2016 Preseason Class 6A Coaches Poll

[workinprogress]

Experience in the NFL does not mean much in high school football. Too many examples to list.

[Swipes]

Defense is fine and lead by LB Tahj Williams. He is the best linebacker that Williamson county has seen in years. Ravenwood has the best O-Line in school history, lead by 6-7 Duke commit Patrick Lietten. The new coaching staff has experience at the game's highest level, the NFL. In addition, the Raptors have hired longtime Titans special teams coach Allen Lowery. The sceduled is loaded early, but eases after the halfway point. The toughest team the Raptors play this year will be Maryville.

Best linebacker williamson county has seen in years? The kid is good but you must have a short memory with Dodson graduating from Centennial last year.

Mark Dodson had 15 carries for 100 yards in that game... He should gotten more carries and pass catching opportunities in that game. 

 

I did here that Dodson had hurt is leg in Mt Juliet game. May have effected how many touches he got. He should have had  25 + touches if he was healthy. A great back and from what I hear; even a better person.

I meant to say one of the best, because Dodson was truly a beast. I cannot think of any other standout linebackers the county has seen in a while. Hope Dodson does well at Texas A&M because the kid is a class act.

Ravenwood got a regular season game vs. Maryville? That's interesting

 

They're NOT on their 2016 regular season schedule.

Ravenwood replaces 36 seniors, and a great coaching staff. Be realistic. State Champs or not, that's 2015, this is 2016. And they are a totally different team with new faces. I honestly feel that Ravenwood is LUCKY to be in the top 5 in polls. This season will tell.

It's a young team, thankfully the super 32 is still a thing and they have an automatic bid into the playoffs

To my recollection Mark was fine. I don't think he was injured. I base that more on what coach Saulsberry had to say after the 2011 game then anything else. He stated that Whitehaven got away from what we did best that season, which was run MD. He said the we played 'out of character', and he was right. He stated that if we got back to the championship game that he would play it doing what we do best. We tried to air it out more then usual. It cost us big time. Now, we had play makers at the WR positions and we had a good QB ... but our bread and butter was running MD behind that big bruising OL that we had. Coach Saulsberry corrected that mistake in 2012.

Oh, they don't have a regular season game with yall? I don't see how Ravenwood expects to play the Red Dragon then...

Congrats to WHS LB Aubrey Miller....he has committed to the Mizzou Tigers!!! He says he wants to stay in black and gold, and continue being a Tiger...

Ravenwood scrimmages Indy tomorrow , would've been interesting to have seen a real game between them last year... Would've settled the debate of who was the best in wilco
