Congrats on the win... but yeah he made the majority of the tackles Friday

Austin-East 2010 Devonte Hawkins (MLB 6' 235) Over 100 tackles in each of the last two seasons. By far one of the best LB's in the State! Sheldon Wade (5'10" 175) A total of 5 kick/punt returns with a KR average of 63.3 yds and a PR average of 66.3... Most teams learned not to kick to him because of him vision, speed, and ability to break a long run at any point. He was clocked at a 4.39 and 4.41 in the 40. This was his first year playing since 7th grade, he's a natural athlete and becoming a front runner on many teams big board. 2011 Tremond Robinson 6'1 165 - look for big things from him during his senior season, this year he posted 33 receptions and 399 yards with 3 tds. 2012 David Rucker 6'1 175 ATH - Curtis King 5'9" 160 RB - over 1500 yards rushing this season and 18 tds Cordy Cox 5'10 195 RB/LB - Over 700 yards rushing and 10 tds Jyshon Forbes - 5'10" 170 ATH Jarod Henderson - 6'3 230 OL/DE Who else is out there??

Why did Devonte Hawkins from Austin-East not make the East/West All Star Game??? If you played against him you understand my frustration. Teams scheme against him, run away from him, and opposing fans leave the game wondering who he is. The point being... Hawkins is one of the top players in the East, why is he not getting that recognition?

SECfighter wrote: it was very even but EHS had more players in that game with top end closing type speed than Asheville. * I just don't see the "top end" speed you talk about. Nor do I see the explosive burst that is needed in football. Maybe it's something that can only be seen in person. Not knocking EHS but truly I do not see it.

Just referring to it as the lawnman does...

I have seen Asheville High and they look a lot like AE, size, speed, scheme... But one thing you have to remember is that the kids from AE are extremely tough. Also, don't look for AE to change a lot, I think they are fairly confident in what they do and don't fall asleep in the secondary the Roadrunners have weapons all over the field and they are waiting for the perfect opp. to open up the passing game.

Columbiablue, You have made a lot of good points, it doesn't sound like the EHS fans have much to say other than their players won't quit and they played two close games with two decent teams (that they lost). Other than that they beat 7 typical upper east tn teams and the 1 6A team they beat was horrible.

Don't worry about telling Shawn... he knows.

This right here is a perfect example of a big fish in a small pond. Everything I read from "cow town" fans talks about how their team won't quit and that they are so fast.... well AE is the same way fast, physical, and playing with a lot of emotion right now. I guess it's easy to talk about a team that you know nothing about. Friday is going to be interesting! Don't worry about rain or bad field conditions slowing the Roadrunners down they have been there before and come out on top in the past. It's good to see EHS fans excited about their football, but beware of the Roadrunners it will be something you have not seen and always hard to prepare for.
