Class A Back Finalist

Kyle Akin, Trinity Christian
Chris Hale, Eagleville
Jajuan Lankford, South Pittsburg

--------------------------

Akin has thrown for more than 2,000 yards this season in leading the Lions to their most successful regular season in school history and the District 15-A championship.

 

“It feels amazing,†said Hale of receiving the honor following a regular season that included a school-record 1,826 yards. He now has a school-record 4,256 rushing yards for his career. “I’m honored to be that first person from here to do it. I’m glad my team has helped me too.â€

 

Lankford has rushed for 1,548 yards and 23 TDs this year, averaging more than 12 yards per carry against a schedule that included seven playoff opponents and five teams that were either district champions or state-ranked. He is also the Pirates’ career rushing leader with more than 5,200 yards.

--------------------------

Lankford is the only finalist for back of the year that plays in 1A and will be facing some tough competition from the other 2. 

I find it odd that we have 8 classes for state championship games (way too many) but only 5 classes for Mr. Football.

It's kinda crazy that Zeman is nominated for Lineman.  You don't really think of him as a lineman, even though he is a great tackler.  Imagine the scenario of Zeman getting Lineman on the Year, and Lankford getting Back of the Year, when at the present Zeman has out-rushed and out-scored Lankford this year.

Yes, it's strange but don't forget that Robert Robinson was up for the award as a lineman in 2007.  It's the TSSAA so we can expect it to not make sense.

That is where they pigeon hole linebackers.  I have never liked that.  It also sells short defensive ends and tackles.
