What does Grant County need to do to improve in 2010? What do they need to keep doing to be successful? Remember, please be constructive.

The Braves will be coming off a 3-7 season but only graduated 8 seniors. They return 7 on offense and 8 on defense. They played a lot of young kids last year. They will still be young but with the return of Justin Loomis at running back and linebacker, he was out due to injury and is back stronger and more determined than ever. He will be a force next year. They return 4 out of 5 on the o-line, their QB and WR who will just be sophomores. They add Tyler Robinson and Dustin Haar in the backfield that are very talented sophomores. Look for Seniors to be Robbie Kohler, Brian Mullins, Brandon Holder and Preston Cahill to lead the Braves on the offensive side of the ball along with Loomis.

 

On the defensive side of the ball, all the d-line is back, Loomis is back to linebacker along with returning starters from last year, Lucas Button, Adam Keller, in the secondary Nick Cox will return at corner and freshman two way starter Shelby Caudill will be back at safety. There is good team speed and strength on this side of the ball. There will be several up and coming players challenging for spots on defense which will make the braves the deepest they have been since Davis took over the 5 years ago.

 

Overall the team will have a lot of players playing both sides of the ball that can contribute. They will still be young, but the experienced gained by the young braves last year will play major role in the success of the team this year. They have a lot of young talented players that are lineman and skilled kids, should be fun to watch them grow as a team and get back on the winning track

Braves1, what style of ball will the Braves be playing? Didn't get to see them any last year, but might get the chance this season.

 

Grant's a pretty good-sized school; how much have they managed to build the roster?

 

In looking at the district, how do you think they shake out? Looks like the rest of the district will all be rebuilding to some degree in the sense that all will have question marks. Oldham looks solid, but will have to find a new QB to run the "O"...South Oldham has a new coach, Anderson graduated the key players that fueled their run over the past three years, and I'm hearing conflicting stories out of Jtown about returning players... How do the Braves figure in all of this?

 

The Grant coaches have done a great job at a school that was never a historic football power. Best of luck to them this year!

My old friend Coach Davis is doing a great job making that team very competitive and he will continue to do so.

Coach Davis is a good man and has done a nice job developing the total program there. I know a couple of years ago I worked an NFLPD camp in Lexington and they had a slew of middle school kids they brought in for the camp.
