No one and I mean NO ONE is better that Jamin Godfrey from McMinn Central right now! Best leg I have seen in years in high school football.

 

Yea he is good and has a strong leg but what i have seen. when he is warming up before a game it is very hard for him to hit a field goal from the hash.. so he cant be to good

Derrick Brodus (Jr.) from Alcoa and Zach Sharp (So.) from Maryville are the two best kickers I've seen this season.

 

Brodus has sent well over 90 % of kicks into the endzone this season, and that's a lot considering how much Alcoa scores. He hasn't attempted too many field goals (once again due to Alcoa's explosive offense), so he's only hit 3 or 4 this year. However, I have seen this kid hit from 55 yards in warm-ups. I've heard rumors he's getting interest from some D-1 programs such as MTSU and a handful of others, but I hear time and time again that he wants to play soccer in college.

 

Sharp is the same way. When I was at the MHS-Cleveland game Friday I found it funny that the Cleveland return men would just stand at the goal line almost completely motionless and watch kick after kick go over there head into the endzone. I saw Sharp attempt a 55 yard FG against Alcoa this year, and even though the kick was missed wide left it would been easily good from 60. I keep hearing that some recruiting services have Zach ranked as the #2 kicker in the nation for the 2011 class. Now that's impressive!

Is the Alcoa kid out of football now?

Yall can keep all of the one's listed. I pick John Long of Ooltewah. His name says it all "LONG."

 

He has already sent several kickoffs through the uprights in recent games with it being freezing cold outside. His accuracy is incredible and we still get his services for one more year. The one thing that really sets him apart form other quality kickers is his speed and tackling ability. He has had several touchdown saving tackles this year, but most of his kicks have been touchbacks.

No one in the state touches jared white from trousdale county. Ive seen this kid boot them through from 55 yards in the rain during the halftime of the Watertonw-Trousdale matchup. Every kickoff is a touchback, some of them through the endzone. He made a 50 yarder in a game this year, he is a beast.

 

 

 

They list his longest at 50.

There is a kid in Johnson County High.When he kicks it on opening kickoff 7 yards deep in the inzone every time

 

 

his name is Christian Pruddhome. he got hurt middle of the season though, tore his acl playing wide reciever. he is the best athlete we had on the team so he had to play WR/CB/K. when healthy he can kick 50+ yard field goals with room to spare and kicks in the end zone every time on kick off.

    • Never said I thought it was a smart decision. I'm scratching my head at it too.
    • If he wanted to play QB he should have either went to Heritage or William Blount and had a real good chance there. In stead he'll be exactly what he was going to be at Maryville. They already know who their QB is going to be in 2025 and it ain't going to be him.
    • Easier said than done. The man who ran for 250+ yards and 3TDs is gonna be back….and a lot bigger.
    • plus it removes the pressure around winning.
    • You are correct.   The teacher's pay scale is virtually the same in Knox County, now, as it is at Oak Ridge.   The coaching supplements are still higher at Oak Ridge, from what I was told, but not a huge difference.   Plus, Rusty is going from a position coach to an OC position, which is what he was at South Doyle and where his comfort zone is.  And from a special education teaching slot to a PE teaching slot.  There is a lot of positivity in that move without even considering the coaching aspect.   Anybody who sees something negative here is just looking for negativity to begin with.  But some live in that world.   Really good hire for Brent.  He now has two experienced and quality coordinators and can concentrate on being a head football coach.
