DII Mr. Football Winners Austin Long, Briarcrest Tavarres Jefferson, Ensworth I believe both of these guys were very deserving of this award... Thoughts?

I was also expecting him to be on the list, and I am not sure why he isn't a finalist. All i can figure is that either McHaney is having a huge season, or Bullard is not as dominant as he was last year.

Linemen DII-AA: Wesley Johnson, MBA; Austin Long, Briarcrest; Thad McHaney, Brentwood Acad. DII-A: Blair Arrington, Davidson Acad.; Daniel Gant, First Assembly; Will Rikard, Harding Acad. Backs DII-AA: Barry Brunetti, MUS; Tavarres Jefferson, Ensworth; Spencer Wise, MBA DII-A: Marlon Brown, Harding Acad.; Ryan Dubois, SBEC; Justin Williams, Davidson Acad. These are all great football players that are deserving of this award. Who do you think will or should win?

This will be a huge challenge for both teams. Ensworth has not faced a defensive line like BA's all season, and BA has not faced a running game like Ensworth's all season. This game will be a battle that is won on the front lines. The team that can run the ball and stop the run the best will win the game. I am going to go with the tigers because of their big play ability in the running game. EHS-28 BA-24

Back- Tavarres Jefferson (EHS) Lineman- Alex Bullard (BA) Kicker- Andrew Fltcher (MBA)

The last game was a nail biter as EHS pulled out the victory in overtime. I don't expect this game to be as close as the last one because McCallie is traveling to Ensworth this time. This is a very tough opponent for the tigers in the first round of the playoffs. Ensworth-28 McCallie-21

Sounds like you are not very fond of Ricky Bowers. I truly believe the Ensworth coaching staff couldn't care less about how there stats look in the paper. You do not need to attack a team at this level. Why do you dislike Ensworth so much?

Well there are also juniors and seniors on the team that don't get playing time until the game is out of reach for the other team. I understand that parents want their kids to play but there are a lot of kids on a football team and upperclassmen should get to their chance play first.

I Just don't like how you accuse Ensworth of trying to run up the score. I also understand that Ensworth has a lot of football left to play, and that there are some good teams that they have to beat if they want to win a championship.

Why are you so negative towards Ensworth?

Should be a great game, but i am still expecting MBA to win and be in control of the game throughout all four quarters. Ryan definitely will be pumped for this game, They need a win in a big game like this if they want to feel good about their season. Is this game going to be played at MBA or at Greer?

I am not saying this because I think you are an MBA fan, I am saying this because I think Ensworth is a whole lot better than you give them credit for. Also Ensworth put up its best rushing numbers against their best opponents because they haven't kept their starters in against their weaker opponents.

I don't think so. Rushing for 500 yards is a heck of an accomplishment that comes from great players and great coaching. Ensworth also played a very good McCallie team the week before MBA.

You are right its not like Ensworth rushed for over 500 yards against MBA.
