Seems like a dumb comment given their only loss is to Maryville

How many AC player threads are there on Volnation?

With 5+ d1 guys, including the #1 player in the country?? They should be playing better than they are.

Have you watched them?

What does that have to do with the price of tea in Madagascar? (I was just pulling your chain.) If you want to claim they are underachieving then you might have an argument but we'll see hit plays out. To say they aren't good then regardless of the talent difference, they've proved on the field that they were better than AC.

They seem like a team with a bunch of parts, but no mechanic. Remimds me of a team that starts coming together around playoff time.

Well, to be fair, the #1 player in the country is fat, winded, out of shape, smelly, heavy-footed, lazy, a Methodist, a supporter of the designated hitter in the National League, and a Jeff Gordon fan.

So, I've heard from some fellers in Muhr-ville.

I said before they played they were better this year.. there’s no reason AC should’ve been ahead for 3 quarters. Look at their roster.. that’s obviously what I’m saying. They should be playing a lot better. They’re not one of the top teams in the state and should be

Feb 13, 2022: Soles, the 5Star Preps Defensive Underclassman of the Year, posted huge numbers from his defensive end position. Soles’ specialty was destroying linemen and getting in the backfield as fast as possible. He led Powell with 17 quarterback sacks for minus-129 yards and 50 quarterback hurries. Soles also recorded 50 solo stops and 74 overall tackles with two fumble recoveries.

...Soles said he takes great pride in being known as a defender who never takes a play off. “First, I just have a love for the game,” said Soles. “I just try and get after it and lead by example. I try and use my explosiveness and speed, but I can also catch linemen off guard with my power.”

Soles played last season at 6-foot-2 and 205 pounds. He is already up to 6-3 and 215 heading into what promises to be an exciting 2022 season, both individually and team wise. Lowe said he expects Soles to take another big step next season. With continued physical growth and skills development he predicts Soles will emerge a Division I prospect. “I think it’s coming this spring,” said Lowe. “I talked to a number of (college) coaches and I expect him to explode. You’re talking about a 16-year-old kid who is already 215 or 218 pounds. We expect him to play at 225 next year and 235 or 240 his senior year.”

Soles is naturally tall and broad-shouldered, but the trait that makes him stand out to colleges is his explosiveness. Powell coach Matt Lowe said Soles is just as quick off the line of scrimmage as his wide receivers. "His burst off the line. Every college guy that comes through here says that's what separates him from other guys in this area," Lowe said. "Guys that big just aren't that fast and athletic off the line of scrimmage. He's continued to try to add mass and get that lower body stronger, so as he accelerates through his hips, now he's got that punch to go with it."

In Powell's first 2 games this year, Soles racked up 19 tackles, including 5 TFL, and a blocked field goal. In last night's win over Karns, he finished with 13 tackles (12 solo), 3 sacks, and 2 forced fumbles.

He was big in the game I had them earlier this year against Campbell County. CC refused to block him on kickoffs.
