Depth will be an issue for the eagles. Raceland is down and Paintsville is replacing key positions but should have a really good defense, but I expect both to be several TDS better than Fairview. Not a knock in the program, I like Fred Ray and think he is doing things the right way, just don't have the numbers to keep up in the district. I have heard the opposite about Boyd, hear their numbers are up from the last few years. Fairview will have some good skill kids, but have very little in the way of experienced kids and they weren't very string upfront last year and doesn't sound like they will be this year either. Good football breeds good football so I want all of our area schools to be competitive. I just think that several schools in our area that have had recent success are going to have slower years this year and maybe next as well. Then you will start to see them trending up again.
