I think that JC has the potential to be even better in 2007 than they were this past year. This senior class will be the largest and most talented we've had in a while, probably about 18 seniors. probably still not as athletic as the 2000 bunch of kids though, but we're getting there.

We have what potentially could be the best freshman class we have ever had coming in. It's loaded with athletes! If we can maintain our roster at 80 or so and keep 20-25 in each class we won't have to rebuild, we'll just reload.

Our boys are allot more dedicated in the weight room this year. Coach Cook has been working them hard after school and getting the most out of their workouts. I saw JK the other night at the Paintsville game and you could tell he had been on the weights hard.

From what I hear our schedule will be allot tougher out of district this year with Belfry, Conner, South Point (OH) and possibly Wheelersburg (OH) and a preseason scrimmage with Ironton (OH). I think this makes you battle tested when it comes to the playoffs. Last years Cov. Cath. team is a perfect example of a team that took some lumps from some great football teams early, but by the playoff were playing some great football.

Great post. The only thing that I disagree with is that the 2000 team was athletic. That teams was a great example of lining it up and pounded the ball down your throat with its size and strength. Great team but I feel both the 2005 and 2006 team where more athletic teams than the 2000 team.
