We'll see if this staement holds true tonight when they play the Camden Lions and meet Chase "Moose" Horton a powerful runner. But "Moose" is also a great tackler look for him tonight if ya go #40 he's beast.

40 is good player,but it took several lions to try to keep 76 and 25 from westview out of their backfield

Some of the ones mentioned I am familiar with but, this list wouldn't be complete withour at least Tyler Reeder and John Campbell (LB's from McKenzie) to the list. There are a few others from McKenzie that might deserve to be on the list as well but, we'll start there.

#45 JOSEPH BENNETT

 

plays for the christian academy of knoxville (cak)

averaging around 15 Tackles per game

the number one tackler in East TN (says the Knoxville News Sentinel stats)

already 7 sacks and close to the century mark in tackles

 

I'm big on high school and college fooball and I've watched this kid play.. Incredible athelete.. He has a nose for the football.. He's not really great on size and doesn't really hit too hard but he knows how to get to the football.. Great ball player.. I have seen some of the stats and the film to go along with his games.. The stats are a little padded.. I watched the film on his alcoa game last year where they put he had 26 tackles.. He had 16.. And there's been a couple of other games I've seen him play where the stats are a little more than what he got.. But he's still a great athelete..

One of the things I never see get taken into account when you total someone's stats are game time. When you have a good team that has alot of run away games your starters dont get nearly as much playing time. except for the close games. It is a great thing to be able to have a team strong enough to let your second and even third strings be able to get as much if not more playing time sometimes than your starters. It also enables your team to grow much faster and you can build huge momentum with your young guys already having so much experience, but it also does not allow those standout starter guys to be able to build up those huge numbers that some guys who play alot more game time are able to brag so much about.

 

I have seen teams who lose more games than win with one or two great defensive guys having a junk load of tackles but then you look and see they have played so much defensive game time they just cant help but have huge numbers.

 

I have also seen games where one guy who may not be quite as popular not get credited with a tackle when he initially stands the guy up and someone else clobbers him. .. sometimes not even get mentioned by the announcers.

All stats are subjective ! Primarily to the system used by coaches to break down film. Heck, you got the radio sayin one thing , the newspaper sayn' another, websites sayn' another........ (sigh) wish there was some way to get realistic statistics. Defensive stats are certainly less "cut & dried than say receptions or rushin' yards. Now there is little dispute as to interceptions but tackles, assists, sacks, forced fumbles, etc where is the method to the madness?

I have to echo what has already been said about 20 times! Chase Horton from Camden is one linebacker that can definitely bring the wood! /thumb[1].gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":thumb:" border="0" alt="thumb[1].gif" />

I'm gonna put a plug in for Chris Martin (#73) of Cascade here. He is a big defensive tackle weighing at around 285 and has made some huge tackles for losses this season. He is showing some great senior leadership on the field and should draw some attention if he continues to play this way. We have a couple of more college prospects on that D-line in Nathan Armstrong and Timmy Sanders which make it tough to run the ball up the middle against the Champs!
