From what i hear he started track this year for the fun and conditioning, He has all ready received a scholarship in football, He did say he wished he had competed in track before his senior year, although i would like to see him competing at more events.

QUOTE(SatchUmp @ Mar 21 2007 - 10:46 AM) 826419432[/snapback]I was able to be there. I sat right on the finish line. The sprints were close and pretty good hand times as well. Elizabethton is strong for sure. EHS seem deep also, as you said. Fuqua ran a very smooth 110H race. Dykes from Volunteer is a good hurdler as well, but seem to me that he stays in the air too long over the hurdles. Good athlete. McCann from South ran a good race and certainly can get it into the 15's. Sullivan South does have another hurdler who can get down to the low 15 sec mark, but he's a freshman and struggling a bit right now with stamina from all the jumping events before the hurdles.
Question - Did they award EHS the win in the 4x100 Relay, because I sat right on the line and Crowe from Sullivan South clearly pulled ahead at the line. Honestly, clearly. The coaches doing the timing and the EHS parents at the line were even saying South pulled ahead. Either way, the 4x100 race for both EHS and SSHS could have been a great deal faster. All of South's handoffs were really bad, really slow. They could shave a huge amount off the time as well. Sounds like a good start in the blocks and EHS would be a good bit faster as well.
Once Sullivan South's Curt Phillips learns how to use blocks, staying low and busting out of them, he will for sure be sub-11 sec.s in the 100M. It was dang impressive to see a 6'3" 220lb quarterback run Fugua down and win with a 11 second 100M. Wow!
It seems to me that the Elizabethton boys team is very strong in distance and sprints. If you guys can develop some jumpers you could be even tougher. I know the high jump area at South leaves a lot to be desired, but it looked like you guys are behind on HJ and LJ. TJ was washed out due to a TJ pit that doesn't drain properly. The young man with the long hair from Sullivan Central was in a class by himself on HJ. He certainly will jump well over 6' on a good surface. It is good to see South's track greatly improved, especially the new surface on the running, LJ, TJ, and pole vault areas. But seems, noone gave any thought to high jump. You can't HJ off asphalt, uphill, with not enough approach area. Hmmm.? I did not see any of the throws. I'm sure the Betsy boys are after a A/AA state title, so work on those jumps. That's just my humble opinion.
Nice meet guys.
From what I have heard Happy Valley has added a good sprinter and jumper , could be interesting.

I've been hearing he’s been or going on some official visits. Does anyone know what colleges or who he is considering? I wish him the best where ever he decides to play.

This is my first post but I often read these boards, Ive got to comment on the performance Friday night. Ive followed Carter County sports for years trying to see each team play a couple of times a year. I must say in the last several years this is the most impressive performance of a playoff team Ive seen. Great job Bulldogs! There were so many stand out players and the Lyons kid is everything Ive been reading about and more. The sports writer made a good comment in a past topic. He is the most underrated player in region 1. I believe he could play at the next level at any D1 school. I havent had the opportunity to see Adam play this year but Will Make the trip to see him in action next week. With his return and if Hampton continues to play at this level, History will be made in Carter County.We will be pulling for you. Good Luck Bulldogs!
