I couldn't have said it any better! Take those lineman you mentioned and add Smith and Gilmore and you have one of the best D lines in the state. I'm looking more forward to the season starting every day. Now only if Goins is allowed to transfer back to the district that he already lives in...Somerset.

I don't believe that Goins is going to be walking through that door. The kid made a poor decision as a Freshman, and now with the basketball situation and Somersets obvious superiority in football (even with Pulaski's best team maybe ever assembled they faced a Jumper team who eventually played for a state title with a 14-0 record) I believe that Tyler is regretting his decision. Unfortunately unless he moves into a house say... NEXT DOOR to the one he lives in now he will not be able to attend Somerset High School. As a Freshman in the city limits you have a choice to transfer over, as you pay both city and county taxes (parents do anyway). That choice is unfortunately a one way street after you enter high school. Regardless, Somerset will win the battle up front on both sides of the football this year. Thats where they have made their money the past few years, and thats where I expect them to once again. The offensive line has worked hard during the off season, and will likely be just as good if not better than last year with 3 returning starters. Defensive line loses Trey Slaughter, arguably the best Defensive lineman to ever play at SHS, but his brother Tevin is going to be a junior and he is the real deal. Add in, as you mentioned, Bridge, Jacobi, guys like Caleb Walker, Josh Stambaugh, Tyler Wilson... This group gets scary because of the depth they have up front. The linebackers should be outstanding as well with Bryson Jones inside, possibly Tyson playing Middle backer, Hinton at outside backer, and a guy like Devin Griffith playing the other outside backer. Tyler Megargel playing safety, along with Mcwilliams and chevront/lange to complete the starting defensive backfield. The great thing about all these guys that Ive mentioned... They're all seasoned veterans, and many of them are Juniors. Add in the freshman class with Castle Hatcher (who will likely see time in the defensive backfield because of his athleticism, and is an OUTSTANDING quarterback) and this team will be loaded. Tanner Gadberry had an outstanding off season and is throwing the ball very well with accuracy and velocity. Wow, I'm ready for week zero!
