down and run. McCarthy done something I've personally not seen done in quite some time by just flat out running over some Bell defenders, and some of the most solid tacklers on the team. Was only taken down on a one on one type hit twice I beleive, both times by Josh Brown. I could be wrong, but I dont look for BE or KC to be as strong as they we're last year, losing those two guys hurt badly.

Keep in mind KC lost one of the most underrated players in the area in Carnes at HB.

I forgot about him. He was a good HB for KC last season and will be hard to replace. I think that KC will have a good team but I can't see them being as good as they were last season.

I think McCreary Central will be greatly improved. They have 20 kids back that started at least one game last year. The Weight Room work has been great, you can look at the kids and see the improvement. McCreary has 3 kids that are being looked at by several Colleges. They have a good Fr. class coming in, Led by Tyson Williams 6' 4" 235 TE,who could be a special player. They have another 10 to 12 kids that are better than average players. Could be a special Year if they can stay healthy.

If I'm reading this right,the 6'4 235 TE, is a freshman?!?:eek:

Yes a FR. comin-in. He is a good prospect. Started a couple Varsity Basketball Games this year.

Yes, he is very athletic and has great hands. He should be a difference maker in both football and basketball!

He sure sounds like it. Looks like he might have a good future ahead of him.

Someone said that he is the Football Coaches Grandson. Is that right?
