Another question to ask would be, what IF Rice and Winn had played as many quarters as Wilkes? How much better would their numbers be? It's not really a fair analysis when you have one finalist who has played the whole season while the other 2 have played half a season if not less. I'm just making conversation. Not taking anything away from anyone at all!

I was about to say the same thing. The same could be said for someone without any help. No disrespect toward Wilkes at all because I've personally seen him play & he is special but would his numbers be what they are if he did have help & Lake County wasn't so one dimensional?

Read my post above>Did these other players have to also play defense or have the luxury of sitting,Again.Wilkes could have had 3000 yards had the coach chose to do so.Look at the Greenfield score.Scored 74 points in the game.60 was at the half.Same for Fulton co.Could have ran for a lot more against Gleason.Humboldt is the only game where Wiles had to really carry theload with the qb out and a receiver having quti also and LC only having about 20 players.

Bigger your argument could have had more yards if played full games could be made by WC and dresden as well so that is irrelevant. However I do think LC numbers more impressive based on no help and everyone focusing on him. I do think your and horses analogy if you swapped players around ,LC numbers get even better with the real lines and support and other 2 kids probably go down. With that said Winn and rice their mvp and has been shown in WC case their supporting cast not stellar but avg with out him, same for dresden if you look at last year without winn

If you'll go back and look at some of my posts you'll see that in some games Lake Co shut Wilkes down or didnt run him at all.That when they had the quarterback and other receiver.For instance,against Fulton Co and Greenfield.Had about 60 points at the half and he had over 200 yards.Coach could have let him get 500 yards had he wanted.Also in week 7 against Gleason.Lake Co winning by about 24 points going in the last quarter.Wilkes had around 250 yards.Quarterback Johnson,which was his last game had runs if about 50 and 60 yards.Thought Wilkes would have been getting the ball at that time,knowing he may be a Mr.Football candidate.But the coach didnt run him.A player gets close to 200 yards against Union City he earned his yards.And he did.Union City hit him hard.Sometimes a yard or 2.Sometimes 4.Hit hard.Got back up and ran for 70 yards..Read the other posts about someone thinks he's better than a kid now playing at Bama.Wilkes is all LC had.Not saying the others dont deserve it as well .Winn is a great athlete.Could Rice have big numbers at Lake Co playing with the receivers we had?But as far as playing every down every game,that's not what happened.Coach isnt going to have 60 points against Greenfield at the half and Wilkes over 200 yards and try to score 90 points,Lake Co had a quarterback then that started running the ball and he put Ismail in the game running some.I can promise you that if Rice had played against Union City,Trenton and Dresden,his numbers would have been down.We're talking about backs having a great year with a thousand yards or averaging a hundred yards a game and here is a guy that averaged 230 yards a game and had to play defense as well.Did the others also start on defense or did they have enough players to have the luxury to sit them down.Or at least give them a break late in the games.

I don't believe Rice numbers would have been down if he played those schools. Actually think the numbers would have been better. That's just my honest opinion. I can't speak on the part of Wilkes because I haven't seen him play. I've seen both Rice and Winn.

As I said, I'm not disrespecting Wilkes at all & in all honesty I'd love to see him win because Winn still has next year. I'm just saying, when you play on a team that is structured around you & you're basically all they have, you do stand out as a superstar. Dresden has a lot of talent around Winn so he doesn't stand out quite like Wilkes does & his numbers obviously aren't anywhere close to Wilkes because he has a lot of help. Dresden actually has another back I could actually see in the running for Mr Football as well next year that does play both sides of the ball if he continues to do big things.

I was not saying Wilkes should be penalized fr being on a 5-5 team. I was saying IF TSSAA does this awaed anything like NCAA does with the Heisman then it would hurt his chances.

 

The young man from Lake County has some off the charts rushing numbers. I would really like to know his FULL stats. Like Passing, Receiving and Special Teams but have yet to get those..

when a running back has more yards rushing than a qb has passing yds.give him the trophy.and it don't matter how many qts they played.

    • 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.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
