TCA Quarterback Andrew Goldsmith

As most on this forum know, I am part of the radio broadcast crew for TCA.  I make this post to give recognition to an outstanding performance that I was witness to this past Friday night.

 

On this past Friday night against Scotts Hill, TCA quarterback Andrew Goldsmith had a night for the ages.  He rushed for 439 yards on only 24 attempts in the game, scored 5 rushing touchdowns, he passed for 91 yards completing 8 of 11 attempts with 2 touchdowns, and he intercepted a pass and returned it 40 yards for a score.  He also had 7 tackles in a somewhat limited defensive role.  

 

While doing some research this afternoon in the online version of the TSSAA football record books, I have found that his performance puts him in the record books in three different categories.  He is now tied for 6th place (along side Demetrius Bailey of Union City)for Rushing Yards In A Single Game with 439.  Goldsmith is also tied for 10th place with multiple players for most touchdowns scored in a game with 6.  Goldsmith also set a new state record for Rushing Yards For A Quarterback In A Single Game with 439.  That broke the record that was held by Upperman's Conner York who had 376 rushing yards against Tyner back on 11/15/13.

 

I am very honored to have been a part of the radio broadcast team on that faithful night.

 

Well done Andrew. Well done indeed.

Well done Andrew. Well done indeed.

Fun fact. I was a sophomore when Demetrius Bracey ran for 400+ on us ... that was also my best game 20 tackles and a sack

Thanks for sharing this!  Man among boys right there.  His teammates seem to really love blocking for him and seeing him tote the rock for him.  Good stuff to see.

    • Trinity Christian Academy will host the West Tennessee High School Basketball All-Star games on Saturday.  The girls game starts at 5 and boys will play at 6:30. In the boys game, Mr Basketball finalist Maliki Brooks from Union City is scheduled to compete. On the other side, the ultra talented AJ Morman will be defending the hometown turf one last time. West Tennessee Sports will livestream the two contests beginning at 4:50 pm Saturday.  The broadcast link is https://www.facebook.com/WestTennesseeS1. Stan Gerard will have the call of both games.
    • Do you have contact numbers for these coaches or schools 
    • My honest prediction for us this year is that we will be slightly worse than we were last year. I hope I’m pleasantly surprised but I don’t see it happening. Lost some seniors who had been playing since day 1 as freshman. Lost a lot on the line. It will be an uphill battle for us. Hopefully we improve as the year progresses and maybe will have a dog in the fight by playoff time
    • With the loss of 5 players plus losing the 8th graders I can't see Greenback fielding much more than a 18 man team this year and if so the Sunbright game may be their only chance of a win from what I heard this morning.
    • Yes I think Fillies will be really good by end of season.  They are missing their Sr center right now who is a game changer and they are meshing all these freshman with three starting senior guards from last season.  Looking forward to seeing them get better and better.
