Dresden Lions 2014

Go Lions!

Lost two starting offensive lineman, fullback, receiver, best linebacker, fast safety, dt, and a corner. Returning tons of talent but lacking size at every position. To compete with the top teams in the west the lions need to eat and hit the weight room, even if they play other sports. Spring ball will be fun to see if team can run the ball because baseball will have most of the skill guys. Work hard Lions. Hope the lion cubs grow some teeth and get mean. Tough schedule again. Mckenzie, stangs, Gleason, bruceton, westview, Trenton, wcarroll, union city, obion county.

8-2 with losses to Union City and Huntingdon.

Hate to sound like Debbie downer but I'm a little more sceptical than Dave. I think west view gets us and McKenzie might. Thinking 6 & 4 or possible 7 & 3. Growing year but look out 2015 and beyond.

May be right, but there is a big jump usually from freshman to sophomore year and if that happens then the lions could be a surprise team again. Very talented class. Kinda like this years senior class did when we went to state.

I was waiting for someone else to say it first yso.  If they go 5-5 it would surprise me.  I think you will see a lot of younger kids playing next year and I mean freshmen and sophomores.  The junior and senior classes just don't have many kids in them that will see a lot of playing time.  Got some talent coming back but they will have to work their tails off to get bigger, stronger and faster if they are going to compete in our district.  Skill guys will be good but another year of wondering about o-line and our defense will lose almost everybody.  Will have to wait and see how those young guys work in the off season.  I believe the coaches will have them competing but don't know how many we will win.  I really hope they surprise me.

I say 9-1. There is a ton of kids that sat on bench because of strength that will surprise people if they work hard. Sims tbow Phillips Mansfield Yates roudabush cooper, Mitchell, hansel. Peltz, etc. then all the freshman starters last year who weren't very strong... Williams, Quincy, dresser, Yates

I hope you are right hog. Those sophomores grew quite a bit from their 8th grade year til now.  If they work hard you could be right.  They do have some talent but we are losing so much on defense.  Who will replace Caldwell?  Offensively I think we will be fine.  I know you like the ground and pound but I don't see that happening.  Think we will throw it around ALOT.

My guess will be Nanney and Mitchell at middle backers. Probably be warren and k Williams at outside.

I keep wondering when Obion will start playing like they are capable of, Peabody and Martin will bring a lot back. We know what UC will have, McKenzie is senior heavy like us so.

Would like to see jolley at backer personally but that's may be why I'm a water boy.
