Guy Powell can’t be replaced. Bangs coach Jason Cole is well aware of that. 

While Cole knows there’s not another 2,000-yard tailback waiting in the wings, several Dragons are prepared to pick up the slack as they eye a return to the playoffs. 

“They want to show that they can play and contribute,” Cole said of his team’s returning skill players. “We ran the ball 75 percent of the time with Guy because he was so good you’d be crazy not to. Now it’s the other kids’ turn, and they’re excited.”
