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!!

Good point. It seems like every year those two teams finds someone to replace the one that just left.

 

This subject is so subjective. Their are a lot of things that factor into it besides the skill of the individual player. Strenght of opponent, stength of O-Line, field conditions, type of offense, number of big plays etc.

 

I can say that both are impressive and are deserving of consideration. The one thing you probably could say about all the good backs is that if you put them into the other ones shoes, they could still get the job done.

Johnson from Campbell Co. is going to be a Senior, not a Junior. I don't really know how all you people are leaving him off the list, I'm sure it's because you probably think last year was a fluke, but be ready for CC to be back in the playoffs again this year. Johnson squats 450, bench 300, PC 280, sub 4.5 40...as of right now. I look for Johnson to go over 2000 yards next year and be a serious player for All-State and lead the team to the playoffs, and hopefully win some games...something we couldnt do last year.

Johnson isn`t getting much attention for one reason, he plays at CC. Johnson is a heck of RB, but until CC makes some real noise in the 5A scene he won`t be noticed. As good as Johnson is, 2000yds is a real stretch. As far as CC as a whole, I think this year is their best chance to do real damage. I predict them to finish 2nd in region 1, behind DB of course.

Wow, I can't believe JC4life said that about CC. I can't believe anyone would even let that thought enter their minds..haha...But it's good that Campbell County is getting attention because after the season we had last year, we should get attention. And as a Cougar alumni now, I will be at every game cheering them on as they all did for us. Good luck to the cougars and I expect them to do better than they did last year. Offense should be better than last year. I can't wait till spring practice.

The conditions are right for CC to make a run at the top of region 1. CC has maybe the best team they`ve ever had, DB has lost a lot and is reloading, Jefferson Co has lost A TON and is rebuilding, no one ever knows about Sevier Co anymore, or S.Hill for that matter. As a whole region 1 will down like never before, its been a long time since so many of the traditonal power teams have been down like this, at the same time.

    • I think Gordonsville wins the region but comes up short vs south pitt in Rd3  
    • Who’s going to lead the pirates offense this year?
    • Pickett is good, may have a Mr. Football like season if he’s used correctly. One of the best teams Marion has fielded in a while. I think they go 12-1 and loose to ER.  ER has better players at almost every position. If they play discipline this year, they win soundly. If they don’t though…Marion could sneak away with it.
    • I’m betting the house on the Indians. Pickett and Co will be the only team to challenge the Indians in the East. Huntingdon can in the West. I think Brooks goes 15-0 and has the first perfect season and state championship in ER history.
    • Sounds like a great opportunity has opened up for the football team.  With the head coach of the diamond rebels making it official and quitting this week, there should be some room for the gridiron guys to benefit. I assume the administration won’t continue paying six figures to two former coach that quit to continue teaching drivers Ed. Thats pretty good money that could be redirected toward the football program. Also, with the more recent policies of pushing kids to only play one sport, abolishing the baseball program altogether would help on Friday nights in the fall. There is some decent speed on that baseball team that should’ve been playing on Fridays IMO. I’m not sure if anybody would really miss that baseball program anyway with it being across town from the school. The liability of letting players actually use the facilities could also be mitigated with closing the program. That liability seems to be a really big issue for 825. Anyway, it seems like a great opportunity is available.
