2014 Mr. Football Balloting/Recommendations

[ValleyExpert]

My vote goes to McClendon. I really hope he gets a shot to play against the TCA guy.

I have seen McClendon play. He is good but not in same category as Zeman from Marion or Henry from Union City.

Not to beat a dead horse but through 9 games, TCA quarterback Kyle Akin is 175/253/6 for 2690 yards and 37 touchdowns while completing 70.4% of his passes.  He has also run for 329 yards and 3 scores giving him 3019 yards of total offense through the first 9 games.  Akin is only 423 yards and 10 touchdowns away from FIRST PLACE ALL TIME in the TSSAA passing yardage and touchdown passing categories.  Akin's current career numbers are 10556 passing yards and 122 touchdown passes thrown.

 

Akin had 478 yards of total offense (passing and rushing 453/25) against a very good and highly ranked ECS team this past Friday while leading his team to a 35-28 win in the last 4 seconds of the game.  

 

It's also not like Akin is running up numbers against inferior opponents either.  By the end of the regular season, Akin and his team will have played against 6 teams that will be in this years playoffs and two of this years teams also played for Gold Balls last season as well.  

Akin is hands down one of the better QB's to come thru in quite a while.

 

Who is he chasing in both categories, I'm too lazy to look it up?

Valley expert exactly when did you see Mcclendon play?

Columbia Academy's kicker Thomas Garrison has 54 touchbacks already this season along with 50 PATs and a few field goals. He had a kickoff go 4 yards out the BACK of the endzone. He also had a chance to hit a 46 early in the year but hit the left upright near the top. I've also seen him hit 55 yard field goals in pregame warm ups. Not to mention he also has 13 touchdowns and a lot of tackles on defense.

Yeah, I'm trying to figure out how a Marion and Union City expert has seen Forrest play!? Talk about traveling across the state! I guess Valley is Murphy Fair! Wait....even "the guru" tends to stay in middle tn.

Last night Ricky Henry became the all-time leading rusher for UC. I think his body of work speaks volumes. He would have broken the record earlier in the year if he were playing 4 qtrs in every game. He has been pulled at the half in all but 2 of the games this season. This is because of blowouts.

Cosby's Dereck Weeks deserves dome recognition and a thought for this...finished season last night with 2,347 total yards and 27 td's...1,281 rushing yards , 1,066 passing yards , 14 rushing td's , 13 passing td's...

For what it is worth Stavonski Wilkes of Lake Co. finished the regular season with 2094 rushing yards on 175 carries with 25 touchdowns. He has 11 receptions for 194 yards and 2 td's. 2 punt returns for td's and kickoff return for touchdown. He has rushed for at least a 100 yards a game against every opponent that he has faced. Not a bad year for this junior.

Zack Stewart from Coalfield needs to get this award i mean it is only his 5th year of high school football (played as an 8th grader).

[Bulldog94]

Chance Dyer from Cornersville had 1338 rushing yards, 236 receiving yards, and 17 touchdowns and I think 83 tackles.

Well I was close. I just had Zemen in the linemen. Great list for sure.
