Guest caligula Posted August 25, 2002 Report Share Posted August 25, 2002 Posted by TheCoach93:Who is the best Running Back in TN and why? Carl Stewart 2001 AP and TSWA all state teams. MVP (off) Blue Cross Bowl, 1500+ yds 22 tds while as part of a duo (imagine if he was a single back) did not average more than 15-20 touches a game. #65 prospect in the nation according to Border Wars and the Insiders. Top prospect for Auburn. 3.9 GPA so no academic worries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jiveturkey Posted August 25, 2002 Report Share Posted August 25, 2002 Chris Davis of Morristown West, he's fast, strong, and big(220). Carl Stewart of Maryville is another excellent runner, fast strong and a big play maker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEgoHasLanded Posted August 25, 2002 Report Share Posted August 25, 2002 Abe Felix had more rushing yards then anyone, and is basically a one man show for Houston. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheEgoHasLanded Posted August 27, 2002 Report Share Posted August 27, 2002 If Carl Stewart played for Houston instead of Maryville...Houston wouldn't have been nearly as good, and I think any Germantown player would agree...but I think Stewart has a lot better future, its just one of those odd things (like sometimes a qb is great in one system, and just average in another).

mhsrbl202 Posted August 27, 2002 Report Share Posted August 27, 2002 Carl Stewart, no question. Takes 4 or 5 guys to bring him down. Had better stats than most guys in the state as part of a duo. Unstoppable. SEC material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just1np Posted August 28, 2002 Report Share Posted August 28, 2002 I think Felix is a solid pick. Gallatin has a Sr. named Jaquez Williams. He goes 6'3"- 205lbs. I, by no means, think he is the best. But he has gotten looks from MTSU, Vandy, and UT. 3.6 GPA in Honors classes. Also plays linebacker. I could see him going somewhere as a strong safety or maybe as a linebacker. But he is a solid back. Didn't have impressive #s last year because he split carriers with two other guys. This year he should get 20-25 touches a game. I think the kid at Blackman(Turner?) is a good back also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyinpro Posted August 28, 2002 Report Share Posted August 28, 2002 Last year when Red Bank came to Maryville in the semi's and many UT fans showed to see G. Riggs, the UT signee, they saw him shut down on every try. He carried about 35 times and got about 65 yards. Many asked who this Carl Stewert kid was. Watching the two backs one wonders if UT got the wrong back. Carl will have a great year behind Maryville's big and experienced line for sure.

Carl would be great on any team no matter what. Whether it was Alcoa, McGavok, Houston, Bolton, or Buckethead High. Kids like this are hard to doubt. He will be in the SEC next year mark my word. And if he went somewhere else his GPA would be 4.0+ instead of that crappy god-awful 3.9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEgoHasLanded Posted August 28, 2002 Report Share Posted August 28, 2002 Please reread what I said before responding to that, I never said Carl wouldn't be good on a team, I said that Felix might be more important for Houston then Stewart might be for Houston.

RyanRowdy Posted August 28, 2002 Report Share Posted August 28, 2002 hey flyinpro. Maybe Riggs didnt have his O-line that he had his junior year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
