Ethan Thomas elizabethton high school

 

6'1" 215 running back

5 games played

88 carries for 1040 yards

11.8 ypc

Average y/g 208

15 touchdowns

Average quarters played 2 1/2

 

 

Thomas can set the all-time Northeast Tennessee record for rushing yards by gaining 122 in Friday’s game against Happy Valley. He has 5,408 in his career, second only to West Greene’s Dalton Boles (5,530).

 

One scary thing for opponents about Thomas is the 6-foot-1, 215-pound senior keeps getting better. Each game he appears to be doing things at a higher level, getting harder to stop. This year, Thomas has already gained 1,040 yards and has totaled 17 touchdowns in five games.

 

And despite stacked boxes and Thomas-focused defenses, he is averaging 11.8 yards per carry.

 

Excerpt from Johnson city press article.

 

This kid makes defenses look silly.drags multiple defenders for extra yardage. Breaks tackles like no one I've ever seen. If you haven't seen him run the football go to YouTube and watch some highlights.

As always Tennessee fails to get big commits from the hot bed of talent in Memphis. Under armour all American josh mcmillon from Whitehaven. Dillon Mitchell from white station committed to Oregon yesterday. Drew Richmond committed to Olemiss. And a boatload of other BCS recruits from the MTown Wil not be at UT. They don't market themselves well in Memphis

What does Butch Jones have to do differently in Memphis? He's pulling them in from everywhere else and everybody seems to really like him. I haven't studied the two players that commited to Oregon but I do think it takes a different type player to play in the SEC. I would like to see Tennessee pull more players from Memphis though. Whats it gonna' take?

    • And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…
    • Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads. 
    • Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.
    • After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time. 
    • Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
