This is possibly the best team to ever come out of Williamsburg.

I do not think they need to do away with football, if you are going to fix a football program you can not start at the High school you have to start at the bottom and put in a system that will help you develop players at a young age. I do not know what kind of little league football program they have in McCreary County but that is where you have to start fixing the problem. I know at Williamsburg they redone there entire little league program a while back. They have switched to 8 man football and put an emphasis on the skills that they will use in High School for example everything is ran out of shotgun and you have to have certain formations and us the same terminology as the high School team. They have put in several rules such as every child has to play a certain amount of time in each game, on defense you have to play head up on the Defensive line and the linebackers have to be at least 3 yards of the line of scrimmage when the ball is snapped. The emphasis is not on winning but on learning the correct fundamentals and the terminology so they will be ready to play at the next level. They currently have about 170 kids playing little league football and that is pretty good for any program. Since this program has been in place they have had winning seasons every year in middle school (including 1 State Championship) and have a really good high school program. You just have to get everyone involved and on board, especially the high school Coach. I Know that Coach Herron is at every Little League that is played watching and even helping the little league coaches. I think that McCreary County Football can be fixed it will just take a lot of hard work by everyone involved.
