U.S Army All-American Bowl Nominations

[F5HallOfFamer]

Tyler Maples should have been nominated.

 

Nothing against Anthony Anderson,Kyrus Lanxster,TJ Franklin and Jared McGaha. But those guys arent no where near as good as Tyler Maples.These selections are a joke.

What makes Tyler Maples so good? He is very fast. He is 6,2 180lbs. He has good hands. Runs good routes and he is very elusive. No defensive back in the state can guard Maples.

 

Tyler Maples also comes up big in big games. Last year he caught a slant and took it to the house vs Alcoa. He returned a kickoff vs Powell in the regular season. He caught a fade for a TD vs Central in the regular season. He dominated in the White County playoff game with 2 touchdowns and 2 interceptions. He returned a punt for a TD to score Maryville's first points vs Powell in the playoff game. Then he scored on a 80 yd bomb later in the game. Powell was done after that. In the Central playoff game. Maples runs back the opening kickoff in the 2nd half. In the semifinal at MOWest he scores on a 50 yd touchdown reception. In the state title game vs Melrose he caught several passes that kept drives alive. He also had an interception and several pass break ups in the Melrose game.

 

This year he tore up Alcoa until cramps did him in. Brian Sommer and Kyrus Lanxster couldn't guard him. In the 1st half he had 7 catches for 161 yds and a TD. Maples was by far the best player in the Maryville/Alcoa game.

 

Maples is having another great season.

 

I agree with you, Maples should be on this list! I always thought these all-star teams were nothing more than politics!! On our 2000 team we had 7 players make the all-state team, and not one of us made either all-star game, not even the East-West game!! How is that possible? And we had a Mr. Football finalist! Everyone knows Maples should be on this list!
