I think it’s Ben Franklins award to lose tomorrow. Just my opinion.

They are all talented young men. I would have to say, based  solely on their performance against McKenzie, Dawson White. He was just as good as the other two, and he was possibly a step slow due to injury. Just my opinion 

Dawson stats was better than 165 yards rushing 2 Tds and 15 tackles?

There are a lot of people on here that I’d like to quote and make fun of- but I won’t. Congrats to my Rebels on a tremendous 3 year run. I believe that’s 3 Mr football finalists that our young men had to compete against . What  a defensive effort!

No doubt, definitely battled tested going into the state championship game. I’m not sure if y’all’s new Qb isn’t better than Cassidy was.

Who was the best one of the 3 in your opinion?

Congrats to both kids! 

Hope they both show out Friday. 

We are hoping to meet again in a few weeks!

It sounds like he gets most of the rushing attempts for the entire team. Who do they have besides this kid?

I mean not as many as you would think , but he is 6’4 245lbs and is faster than anybody on the field so I think most people would give him the ball a pretty good bit. 18 a game. 
 

They have other pieces to go along with him though that can make things happen.

Congrats to all the finalists.Figured Dresden player would be on it as well as South Pitts and Moore Co player.No matter if you think Franklin should win and maybe he's real deal.But surprised he's on list with his team having 4 losses.Doubt his stats are better than Lake Co running back Mullins.I have said I didn't think Mullins would make it with LC record.But they only lost one more game than Cornersville and played toughest schedule in state for Single A.So after seeing this,I can see even if Lake Co went 9 and 1 or 8 and 2,Mullins has no chance just like Snyder.Voters are biased.Abd again.Not saying he's not deserving.But a Mr Football with 4 losses?Then Mullins should made list with the stats he has plus the schedule LC has played whether he'd win it or not..Hope Dresden player wins it but after seeing the votes in previous years.Doubt he really has a chance.

Franklin stats 

Offense: 176 carries for 2184 yards 12.5 YPC 31TDs

Defense: 11 sacks , 5 forced fumbles , 37 tackles for loss.

If you could have beat the #4 seed maybe .. Don’t see the logic in this statement.. 

Hard to win a game with 4 starters out in Single A football. So here is some logic for you.

What seed should they be?

Should have been a 2 seed.

pretty awful draw for cornersville 

I think it could go the other way as well. Cornersville isn’t a normal 4 seed with a Mr. football candidate. 

This is definitely not a 1 vs 4 match-up. I think Makenzie could have gotten the bad end of the stick. Not saying Cornersville will win but this game will be close.

Congrats Eagles. Y’all played a great game.

Ben rushed 300 on 28 carries  (unofficial).  Broke the 2000 yard mark. Congrats!

Cornersville fans know why we lost that game.  

If everyone plays Cornersville wins, yes buts let’s not get on here the blame kids or certain individuals.  Mistakes happen , they are all still learning and maturing. Just have to learn from it and move on to Makenzie. This season is far from over if the coaching staff and the boys buckle down this week and get a good game plan together. 
 

Another thing that didn’t help we played behind the sticks all night too. 
 

May have been the hardest I’ve seen Ben run all year, he took 11 people to tackle him on almost every run.

yea but they didn’t give him that many carries is what i’m saying. they probably held off on running him so much

113 yards 3 touchdowns on the night. 
 

But It was a passing night with Woodard throwing for 177 yards and 3 TDs, With them selling hard out for the run.

7 minutes ago, City223 said:

ben is BY FAR the best defensive player in this region and dawson is the best offensive player in this region

I can agree with that too. I never said originally that Dawson shouldn’t win Mr football, I said they both should be up for it and it’s crazy that they are in the same region. 
 

They should take both sides of the ball in consideration too.

i’m saying playing a weak schedule and running a wing t which is mainly running would result in at least 100 backs in tennessee getting 2k yards

So we are discrediting City’s state championship because they have 6A kids playing 1A ball. 
 

10 hours ago, City223 said:

if you put a lot of backs in a wing t offense that runs the ball a lot and has a week schedule you get that result 

I guess they should run the wingT then?? But the backs in different offenses across the state have more carries than Ben does, so I’m not seeing your point in running the ball a lot more?

Please stop. Franklin isn't DJ Taylor. Smh

You are right, Franklin is better than Taylor.

better stats across the board?

 

Yes who else has those kind of stats on that many carries. And if you want to go the 10-0 route we had 2 of the best players in 2018 , scoring like 40 a game and giving up 3 a game. Nobody stopped Eli Woodard or Cam Whitaker all year.  Did they win Mr. football? No

Dawson is undefeated and not 5-3

Dawson hasn't been contained by any team they have face

you take away the 1 long run Franklin had against MC and he has 67 yards on 13 carries

Franklin is good but not Mr. Football good

 

Okay nobody said I was against White winning it? I vouched for him. 
 

But Ben is Mr football good. The kid has better stats than anyone else across the board. 

1 hour ago, falconred said:

there is no comparison, White hasn't been held in check all year by any team, Franklin was a non-factor against Collinwood.  The coaching staff does a real good job of padding his stats once games are out of hand 

 

He would have more than 130 carries if the coaches were trying to “pad his stats” 

also he hasn’t played in the 4th qtr in 3 or 4 of the games.

Mr. Football? He's not even the best player in his own district. 

Dawson and Franklin are the 2 best players in single A and are in the same region yes.  Franklin has division 1 offers and a PWO to a SEC school. 
 

Franklin is averaging almost 14 YPC, 14!!

Dawson is averaging a little over 12 YPC and has passing yards.
 

Both are super good. Probably couldn’t go wrong with either choice on MR football but it has to be one of these 2 to win the award.

probably would be a good idea to rest him 

1) The dogs need a win for seeding purposes so they can’t rest him. 
 

2)  It’s not taking him a ton of carries to get to that 300 mark. He has done it 4 times already. 
 

3) Mr. football award won’t account for him resting a game. 
 

but I do agree with you if the game does get out of hand , rest him towards the end of the game. 

This one should be closer than what people expect it to be because “Forrest doesn’t let one guy beat them” they say. 

Franklin 18 YPC last night, and that line was a wrecking ball last night.

Woodard had 2 passing touchdowns last night as well, looks like things are starting to click on all cylinders for this offense.

He’s good! I wouldn’t wanna tackle him. But I’ll argue Mullins from LC is a one man show for real. Franklin is a top back no doubt 

Do they hand Mullins the ball every play?
