Oh it can be done. Just ask Will Brooks, current FB at UT Chatt. Played FB that way his Sophomore yr with his left shoulder and his junior year with his right shoulder and still got over a 1000yds rushing junior yr. for JC. Shoulder would come out during a came, he'd hit the side line for a series or two then come back in. Spent a lot of time in rehab after both surgeries. So yes it can be done, yes it is very painful (ever had your shoulder repeatedly come out of socket?), just depends on what you can stand. Hope it works out for him and he can play the rest of the season. He's a good young man, leader, and Lord knows they need him on the line. Highly recommend Dr Becker at Knoxville Orthopedic for the operation. GO BIG BLUE!!!

Very nice write up in today's Jefferson County Standard Banner on Coach Brimmer.

Two more from Jeff Co: A.J.Narcisse University of the Cumberlands Dustin Whitt Emory and Henry

Thats great news!

I heard about this accident but didn't know it had ties so close to home. May God bless his family during this tragic loss.

Good luck Coach Brimer. Its been a pleasure and I wish nothing but the best for you and your family. God Bless.

Six from Jefferson County. Brooks-UT Chatt Mcfall-Carson Newman (CN) Plount-CN Krause-Tusculum Allen-Tusculum Frank-Tusculum I can't believe no one from BD, Bearden, or SH hasn't signed. I heard CC may have had some sign but not sure.

Very well put. As a parent of one that just signed D-1AA, sounds like you got the right idea. Mine could have walked on a D-1A school but ya got to look at the big picture. He even considered some DII schools. One bit of advice, Get him a rivals account now if you haven't already and start sending in film. Good luck and I hope things work out for you.

Ya know I went to church the other night. The guest speaker was an Iraqi "Christian" converted from Islam. He was a missionary in his own country and had started a program called RMC. Reaching Muslums for Christ. Anyway he was showing slides and telling stories of how they go (mostly invited) into the Iraqi schools and give out Bibles. They tell the students about the bible, Jesus, what it means and how to be a Christian. He asked one question that really hit home. "We in Iraq are allowed to go into schools and give out bibles to children, answer questions, and openly pray. Tell me, in America can you do such things?" Of course we all said no. Then he said, "To bad. Ya know freedom is a wonderful thing America. Maybe you should try it sometime." How true!!!

Will Brooks Fullback from Jefferson County High School has commited to University of Tennessee-Chattanooga on an athletic scholarship. Brooks, who had 2 consectutive 1200+yds rushing seasons, came highly recommended from not only his coaches at JC, but also a few coaches at rival schools in the east tn area for a fullback/linebacker position at UTC. I'll not mention the names to avoid any issues, but thanks for the recommendation. Way to go Will!!! Good luck at UTC! http://www.Unapproved Website/viewprospect.asp?pr_...238&sport=1

Would love to see Greeneville come away with a win on this one!!! GO DEVILS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Brooks and Mcfall both had 1000yd+ seasons their junior years. Now another TB does not get 1000yds rushing without a FB blocking from time to time. Brooks did his fair share of blocking, blitz protection etc...this year. The vast majority of his runs were on the FB dive. Very hard to bring down. How many 6ft+, 220+lbs tail backs have you seen in HS football? Not many in these parts. Go to 'Mark's" site and watch the highlight films. And what does a team's record have to do with it? Its called an all star game. Its for the individual players.

Will Brooks- Senior at Jefferson County, Fullback #46. Will has 1166yds rushing on 160 carries for a 7.30yds per carry. He also has 26 tackles as a starting middle linebacker in only 6 quarters of play. Probably the best fullback in East TN. He absolutely loves to hit. Many opposing teams had to plan their D around him this season. Very hard to stop, takes more than one to bring him down. Will carries a 3.97 GPA all honors classes. 6'1" 218lbs, max bench is 340lbs, runs a 4.8-40. Will has been praised by several opposing team coaches in person and in print, that they wish they had him on their team. Co-Captain, leader on and off the field.

I'm not sore about anything.... "BOY"! It just nice to play a team that has some class and doesn't whine like DB. Bearden may have had a player get a concussion and another may have a broke leg but they're not on here ptssing and moaning about it like you wussies from DB do. As a matter of fact the white hat told our AD that this team played with the most class of any team he has seen this year. You can't seem to get over the fact that your "boys" at Queensport DB got man handled.

What a game!!! JC really left all on the field tonight. Even though we came out on the short end of the stick I couldn't be more proud of this team. Bearden is a class act. No cheap shot crap, late hits, home cooking etc..like you see from DB or Campbell County. Their coaches came over to talk to our players after the game to tell them what an outstanding job they did and that they did not look forward to playing us next year. Now that I think about it, I'm not sure they are going to. Any way congrats to Bearden on the win, and hope you guys go back to state again this year.
