Big Country, tell me about a big back at Marshall Co., Hightower. Class , size, speed and what colleges are looking at him. Thank you for any info and if any other posters have knowledge, wade into the highway.

 

Dont'a Hightower is the younger brother of former Marshall Co. great Ray Hightower (2000 Class 3A Mr. Football Back) who went on to play college ball at Carson Newman. He will be a junior this upcoming season. I could not give you an exact number on his size or how fast he runs 40. Through Marshall's first seven games last season he probably did not even rush for 200 yards total BUT in the team's last four games (David Lipscomb, Montgomery Central, Giles Co. and Lexington) he rushed for 800 yards and 10TD's.

 

I believe he is the best pure back in the region but in terms of numbers the Elrod kid at Lipscomb will put up better numbers because he plays in an offense that is easily 95% run oriented. Hightower plays on an offensive football team that features an outstanding quarterback in Kellen Gower and an outstanding receiver with blazing speed in Cavalla O'Neal. Despite having a guy that I believe has the ability to rush for 1,500 yards you and I both know that Johnson is going to throw the football. That's just what he likes to do!

From what I hear ....Marshall Co will not throw the ball nearly as much as last yr. Why? Hightower...he will get the ball plenty in 06.

 

Gower has improved from last yr. He is a little quicker and is stronger...still working on his decision making. The Tigers could have an explosive offense.

Hightower is 6'3", about 220 and runs probably a 4.55. He wil be a junior. He has great instincts. I think he knows he is good, but is not quite sure yet just how good he can be. I hope he comes into his own this year. I do expect that he will rush for over 1500 yards this year.

The kid was a beast against Lexington last year. Sheesh, he'll just be a junior. Scary...... :(

Nice choice Solomon. :(

 

It will be interesting to see how Tim Thompson`s team does in his second year there. He certainly managed to wake them up over there in Fayette County last year.

 

I still don't know what to make of them. If Thompson can get their attitude changed, they have the talent to be a legit force on the west end of the state. I think they'll make the playoffs out of Region 6, but other than that I don't have a clue.

 

Region 6 may not have a dominant team this year, but it should turn into a good race to see who gets the 4 spots. If FW does become a force, I'll just be glad Liberty is heading to 4A next year. :lol:

Hightower has a lot of respect and trust for his offensive line and thats what makes him a good player. He respects them and they in return want to protect him and see that he gets the yards. There are several players on that o line that have played together since pee wee. They know what the other one is thinking and cover for each other. There not only teammates but friends.

      Farragut Blue VS Grey game… oh boy

      By MissHawking · Posted

      Never in my life have I seen a team in a scrimmage against their own defense look so lost and confused. The defense didn’t look much better, the coaching staff can’t keep their anger together, not only with the players but also with their other coaches. I feel awful for those players. None of them look like they wanted or should’ve been out there, but for the grown men on the sidelines acting like fools, it's just embarrassing to the Farragut name and reputation. I now see why they chose not to live stream this on their YouTube channel.

      We could sure use some math teachers country wide. Ever go into a store or restaurant and the bill comes to $9.97 and you give them a ten dollar bill and 2 pennies because you wanted a nickle back and then the meltdown starts and the next thing two more people have to come and help figure it out and the place comes to a complete halt. I see this everyday and it's a sad representation of all these schools allowing these kids out the door to get shortchanged the rest of their life.

      Stars, I heard we were searching far and wide for some math teachers. Any chance their kids bench press or 40 times are getting checked? LOL I’ve heard good things from 825.

      I think it was expected. “Bad” luck I guess to get a couple difference maker QBs in the same class. I thought the decision was made a little early myself, but they were struggling offensively last year.  I assume the running quarterback alco had last year would be a senior this fall, and the transfer would start the following two years in addition to getting a ton of playing time this year. Maybe he waits two yrs, but I doubt it. The kid is good. So is the one who stayed.
