Ram Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 What does Central need to do to improve in 2009? What do they need to keep doing to be successful? Remember, please be constructive.
ftbll4life Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 Louisville Central, IMO will be one of the better teams in the state again next season. Rumors in Louisville is that their incoming Freshmen group is going to be outstanding. After winning two titles and beating Male, kids are starting to line up to get in there. LC will be around and on top for many years. Just my thought. Hard to believe, but they should be better next year than they were this past season. Returning 9 players that started on offense...an offense that avg. 42 points in the playoffs. All of their skill kids are returning. The question for this team is how do fill the gaps on defense. Tim Patterson and Micheal Lewis are the only returning starters. Both have started since they were Soph. Expect them to make a good push in the 2009 Playoffs.

It will be really interesting to see what kind of year Patterson has without the likes of Wilson and Cobble playing alongside him. I think he greatly benefitted from offenses needing to concentrate on those two. I love the King kid at qb. If he improves his accuracy passing the ball, he will be one tough dude at qb. Extremely fast, quick and shifty when running the ball. If defenses really have to start respecting his passing ability, he'll cause defensive coordinators fits this year. Think they will find a way to get the ball into Robinson's hands more often this year? With his speed, they should. I thought the defense was their strength last year and it seems like offense is going to be their strength this year, based on returning starters. I seriously doubt that there will be anyone else in 3A that will have the speed to hang with Central and expect them to go very deep and probably repeat, or at least make it to the title game.
ftbll4life Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 Your right, Patterson was the third person DC's had to worry about. Cobble always had a double team. However watching both him and Wilson play the LB position, Patterson is a better LB. I believe he shines this year. When we plays mad there is no one that can block this kid. Getting Robinson the ball should be at the top of Scroggins' spring list. I just don't see him lining up in the backfield alot. Central is loaded on offense, spreading that ball around is going to be a task. But he did a good job last season at getting everyone touches. Diaz Bolden, Gerald Young, Chris King, and that Freshmen RB (Wales #2) are names you are going to hear about.
ftbll4life Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 Central's defense showed the offense that they are still the main attraction to this team. Beating the offense of a score of 27 - 24. Led by Patterson, 10 young players showed they are able to step in the shoes of Ridge Wilson, Mister Cobble, and other departing seniors. (Lewis #8) did not play. Central held a Black and Gold Scrimmage last Friday with Refs and all. This program is becoming one of the better ones in Jefferson County. Rosters were handed out to 50 to 75 people that was at the game. There was a PA guy calling the game, along with music between plays. I was impressed. Patterson looks to have dropped a little weight. Ran down a couple of those speedy backs as well. He looks to be a step or two faster. Those younger defensive players really impressed me. It is going to be interesting to see if Scroggins can get this team back to the Championship game. The offense did not look as explosive as I thought it would be. King (#17 - QB) did not play, along with two of those returning linemen. Nevertheless, Diaz Bolden (#12) had some bright moments at QB. Robinson did what he wanted to do. He is by far the fastest and best WR in the state. The Wales kid, (#2) is the next big time RB. He had well over 100 yards rushing. Central is going to have him for 3 more years. Should be the next big star to come out of Central. This program is headed in all the right directions.
CoachJ Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 Wales kid is THE most elusive running back I think I've ever seen. And that's based on seeing him in a state-championship game as a FRESHMAN.
