Whitley is TOO young this year.
Were only dressing around 40 players and the majority of them are underclassmen. The returning starters we did have all just about quit.
Its just gonna be a long year for Whitley. Growing pains for atleast 2-3 years before being ready to step up and compete with teams like Bell.
If we dont get more kids out though, well lets just say we will never turn it around.

The junior class at Whitley was awesome in middle school. They ran a balanced attack and killed people; beating Lexington Catholic 2 years in a row. The last game, Catholic threw the towel in with 5 minutes to go in the game. Whitley beat Somerset 54-0 and Somerset threw the towel in at the beginning of the 4th quarter that year. They beat Corbin 2 years in a row. This bunch of boys were only beaten once in middle school-that by Bell County. Whitley was the most dominating and balanced middle school team I have ever seen.When they entered high school it was a different system which relied on the run 90% of the time. Look at the programs now: Catholic, Somerset, and Corbin have gotten better while the big question at Whitley this year is if they should have kicked the field goal or go for it in the last few seconds trailing by 30 points. A good coach would have looked at that talent coming in the high school and adopted to it; instead of being set on a system that doesn't suit your talent level. Whitley will be better next year because of the seniors to be and their desire to win, but the sad thing about this group is they will finish their high school career with a losing record. What a shame for these kids that once was the most feared football team in the area. I don't see it getting any better in the future.
