Wow, you make such a great argument. Your knowledge of recruiting astounds me.

 

Anyway, both are deserving, however, Corn is a senior with multiple championships as well. If I had to pick one of the two on my team, I chose Hurd.

 

Ensworth vs. Beech. Ensworth due to defense though i believe Beech wound still score 30+. Ensworth does have better week to week competition but, Beech is on that level this past season. If you doubt it, then you are grossly misinformed and yes I have seen both play multiple times though I am not a recruiter.

Elder will be a scat back , slot guy and will have very very good college years... He will not be your 20+ carry guy but 7-10 touches using him in motion most of the time...

Hurd if I was picking a HIGH SCHOOL team he would be my first pick , asides from speed etc etc etc main reason is his size- he is a man playing among boys!!! I know a few in Beech community that says he is fantastic young man...however he won't play RB in college...

EHS beats BHS by 24

Agree on Elder.

 

Agree on Hurd except for the blatant disregard of Hurd's ability to play RB at the next level. Yes, he could be a very good WR as well but don't look for him on the defensive side at all. If you remember on another topic, many running backs who are tall have done very well. Eddie George, Jim Brown, Eric Dickerson, OJ Simpson, Franco Harris, Matt Forte, Brandon Jacobs, Steven Jackson, Darren McFadden are all 6'2" or over. Bo Jackson was a mere 6'1". All are between 215lbs and 235lbs. Hurd is 6'3" and 215lbs. Even if he gains an inch to reach Brandon Jacobs height and gains 20lbs of muscle in the coming years, who cares? He runs a 4.37 and runs bye or through people while staying in stride and at times accelerating as he passes. You are insane to not entertain the possibilities.

 

Lastly, I can agree EHS beats Beech by 24 on a good day and 14 on a bad day. Beech still scores 30+.

I appreciate your opinion as to the head-to-head. I have no opinion on that subject, since they did not play and it does not matter at this point. No common opponents during the 2012 season, though Beech did beat Columbia by 21 in the final at a neutral site, 56-35. For comparison, Baylor also beat Columbia by 21 in week 7 at Columbia (24-7). Ensworth beat Baylor 42-17 in week 4.

Thanks for the appreciation. Head-to-head talk is all in fun. So you are saying Beech could possibly beat Baylor, a private school!!! Quiet! Somebody will hear you.

What sets Hurd apart from your traditional big back is his speed, balance, and footwork for his size. You don't see this often. When he packs on 20 + pounds and maintains these qualities, he will be very effective as a RB anywhere he decides to play at the next level.

 

Elder's career has been great, but who is the Mid-State Player of the "this" Year? I give it to Hurd all day. He doesn't take dives or avoids contact because he's not a 165 lbs. He will run through you, over you, around you, and then by you. He is a complete back. It was most certainly a seniority award. Not taking anything away from Elder because he's a good player, but he's no Jalen Hurd.

 

Also just noticed this earlier... his highlights from this year! Enjoy fellas!

Well, tell that to the number of coaches that want him at that position. Obviously, you're a much better authority on college football than Meyer, Miles, Muschamp, Richt, Jones, Franklin, and on and on, right?

 

Still swingin, I see. This is still coming from the same guy that thought Beech was going to continually get beaten in every game in the playoffs. How'd that work out for you? Your predictions have been so spot on that at this point it appears that Mr. Hurd will not only be a RB, but he will be a world class RB. Cracks me up.... :roflol:

Ha ha please show me where I picked against Beech - fact maybe 2 or best 3 predictions and I had BHS beating MJ and WC

Just b/c a school recruits a kid does not mean/ guarantee he will be a RB

Fact / likes OSU due to promise him RB

Fact / cool to Bama as Nick wants him a WR

Fact - does JH know he had a stalker in you?

Fact - I know more football then you

Fact - merry Christmas

 

Not a stalker, just very close to the family. You may know more about football or you may not, but you don't know more about Hurd and his future plans. So, you won't win this pissing contest. And at the end of the day, keep hating on Hurd and what you think he can't do. He's already easily proved why he's a top stud RB in the nation. That won't change at the next level.

    • We played South Side this summer and it went into OT and we lost on a last second shot. I thought our girls handled their pressure as well as we have in a while and that is the reason I think we will have a really good ball handling team. South Gibson will have their hands full with Dyersburg and South Gibson has never beat South Side. Back to what I was saying South Gibson needs another ball handler especially if they have to play South Side in a do or die game and handle their pressure. As far as who wins our Region, it will be must see basketball for sure and like I said I like our team. I like your team as well. Huntingdon is loaded 5 in and 5 out and you got a great Junior High Team. Huntingdon Fans are going to have a whole lot of fun the next 5 or 6 years. Loretto is really good this year. I got to watch them in Brentwood. They got a Freshman Guard that can go. Going to be a fun year. 
    • After seeing Southside this summer I think they will be better than last season.  Seems that the big three Southside, South Gibson and Dyersburg will be the region favorites once again.  In 2A Gibson County is the favorite in that region with a toss up between Westview and Union City.  I think Memphis Business and Gibson Co will represent the west this season.  I think that Westviews run to glass house may end.
    • South Gibson better get ready to battle in the deep end because South Side and Dyersburg will be a challenge. They will have to beat Dyersburg in the District Finals to avoid South Side in the Region. South Gibson better find another guard that can handle pressure and score to take pressure off of Dunn. They need to learn to score to take it to another level. They scored 29 and only lost by 7 last year at state. As far as Westview and Union City, they will be pretty good but Gibson County might have the best ball handling team we have had in a while this year with four guards on the floor with 3 PG's. We have 3 seniors with tons of experience. I really love this team this year. Looks like Westview lost out to the girl from Florida to USJ. Unless something happens they will have 1 player back with meaningful minutes. I know they will be competitive for sure but they will have their hands full. 
    • South Gibson drags you to the deep end and makes you like it. Tough group that communicates and really seems to love competing.  Union City will be improved but don't know how they handle nights were Moss doesn't go off.  South Side is fast and athletic but I don't think they're as good as last year.  Westview girls will be better later in the season because they are depending on folks that haven't done it yet.  Westview may lose a district game but they'll be the 1 seed over UC.  South Gibson beats Dyersburg for that district. South Side runs Jackson again. 
    • Jasper got insulted like MASE and SP did.    TOP 10 Division I Class 2A Sch. Rank 1. Milan (13-2) 10 2. Bledsoe County (11-2) 14 3. Marion County (13-2) 19 4. Huntingdon (10-3) 5 5. Westmoreland (10-3) 6 6. York Institute (11-3) 9 7. East Robertson (10-2) 30 8. Fairley (11-1) 43 9. Jackson Central-Merry (9-3) 20 10. Summertown (8-3) 26
