Thoughts on 2017 Season

Any updates off season weight lifting. Numbers or transfers?

[bbn77]

Andy has them in the weight room coming off a 9-2 season after a home playoff loss to Barnesville. Looking at around 40 kids again. I don't know the dates but I think the schedule includes the same teams as last year. Those being:

Oak Hill, Alex, @ Symmes Valley, @ Gallia, Ironton, @Portsmouth, @ Coal Grove, Rock Hill, South Point and @Fairland.

Tough schedule, Peake returns a lot in the backfield. Questions again this year will be defense and the line. McComas is a tough loss to graduation but Junior Austin Browning has all the potential to be an even better all around QB. Excited for this season, looking at 8-2 and another playoff appearance.

How many linemen return? I know Wilcoxen, Fletcher, and Browning are back, but what about the Fullback?

[bbn77]

Three or four linemen come back on both sides of the ball I think. Fullback Will Scott graduated. Like you said, Fletcher, Wilcoxon, and Browning will lead the way. Peake has the size up front, now they just need to hit the weight room. Good young talent coming up these next couple years as well

chance to start 5-0 and finish 7-3

Hate to say it but might be time to end the SV-Peake series. Just seen where SV is down to 70 making them a smaller D7 school. 5 years ago Chesapeake was only around 20 more than SV.

I've actually thought this myself. Haven't told anyone because I didn't want my buddies to look at me like a fool. Lol. But the schools are farther apart now than they used to be and they keep differentiating in size. I'd like to see Chesapeake pick up a WV or KY school. I think Raceland would be a good series to get started

My safe bet is 8-2. I don't know what Rock Hill brings back but Chesapeake handled RH at their place last season. Coal Grove and Ironton for now could/should be the only losses

I just looked and Chesapeake is about double Symmes Valley now. Unless Symmes Valley starts going 10-0 or 9-1 consistently, there are minimal playoff points available

Absolutely agree!!! Good Luck Chesapeake!!

[ravensfan9]

I hope Chesapeake can put a solid line in front of their stable of backs. Who will be at the QB spot? Losing McComas will be a HUGE hit!

[Purplehaze]

From what I'm hearing, Peake HB/S Wilcoxin transfered back to Fairland. Can anyone confirm this?

[Vikings1]

Yes wilcoxin at fairland

[osumufan]
