I thought Banks was a key contributor to Gallatin's success. He was injured early season and played well on offense and defense. He had 1000+ yards rushing while spitting carries with So. Jordan Mason who should be a future D1 caliber athlete. He is not Jalen Hurd or Josh Malone. 9AAA has been spoiled to see those kids the last few years but, Banks just turned 16 yrs old mid way through the season and we should see a more physically imposing athlete his senior year.

I didn't think he had that many yards..he wasnt impressive against beech springfield x2 or hendersonville..his biggest issue will be staying out of trouble...

Gallatin as a whole was not impressive versus Beech, Hendersonville and Springfield this year. Many key players injured early but Banks did have 100+ yards vs Beech and 1000+ on the year. I have not heard of him getting in trouble and hear he is a good student as well.

 

There are many excellent backs returning for these Sumner County teams all of which should have a bright future playing at the next level.

In fact I have heard several times about Banks avoiding trouble. The kid has a bright future if he continues on this path. I look for him to really improve this next year. If he can gain some muscle mass then the rest of the district is in trouble.

Didnt his brother Darian Banks get locked up for burglary in Hendersonville?

I think so. Doesn't mean he will.

 

 

Was Dorian with him? No. He is not his brother. Let's talk football.

Haha it was a simple question, i was going to look up his brothers stats the other day to see how he was doing in college and i saw that and i wanted to confirm it was him. Hopefully he does stay out of trouble and plays for UT.

Oh, got it. Then ask to begin with instead of impling his brother as a trouble maker.

 

Beech will have the best trio of backs in the district as long as they stay out of trouble, I mean healthy. 😉

 

What ever happened to Travis Haymer?

Not sure where he is now, but never played in college.  He ran as hard as any high school rb I ever saw.  Wish he could've taken it to the next level.

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
