A couple of observations from today's awards:
1) Gulmire should have won. However he is not committed to a D-1 school like Miller. (Why this matters, I do not know, but apparently it does.)
2) Miller is a great back who will do well in college, as will Gulmire though maybe not at an SEC school. If I'm Tennessee, I offer Gulmire a scholarship because he has DESIRE. Something they have been lacking IMO.
3) Plaques had to be engraved before Thanksgiving, so go with history and say that Riverdale will beat OR. This equates to Miller getting the nod, and hey....he did outgain Gulmire in the game.
4) East Tennessee gets "munsoned" every year by the small town middle and west Tenn. sportswriters.I'm beginning to believe that PrepXtra is more concerned in featuring their own ET MVPs and are not so concerned with statewide awards. DON'T GET ME WRONG THEY DO A GREAT JOB AT THE KNS, BUT I THINK THEY COULD DO MORE TO CONVINCE MEDIA MEMBERS AROUND THEM IN THE VOTING. (Just my opinion)
5) OR and Gulmire bring home the trophy for 5A and that is worth way more than any individual award.
