My predictions for Bath County 2015, regardless of coaching hire:
Fairview (L)
Rowan Co (L)
Morgan Co (W, but close. Morgan is down, but their offense tends to keep the score close and low)
Bracken Co (toss-up, as Bracken's JV was solid last year)
Pendleton Co (W uneducated guess here. Don't know much about PC other than last year's record)
West Carter (L, too much speed for BC)
Lewis Co (toss-up, Lewis is tough to beat at home)
Fleming Co (L, Fleming loses several players to graduation, but they're always solid)
Russell (L, blowout. Too much firepower from Russell)
Nicholas Co (L, Nicholas County is basically returning everyone from a team that nearly beat Bath last year. Their line will be special and the difference in this game)

Coach Fields is a class act and will always be special to the program. He is an alum and credit should be given where credit is due. He took over the program 10 years ago when it was basically dead dressing 20 players and brought it back to life. Now the interest and community support for the program is back and 50+ kids come out each year. I wouldn't rule out him being involved in the program still in my opinion. Time will tell.

Now to address your predictions it is entirely possible your correct but I think you are forgetting something or are unaware. BC will return their entire team for all practical purposes. Only 4 seniors saw any real playing time last year. Only 6 Seniors the year before. BC has been playing Varsity for 2 seasons with mostly a JV team. That's not a knock on those that played but their classes just didn't have the numbers needed. The JV has been dominant against many of these same teams (Fairview, Bracken, Morgan, West, Lewis, Nicholas) for the past 3 seasons, going undefeated last year and only dropping 4 games total in 2012 and 2013 (2 of the 4 losses were to Raceland who has been to the state semi-finals the past 2 seasons with those teams). Several of the 14-16 incoming Seniors have been asked to play varsity for 2 seasons. They have another 12-14 solid Juniors coming in behind them.

The EKC Gridorama is the weekend before the season opens. After watching BC play many teams will go back their locker rooms and erase that W they had penciled in on their schedule beside Bath County.
