actually i really do believe that jordan leedle (goalkeeper for Brentwood) has a great shot. He has, along with the Brentwood defense, shut out all district opponenets this season. To add on to that, he has already broken the Brentwood High School career shutout record with 44, in counting! If you watch him play, enjoy the show /popcorneater.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":popcorneater:" border="0" alt="popcorneater.gif" />

It shouldn't be Leedle at all.

Danny Rayburn (Brentwood's central defense) should get credit for Brentwood's shutouts, and be in the running for POY before Leedle is ever considered.

I dont feel like you have any room to talk. They both complement each other and both do a great job. Watched them play and he gets to take more risks back there because he knows his butt is covered

The most fundamentally sound and enjoyable player I have seen this season is Tyler Gibson, the junior center mid for Catholic. He is highly skilled, absolutely relentless and his field vision and game smarts make all of his teammates better. This kid is a coach's dream and while I doubt he will win POY, either locally or on the statewide basis, I hope he receives serious consideration. I thought he outplayed all three AAA players you mentioned, Carter (Maryville), McCoy (West) and Shoenfeld (Bearden), in head to head match-ups this season. He destroyed Baylor's fine mid-field when they played the Irish and I can't count how many game winning goals and assists he has accumulated this season and last.

 

The truth is, however, it's tough to get votes for a A/AA player unless you win the title or unless you are a National Team player like Tarr at CAK. Nevertheless, I really hope at least the KNS gives him some thought when it names its PrepExtra POY in the Knoxville area.

I agree that Gibson is outstanding. I have been very elaborate with how great of a player I think he is.

MJUB...

What about Tony Garibaldi from Warren Co? Another one of those players that will not get any attention because of the team he plays on, however he was the best forward we faced this year. Deceptively quick and powerful shot with great accuracy.

 

Other coaches...keep him in mind when selecting all state honors. 24 goals, District 7 Offensive player of the year.

Is he getting any looks from any colleges?

 

 

Tyler is just a junior but I am sure he will get many looks. I know the more local schools are already aware of him. I share Frenchfootbol11's size concern because many bigger programs have a definite bias toward bigger and more physical players.

 

So far Tyler's size hasn't affected him much at all. Part of that is simply his intensity and skill. I think another important factor has been the presence of his running mate in the middle, Brian Beckham, who is also very highly skilled midfielder. Brian is a big, imposing, physical player. Most high school teams don't have enough personnel to afford a player to simply muscle Tyler because then Beckham will eat them up. I don't know what next year will be like for Tyler with Beckham having gone on to college. I definitely think both will end up playing well in college.

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
