Mr. Football 5A

[50jumper]

Someone started this topic for 6A, could not find it for 5A. What's everybody's opinion?

weston hazlehurst, 1450 yards rushing, over 9 yards a carry, 19 rushing td's i think, tons of tackles including somewhere around 14 for a loss on the season. Scary part of it all is that he has that many yards and tds even though he plays alongside a 1300 yard passer too.

Hazelhurst all the way. Is the best player in East Tennessee and has the stats to back that up. If someone has better numbers than him with an 8-0 team record than show it to me, put if Clinton wins out and he keeps putting up 200 yrds a game, its not even a question he is Mr. Football for 5A

Is it possible that a player could make all-state on both offense and defense? Has it ever happened before? I would have to think that Hazelhurst is a threat for both, Ethel, Dragon 92, what do you think?

I think Stone has a legit shot at the QB position.

stone wont be able to win it on stats alone, if they take clutch play and efficiency, no ints, into account then he has a legit shot but this isnt a super pass happy offense, but when you have hazlehurst thats to be expected. i dont think weston will win it for defense though, hes def more than deserving but he doesnt have huge numbers to push him to the top which is understandable seeing as the team he plays for is on offense alot more than defense, he'll probably finish with around 75-80 tackles for the season which is good, but if joey allen didnt win it his senior year with around 110 tackles then i dont think weston can win it with those numbers especially since hes only in the top 25 in the area in one statistical category (tackles for loss). as far as winning it for running back he should win it hands down especially if he comes up big in the next two games. hes already on pace for around 1700 yards rushing and 22 touchdowns with a 9 yard avg. and he'll also finish with probably 200 recieving yards and 2 touchdowns thats nearly 2000 total yards and around 25 td's for the regular season, phenomenal stats on a great team with lots of other weapons, lets remember that stone and powell have combined to rush for over 600 yards and 11 touchdowns as well so its not like hes the only star on a bad team, hes putting up crazy numbers on a great team that doesnt even have to rely solely on the run. all im saying is that if he doesnt win mr. football for 5a it will be the biggest rip off since manning in the heisman.

I agree Ethel. I know he wouldn't win Mr. Football on both sides of the ball. My question is about the all-state team, is it possible to make tha all-state team on both sides? Great assessment of the Dragons btw

not sure about that one, i hope he does it would be a great honor for a great young man, stone is def the flash for the team but weston is def the heart of it. i like to think of him as our own tebow, he plays with that kind of passion and is kinda built like a smaller version of him, his running game is also similar if you watch him, neither have break away speed really but are faster than billed and neither have really great moves but are just elusive enough and so strong that they rarely get hit hard enough on the first one to go down. they both also read lanes and blocks extremely well, i really hope he can make it to the next level, id love to see him play for a team like MTSU or TN Tech.

he's a heck of a running back theres no doubt about that and he could possibly be on the all state team for running back but i dont think he's near as good of linebacker as he is runningback i think he's just an above average linebacker but i hope the best for the kid i'd like to see him play later on

lineman?

Hallsfan, there's no doubt he's a great RB. The funny thing is that he is mostly being recruited as a LB.

I think they will have Class AAA awards, not separate for the 5A and 6A playoff divisions.

Tra'Darius Goff from Columbia Central High School should be nominated for the Back in 5A.
