What does Madison Southern need to do to improve in 2009? What do they need to keep doing to be successful? Remember, please be constructive.

The future of Madison Southern looks bright. The team has worked their tails off this winter and Coach Brumley deserves the credit for teaching these kids hard work. Southern will be led by Seniors Rico Brown (RB/DB), Caleb Morris (G/NG), and Nate Gibson (T/DE). Southern will have a ton of team speed, and OL play should determine if Southern can rebound from a disappointing 2008. Southern will also have a very good Freshman class coming in and I look for 1 or two of them to help out fairly quickly. I feel like Southern will get in the playoffs this year, and many teams will overlook this team because of last year. Southern returns almost every starter from last year, and Sophomore QB Chris Roberts should raise a few eyebrows. Chris started 8 games as a freshman last year and has grown over the winter. Everybody knows about Rico Brown, but his able running mate Devon Johnson should close in on 1000 yards as well. Coach Brumley has worked extremely hard after the way the program was left, and from what my boys tell me the team really rally's behind their coach. Expectations are on the rise in Berea. This team is loaded with Sophomores and Juniors and with the Freshman class having some contributors the Eagles may be flying high.

Good luck to Southern, I know several of the younger guys on the team and wish them the best.

I watched the MS and MC game last year and after looking at MS schedule last year I don't know how anyone can overlook this team. They are loaded with talent and speed and are very capable of puting big numbers up offensively but just like MC they need to work on their defense because the name of the game is out scoring your opponent. I wish Madison So. all the luck in the world for 2009 and hope they win every game but 1.

The Eagles are 1-19 over the past 2 years after going 0-10 in 2008. They have a long way to go. Goodluck.

I agree I think if they have 3 or 4 wins it will be an improvement does anyone know their schedule.

I can not remember who the other game is. :ohbrother:

 

Looks like they have some winnable ballgames early next season.

People need to keep an eye on Rico Brown. He has already had visits to Wake Forest, Louisville, Cincinnati, UK, and Western. All of these schools are on him, but yet he is still under the radar. This may be the most hard working kid in the state. He pushes his teammates, and holds everyone including himself accountable. My son talks about how positive a person he is. With help from his team, this kids could be very very special.

If all those schools are "on him" then how is he still under the radar?

Rico is under the radar. Coaches at the highschool and college level know all about him, but he has not received the "pub" that many other talented kids have gotten in this state. Yes, I know that has to do with his team, but he is a certified stud who will play big time D-1 football.

If he were a certified can't miss stud he would already have division 1 offers. Does he have any?

Well he is a junior and he has time to make his decision. Wake Forest, Louisville, and Western contact him all the time and UK has just now begun to show interest. Anyway, I do feel Southern has the capability to be a .500 or over team. The main concern with them is depth. If Southern can stay away from the injury bug this will be a very competitive team.

So the answer is no.
