Best RB in 5A

[8BALL]

I'd have to agree. I think Scott Thomas is a legit Mr. Football with his numbers

which are what?

You crack me up. You sound like the democrats with your statistics. He ran for positive yards and a TD in the remaining 18 carries. That is a 75% success rate, pretty dang good in my opinion.

i agree. saying a back only had so and so if you take away his 8 carries for over 10 yards. that is like saying georgia stopped tennessee if you take away their 7 scoring plays. i mean they weren't successful on the other 66 plays, right?

Aaron Crawford from Ridgeway by far.

Aaron gets my vote!!!!!!!!

Before Friday was still leading the Memphis area after sitting out one game due to injury.Did not play this week,should be ready for final 2 games and playoffs.

mcdermott passed the 1,100 yard mark this past week with 160+ yards against the govs including a TD run on 3rd & 10 in OT. avg is about 7 ypc. he only played the 1st qtr and OT period against OR, and had about 75 yards, due to injury and only got a few snaps against SD for the same reason. he torched a capable rhea co. D for 230+ yards the week before OR. he very easily could have 100+ more if he had played those two entire games. he could have had more than the 135 yards he had against farraguts D if mcminn hadn't been down so much in the 2nd half and been forced to throw the football. ooltewah has been the only team that has been able to stop him and i think that was more of the owls defensive front winning the line of scrimmage. with heritage and bradley left to play, i would predict he'll end regular season with about 1600. I can't comment on the rest of the state but I don't think there is a better back in the region (and there are many...marshall, walker, sterling, moody, bingham). I do like the marshall kid from ooltewah though. he runs hard every snap. if mcdermott ever gets to that point, watch out!!

 

Crawford passed the 1100 yard mark too...but that was durin g week 5 he has sat out the past 2 games.

Brad Seaton. enough said

Dont know much about 5A outside of West TN so wit that said im going to have to say Aaron Crawford. The 3rd of the 'Crawford Dynasty' is holding up his end very well. I just wonder 10-20 yrs from now will there be more of the Crawfords to come.

McDermott deserves consideration, very strong and fast back, breaks a lot of tackles. Marshall from Ooltewah and Sterling from Farragut are very good backs also. Marshall is almost impossible to tackle in the open field. I can't comment on much else, because i haven't seen any others play.

best part is that he is a junior

it probly makes me look even worse to change my mind and say that he ran all over us.. but im sure itd look better than to keep trying to say he didnt.

he is a pretty good running back though..

lets get this back on topic..

Who do u think the best running back in 5A is?

[Oskie1]

Mcdermott from McMinn County---- 17 TD's and 1200 yards through 8 games and he did not play but 7 plays in the second half of the Oak Ridge game and had only 11 rushes the following week at Soddy Daisy
