POwell co. Football???????? I can only hope that they improve and they just might. They will be better suited in the new district alignment next year and new classification.

This Year...Are You CRAZY???? Not This Year I Dont Think

[Golden Eagle]

How good are Powell's feeder schools?

[DEVILOLOGIST]

I asked the same question and have yet to find out.

[playmaker11]

Powell has awesome younger schools. About 50 on the youth league teams and almost 40 on the 7th and 8th grade. I don't know why they don't come out for the varsity level.

[win-fest#32]

do u think that powell will have a good future..?
i think powell is going to be great next year with a great qb in #2 and his leadership in his team. coaches are doin a great job giving all that they have to these kids. im lookin forward to see how far #2 goes in his football career. the only problem i see is the o-line hope they can make that work. good luck

[DEVILOLOGIST]

Anyone want to hook me up with the JFL president to schedule games. We may look at running a tourney at Russell the weekend before Halloween, Raceland runs a tournet the weekend of Halloween, This way teams could get some time in to play.. Both tourneys.... Yes a football tourney, you win you keep playing, You can PM me on here to pass on the information.

[Battle Tested]

i would like to see them do well but it may be for a long time. but hay the right coach and a little tallent and they could get it going.

[ur_#1_fan]

IMO powell will be losing quite a few good players next year. Such as Jon Shriner, and Cody Lopez. Hopefully we'll have some talent coming up. I agree with you about #2, there is room for improvement but he is doing great so far.

[Big Dirty #4]

Unless the participatioon rate goes up i dont see too much light for the future. Although they do have a great freshman class and another great class coming from the middle school next year. Best of luck to them on next year though i'm sure the coaches will work hard to make this a winning program in Stanton.:letsparty :Cheerlead :Cheerlead

[playmaker11]

powell is #1 baby

[NYY10]

Powell ias good

[RB#2]

Powell is a good team...i believe they will have a good future also.

[MR.PERFECT]

Same ole story up there until the administration goes out and gets a solid head coach.
The turn around begins at the top and total changes all around are going to have to be made. They need a guy from there who is coaching and had success at a program and mabey the guy has even played some college ball. Until total comittment to change is made it will never change and that's the bottom line. I know this for a fact.

[MR.PERFECT]

No1 in what?
You got some dedicated guys running the little league but the middle school program is as bad as it gets. The high school program is even worse. The only fun these kids have is playing little league. Kids know what they're facing and they simply wont play until Powell gets a guy in there who knows how to motivate kids to play.

[14thRegionPlayer]

If all of the little league kids stay togerther throughout high school they may have a winning record for the first time in powell county history

[oscarmoore1]

i agree but why is everyone always putting down powell co coaching staff??I mean come on there doing there best

If the middle school football is os bad then tell me why there 2-0

[MR.PERFECT]

You guys don't have a clue. Swim was the only good middle school coach they ever had. He saw the writing on the wall and got out. Hey, I cant blame you for not being on the same page as the high school. I might just turn that program around someday, Could happen, Mabey even next year. Alot of demands will have to be met though.

[MR.PERFECT]

Doing there best for guys who know nothing about football. But that is the administration's fault. How many guys on that staff played college ball? How many guys on that staff coached high school ball? I know what your going to say but if you research it you'll find 3 or 4 guys on that staff never ACTUALLY coached high school football. Alot of guys can claim to have, But if you check this out you'll find my conclusion may be correct. Check with coaches they supposedly coached with and see what you find out. Dont let them give you a guy to check with , Do it on your own. How many coaches hang around on Friday night that aren't high school coaches?
Do your own checking.

[MR.PERFECT]

Not breaking any rules, I never named any specific names. Never singled any one out or tried to point out an exact person or name. I could be talking about anyone or any coach as long as I dont name or single out an individual. Never pointed out anyone specifically on the above post. Never named anyone to an exact.

[DEVILOLOGIST]

Got it Mr. Perfect,, I understand your point..... If you are talking about the good Ole boy syndrome it is everywhere..... If you are a good ole boy and want to help, you can..... Butif you want to be a winning program you have to have someone who knows how to coach... or can work great with kids and get them to do what you want them to do..... Good ole boys dont always cut it.... look at records to find out.

[sports_fan]

I personally think Powell's High School football will improve throughtout this year because with the talent and potential of this year's team, the start of to improvement will come, but with the lack of support and belief in the team only knocks the team down farther, and they have VERY little support right now...but we'll see

[sports_fan]

what is everyone's problem with powell's coaches? the reason powell never has good coaches is because of the put-downs from everyone...the put-downs run them off, so therefor no one "good" or w/e will come to powell because nothing is ever good enough for anyone....IMO

[qb destroyer]

coach jones has no support from the administration and he has won a state championship while in college and played football all his life. he gives 110% to that program. until you change the mentality of the administration that all their is to life is basketball the coaches will always be fighting to get what they need. their is a load of talent of coming up and their is good talent staying. the only real player that they are losing is john shriner. they still have some good defensive backs such as howell staying.

[Getum-Choppin]

Sports fan your not accurate at all. The reason Coach Jones doesnt have good coaches is because they wouldnt hire him any. There were teaching openings that could have been filled with coach/teachers who had expirience but they elected to make him up a staff of unexpirieced coaches. They could have done better than that.
Certain people from Powell and no where else are the ones who start rumors and get people fired. Your also wrong about as to why coaches wont come to Powell. They see its a Basketball at all costs and football gets what they get type place. T5hey also know they wont hire them quality help but they will just get a couple guys who teach but know nothing about football and say there you go, make the best of it.
Powell is lucky to have coach Jones and he has put up with it when the administration has given him nothing or support.

[DEVILOLOGIST]

How many past players are helping with the Powell Co. system including the JFL.??
How many coaches have played at Powell Co.??????

[90FeetFromHome]

I just hope Russel doesnt kill them.

[90FeetFromHome]

hey devilologist we know that you all were state champs give it a rest god

[Iron_Man5]

The powell county program would be much better if there was more participants

[Pccheerleader11]

:PirateSho i think powell has a good chance if the participation rate goes up but even if you get more people coming out if they dont have the heart to play then having up does no good because what powell co needs is some boys out there with the heart and determination to win or atleast lead

[DEVILOLOGIST]

hey devilologist we know that you all were state champs give it a rest god

Give what a rest BROTHER??????? I say we dont make it this year if you have been reading my posts........... Mercer is the hands down favorite,,, you gotta give the credit when it is due................. We may play in the game, But Mercer will win it all this year...........

[Getum-Choppin]

You only play 11 at a time. I'd take 20 dedicated, hard workers day in and day out then 40 guys who dont come to practice half the time. Winning is what gets you numbers. Russell is a bad dream in their district. Powell still has 3 games they could have a shot possibly sorry to say this week aint one of them. I know it's bad to say but Id take the next 2 weeks to get ready for Morgan.

[NYY10]

Go Powell

I agree that it is not how many players you have it is how many players you have that play with heart

[MR.PERFECT]

What if you don't have either ?
Then what?
Excuses, Is all I hear. West set a school record, They never scored 60.
Sad thing West wont even make the playoffs.

first of all i dont even see morgan coming close to making playoffs take them out and put west in then u may be correct....

[DEVIL89]

Morgan May Make The Playoffs But I Don't Think So This Year. They Are A Very Young Team This Year And Have Had Some Injuries To Some Players But They May Suprise Some People(including Myself) And Make The Playoffs This Year But I Doudt It.

[DEVIL89]

By The Way What Kind Of Problems Does Powell Have?

Agree they are on their 8th QB since last season...injuries. Many out for the season. Here is a list:

Andy Fannin--QB--Rotator Cuff surgery (Done before season started)
Logan May--QB--Illness (Done after 1st game)
Ryan Buckler--C--Illness that caused some heart ailments; got better; hurt shoulder--is week to week
Brandon Ward--FB--promising Sophomore and LB (Shoulder)---Doubtful
Derrick Young--FB--1,000+rushes last season, leg, shoulder and possible hernia--out indefinitely, should be re-evaluated this week
Wes Montgomery--Slot/CS--Cougars most athletic playmaker; leg injury vs. Mason....should be back by West Carter
Clay Adkins--Tackle, backup Center to Buckler and DE---Achilles--Treatments from P.T. this week should get him ready to go for Sorghum Bowl
Jonathan Lopez--Sophomore Corner/Punter--Broke hand on Monday of this past week

Just don't see them making the playoffs this year.

[Getum-Choppin]

Im from Morgan and if the cougars get a solid fb back, Whether it be Derrick or Brandon Ward with the system they have I believe a 4 spot is possible in the playoffs as well.John Henderson the qb is the best athelete on the field for the cougars and against weaker comp. You wont catch him. Morgam has played some pretty good team also like mason co, bath which could be the best bath team in a long time. The qb Henderson broke a couple of big runs on Russell too. I believe morgan can be dangerous if they get 1 of their fb's back. oh and by the way, coach M you need to be more worried about yourself and other things than with me at the moment.

[ur_#1_fan]

powell co. Has a good coach. He does his best to get his team ready for games and tough opponets. Powell football has had some ups and downs but IMO he's doin a great job. Keep it up PC Coach.

You're completely wrong about Morgan. You think Morgan will make the playoffs but West won't? :dontthink

[Getum-Choppin]

I back coach Jones all the way, He's a good coach and friend. But I think the info posted on here isn't compltely right. I just talked to a former players dad who is good friends with coach Wood and the only definate loss was Fannin, Look for Ward to be back this week and Young possibly in the next 2 weeks is what I was told. This info is bogus because Logan May played against Mason and Russell as well. You shouldnt be on here posting stuff you dont know and by you saying Logan May was done after first game you really dont know. Only one of the above listed wont return. I believe and was told some of the starters were a little banged up and injured but could have played against Russell but coach didnt want them injured anymore in a game he knew he couldnt win so he saved them for the rest of the seasn to make the playoffs. Morgan if healthy will beat West Carter. Were talking about a Morgan team if healthy that was picked to finish 2nd in the district.The injured info post is kind of accurate but 90% of these guys are comming back ths week.

[Getum-Choppin]

Once again this is no insult towards coach Jones in any way but West hasnt impressed me. They barely beat Lewis co. 34-30, Lewis is 0-for and hasnt won a game.
They lost to Rowan after losing a 16-0 lead and Rowan isnt that good I would say avg. at best. West c didnt blow Nichalos away either. Don't start saying West in the playoffs just because they scored 61 on Powell. I feel Powell wasn't that much worse than west and a mental let down by the seniors and the team accounted for the 61 scored. West had barely beat a couple of teams that hadnt won a game. I dont see West C in the playoffs and the only other district win they will get will be estill.
I still think Powell can possibly beat Lewis and Estill and I hope for Coach J they do.
Im saying if Morgan gets a few of these kids back and I hear they are that they will finish no 3 or 4 in the district. This was supposed to be Woods best team yet and they were that bad mason wouldnt have beaten them 30-0 it would have been 60-0.

[Getum-Choppin]

Just got off the phone with bull he says Buckler Ward and Montgomery will play Friday and Young next Friday but a possibility this Friday. You all are saying Morgan is awefull but as many kids that are out for them they havent had a chance. You are judging a team that has had over 50% of their O injured. Thes guys come back and I think coach Woods has set the rest of the district up for a big surprise. Alot of you was saying how bad west was also until after friday. I wont garuntee nothing unlike some but if a healthy morgan or even a semi healthy morgan shows up friday they beat west.

[NYY10]

Russell is going to kill them
