The bottom line is Powell's schedule for next season will give them a chance to win some games. Jackson co., Berea, Betsy Lane. Now your in a district with Breathitt( who could be preseason #1 in 2a) Flemming(solid) Cawood and Estill(who will be alot better). IMO the district don't get any easier at all. Flemming and Estill return almost everybody. Cawood hasn't been a power house as of late BUT......That's a rough-neck bunch out of the mountains(Harlan co.) who will HIT YOU. Breathitt returns the core of their team and will challenge hard next year. On the positive Powell has some winnable games but some things have to happen : Powell has to get coach Jones back and give the man support. He had back to back 4-6 seasons at a place where 2-8 is generally a average year. SO WHAT if he was 1-9 last season, Powell lost nearly 30 straight before, So no need to talk of firing a man for a 1-9. Powell played alot of youth last season started at 7 freshman on both sides, Started a Soph. Qb who will be a good one. Coach Jones started these young players to build to improve for the next 3 years. So your gonna fire the man after he took his lumps this season because he's trying to get better for the next 3 years?????????? He trying to build a program.
The players have got to get in the weight room, It's a major problem when 3 kids per day show up to lift actually it spells DISASTER! The mindset has got to change within the players. IF YOU DON'T LIFT YOU WILL LOSE and that's a given. When is it gonna sink in that you don't have to be losers, You don't have to be the whippin boy year in and year out. But until you decide to get your asses in the weight room and you decide ENOUGH OF THIS LOSING, It will never change. Billy Rice will be a good one!
Derrick Blackford has the most potential of any that has played for Powell. Harlan Elam is the biggest and strongest to wear a Powell uniform. Powell could have a good year if alot of heads are got out of asses and Coach Jones is given the support he deserves and the football team gets a wake-up call and decides " WERE GONNA DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO MAKE A CHANGE". WHATEVER IT TAKES!
