Somerset's 8th grade team is coming off an undefeated season in which they won their conference and beat Corbin's previously undefeated bunch twice. They should have at least 3 players that see time this year. Trey Slaughter a FB/LB will probably start, Storm Wilson a WR/S will see lots of reps on offense and C/DT Taylor Speaks could see signifigant minutes on the line. All 3 could be special players if they work hard and stay injury free. There's 3-4 more that could see action on special teams. The Jumpers will be young this season.

The Jumpers are done. They have completely folded again after the All A Tourney. They are now 1-4 with that lone win coming against Monticello. Yes 3 of those games have been to the top 3 teams in the 12th Region but they've lost all those games by at least 13 points. If you want to be considered a regional contender you have to beat some of the other contenders. Somerset's season ended with their loss to Murray--Cumberland will beat them at the Patch on Friday and Rockcastle will win by double digits at home leaving the Jumpers at 1-6 since Richmond. I hope I'm wrong about this but it doesn't look good.

This should not come as any suprise. In the Shawn Thacker era at Somerset his teams have traditionally been bad after their elimination from the All A Classic. Perhaps too much emphasis is put on that tourney. I think the majority of Somerset fans would prefer to make a trip to Rupp than to win the All A Championship. Take a look at these numbers and see what you think. Year...............Pre All A............Post All A 99-00.............8-10.................6-7 00-01.............18-4.................3-5 01-02.............18-4.................5-4 02-03.............10-11................3-5 03-04.............10-8..................4-5 04-05.............18-4..................4-3 05-06.............15-5..................5-2 06-07.............11-10................3-5 07-08.............16-6..................0-2 Totals.........124-62 .667 % .......33-38 .465 % More importantly only 3 12th Region appearances with a record of 0-3. Even the year that SHS went 5-2 post All A they were upset in the first round of the district. Something has to give. Nice win for Wayne County who should move into 3rd place in everyone's 12 Region Rankings--Somerset will be fortunate to win more than 1 game this season (Monticello and that one is on the road)--Rockcastle will probably be favored at home in the district.

Rose Hill = Overrated
