Best 5A runningback

Guess I have been doing it wrong for 16 years, but when keeping stats, I do it for the entire season. If that includes playoffs - then it includes playoffs.

 

Spencer finished with 2,058 last year if I am not mistaken. Look at his attempts and it was evident that he was done by halftime in many of those games. Lot of good running backs in 5A, no doubt about that.

That's fine for your player...but it's impossible to compare two STUD running back s when one has 3000 yards because they played 5 extra games vs the other having 2000. Understand?

I am sorry, but I have compared the two "stud" running backs in question ... and have made my selection. It was a tough one, but it has been made. Best of luck to both of them this season.

 

How do they compare on yards per carry? I don't really know. I wouldn't hold it against your running back if his team had deep-playoff success, by the way.

let's not forget Chris Johnson at Campbell County...he may not be as big as some of the other backs mentioned here...but he did lead CC to their first time ever playoff trip in pads...he will only be a junior next year i do believe...

I would have to put Preston Brown as the #1 back.  He is bigger and stronger than Gaston Miller.  Evidence of speed came at a track meet where Brown and Coker beat Miller by at least 10 yds.  Last season, played with Coker, didn't carry the ball as much, but averaged over 7 tough yds/ carry.  Will be featured back and a monster on offense and defense.

Speed isn't everything. Miller averaged over 10 yards a carry. I am more interested in how far the back goes than how fast he gets there.

 

I will agree with you though - Brown is a really good one, and may end up the best of the bunch.

Here is the thing i like about Gaston(and i may get lynched by other oakland folks for saying something positive bout an RHS player) but for as small as gaston is, the kid always falls forward. Hes a lot stronger than most people think

At this point in their careers I would agree that Miller and Spencer are ahead of everyone else. What some fail to see is the Chris was just a sophmore last year, HE WILL GET BETTER.

Preston Brown is the best RB in the state, bar none. Gaston Miller and Gullmire are tough, tough backs, but isn't every RB that plays for Oak Ridge or Riverdale productive? Preston can run through you, around you, and may be the most dangerous open field guy in the state. Last year, he was better than his teammate, LaMarcus Coker. True Coker was injured and only played in 5 games, but Brown is his equal. As a matter of fact, Preston is a better between-the-tackles runner than Coker is. Give Preston Brown his due, I know the college recruiters do!!

    • Best-of-three sectional series vs East Robertson at home starting Wednesday.  They put us out last year at this point.  Go Pirates!!
    • I don't believe they have anyone that is surbers caliber but a decent staff overall.
    • Richland plays at McKenzie on Wed.  Should be a good series.  Does Richland have good pitching?  
    • Congratulations to the Warrior baseball team winning the Region Championship.  Last night the football team beat Franklin Co 33-0 in their spring scrimmage. Warriors looked very good. Missing a few players who were playing baseball but still absolutely dominated. A lot of young ones got in halfway through the 3rd when the score reached 33-0. QB Tilton Pickett looked very sharp.  Sam Pickett is on another level this season. Seems to have put on 15 to 20 lbs in the off season and added a step as well. Transfer from last year Williamson caught numerous balls and is very elusive. Lots of athletes on this team. Defense was smothering and will only get better. The head coach from Sewanee was in attendance and offered 2 kids after the game. Could be a special year.
