2022 Henry County Patriots

[BigRed88]

I figured I would start a thread for all things 2022 Henry County Patriots. This is the upcoming season that most all Patriot fans have circled as the one that we can win it all. Lots of great talent will be suiting back up for the Big Red. Very nice talent coming up from Grove as well! Love to hear everyone's thoughts on this group.

If key players stay healthy, I expect HC to be very good next year. Plenty of young talent in the pipeline too. The next 4-5 years could possibly be like the 2009-2013 run HC went on.

Just saw a tweet where HC running back announced his transfer to Lausanne

He’s been gone since halfway through the season. Good luck to him, hope he does well.

Talented upcoming senior class that I'm sure is eager to go out with a bang after losing in the semifinals the last two years. The QB should be one of 5A's best, and he has a host of returning weapons. Losing Townsend at RB stinks, but Morgan Barrick returning helps big time and there is plenty of talent in the underclasses to ease the load. The star left tackle is coming back and much of the defense returns intact.

Nothing is ever given in 5A, but HC should be on a pretty exclusive list of top contenders. We'll see how it all comes together.

I believe all of Henry County is pumped about 2022. I think we return quite a few players that played significant minutes this past season and if so I look for the Patriots to have an incredible season.

Damron-QB

 Brown-LT

And this team has the potential to be really good. They do have a ton of weapons and talent coming back, and I hope to see them use it.

I'm sure they will in the preseason.

I was joking, perhaps not very tastefully. Just having flashbacks of 2014 or thereabout where we had some very promising preseason talent but circumstances had other plans.

I have heard that you guys have a quarterback that had it been anyone else but that one specific kid at QB at Westview, he would have not only garnered the starting spot but also attention.

I feel playing in a larger level football program will actually help him more. So not looking forward to the playoffs this year if we meet.

The kid is going into his 4th straight year as the starting quarterback for HCHS, and I wish people (both here and everywhere else) would focus on that instead of where he lived 4 years ago and what county is on his birth certificate.
