Coach Wade did mean a tremendous amount not only to the football program, but the entire school. Let's face it, he built their program into something they had never done before...winning titles. He was a tremendous asset to the school, otherwise he wouldn't be at ENSWORTH. Coach A needs to be given some time and with the lack of personnel it's going to make things look worse than it really is. I'm sure the guy feels enough pressure anyway. If you count the TE, from what I'm told they lost 4 starters on the OL. Even with #40 and Co. in the backfield, with no experience up front, it's going to be tough. Also, they lost one of their QB's as they rotated 2 guys. I don't think Williams is 100% with the knee injuries and if they can't open many holes and are having little success throwing the ball, teams can put 8-9 in the box to stop him and the stable of RBs.
As far as DCA/Davidson, I think the Cats are poised for a big run. I don't know if they are at Knox Webb or ECS's level, but will have to be reckoned with. With Kennedy at QB, Dismukes at RB, Johnston at WR they are loaded at the skill positions for 2 years. Also, it looks as their line is going to be solid. Former state championship QB Rusty Thompson is in the role as an asst. looks to have helped Kennedy make tremendous strides during the offseason with 4 TD's against MJCA. Also looks like Coach Goodwin has opened up the offense besides the traditional I-formation and look for DCA to throw the ball down the field more than in recent years.
