Two sport athlete is a speedster built like a LB
Carson Powers is an example of how every roster has some fine talent on it regardless of how well a team may fare in any particular season. Ohio County struggled in ’24, there is no other way to characterize an 0-11 worksheet. That doesn’t mean there weren’t any bright spots. Carson Powers played very well, especially in light of the circumstances.

Hartford, KY (Beaver Damn): Ohio County struggled in ’24, Coach Trenton Moeller would be the first to admit that. Still, that shouldn’t be taken to mean there isn’t talent on that 5A football roster.
What about Carson Powers? Powers is a two sport athlete who flourishes on the gridiron and on the track.
Powers is 6’1,” and weighs in the 180-pound range. He plays some RB but was more of a linebacker this past season. This is a guy we may see more of running the football in ’25 than we did in ’24 (73-rushing yards).
Powers was rock-solid on defense for the Eagles. Powers registered 68-tackles, 10-TFLs, three (3) QB-sacks, two (2) FFs, and was among the leaders in PBUs though he failed to snag an INT.

If you look at the season statistics it appears clear where the malfunction occurred. In 11 games, the Eagles scored 44-points for the season while allowing 485.
Ohio County might be in a situation where the Eagles need to commit to using Powers more on offense in ’25. That is, provided the Eagles want to improve on the team’s rushing output of 61-(or so) yards rushing a game.
The picture isn’t completely devoid of promise. The leading passer for Ohio County (Ayden Farris) is a ’26 kid, like Powers, and the leading rusher (Eli Warren) is a ’27, or rising junior. Both of the leading receivers (Luke Barton, Lucas Kramer) are graduating so the Eagles will have to hope it developed some receivers to target in the passing game, but there are prospects.
Overall, Ohio County has its leading tackler returning in Powers. As witnessed in ’24, having Powers in the lineup is NOT of little consequence. It is significant.
The kid can play. Then again, what do we know?
