Not too many players ever get to start as a freshmen, but Earnest Williams did. I felt like my heart was ripped out and put on a silver platter Friday night as I watched Earnest go down. At that moment winning the game didn't even matter. I would take a loss anytime than see him seriously injured. I am happy to say that his ankle is only sprained and that he is doing ok. I know it was hard for him to sit and watch the game from the sidelines. He wanted to play, because there is a fierce competitor within Earnest Williams. I would just like to thank him for the memories. I will forever remember the days of Earnest Williams at Cavalier Stadium. Not only his dedication on the field, but off the field as well. He has been an inspiration to my son and to my family as well. We lived for Friday night football. I told him that it didn't end Friday night, it was only the beginning. He will have better days ahead and my family will support him all the way. We will be there on Saturday's to see him play.
We love you Earnest and may God bless you in everything you do. You are truly the best athlete to ever come from Crockett County.
Thank you Cavalier Seniors and Coaching staff for a fantastic year!
