Metro Ballers turning to the Gridiron?

[cobrafan90]

In 2005, 4 Metro Nashville middle school teams played for the city championship. Each team was led by an outstanding player. Fastforward to 2006. Each one of those players are making big headlines on the football field for their respective schools.

 

Those who keep up w/ Metro sports will recognize these four names.

 

Eric Gordon (Bass MS) now at Hillsboro

Tavares Jefferson (Dupont Tyler MS) now at Ensworth

Terrance Davis (JFK MS) now at Antioch

Markus Cantrell (Dalewood MS) now at Maplewood.

 

Gordon was actually Mr. Basketball for the Western Division and Jefferson was Mr. Basketball for the Eastern Division. Just last yr, Cantrell and Jefferson squared of for the 9th grade city championship(bball).

 

All are very important players for their respective football teams.

 

Cantrell sees action as a tailback(spelling all-state T. Holt) and defensive back. His team won the city championship in football as a ninth grader.

 

Gordon Position CB/TB -of course everyone knows he is the younger brother of Miss. State Guard Jamont Gordon. He started every game as freshman for HHS at cb. Plays some offense.

 

Jefferson Position Ath-He could very well be Ensworth's version of Golden Tate.

 

Davis very athletic QB. he could start for almost any other metro program. due to antioch's large population he's the 2nd string qb. but he will be good.

 

Keep an eye on all four of those names. One of the better skilled position classes in metro in a long time.

 

All of them are # 2, except for Gordon(#3).
