Coach NotNow

I agree. Pop Warner implemented new rules in 2012 about contact during practice. Also limited the head on blocking and tackling drills to 3 yards. Which keeps kids from just smashing each other like Big Horn Sheep. I was wondering if any of the youth football organizations in this area have followed suit?

I heard the guard from SK I believe Sandlin (hope I spelled that right) benches over 400. UKfan can you confirm that?

Great point. It most certainly gives pass heavy teams more time to perfect routes, timing, reads etc. Run heavy teams could use that time to perfect O line footwork on all blocks, QB's and RB's footwork, timing, fakes etc. That's just a few of the things but you get my point.

I guess I will answer the above question because it seems to have been skipped over. It's 0. If one would have to eat crow for misjudging talent he would never get the black feathers picked from his teeth. Now, that being said, in Independence the term DI is thrown around more than a 85 Ford Escort in the demolition derby at the Kenton County Fair. One should really use more restraint when it comes to using the term DI.

Totally agree!

Is Mulberry a soph, jr, senior? Was he a DB last year?

I was wondering who from SK you were going to add to this list.

It will be Racke.

That's the right spot for Simon Kenton. Simply too many question marks for this team. Defense and QB being the main ones. Only 4 returning starters on defense with zero returning starters in the secondary. Secondary is the big question mark on D. Looks like a couple of sophomores Kincaid and Book will see plenty of playing time both are very talented but still young. I do remember Winkler coming in last year during injuries to play corner and I think safety. Will we see Marksberry use him both ways this year? QB play will be big for this team. Racke is going to have to pass the ball to stop teams from stacking 8-9 in the box. Everyone knows Simon will be run heavy this year. They have the talent but being young in key spots.......only time will tell.
