I apologize if there is already a thread on this, but I didn't see one.   I got my ballot this week and would like some input of who is worthy.    Please include School, Name and most importantly, their jersey numbers (this is what we turn in on the ballot).   Any stats to support your nominee appreciated.    This year, only one Mr. Football per class so nominate backs and lineman here along with any kicker you deem worthy (Only one award for entire State at kicker).  Thanks

I would like to throw out the name Jajuan "Speedy" Foutch (#3) from Friendship Christian School.  Jajuan has 97 carries for 1,196 yards, with an average of 12.3 yards per carry and 19 TD's rushing through 8 games.  I realize that there are others with more yards and very deserving, but Speedy has not touched the field in the second half 4 times and has played all 4 quarters only twice.  He is absolutely electric with the ball in his hands and has tremendous speed.  He is being recruited by several D-1 and FCS programs alike.

The TSSAA reduced this award this season to just one per class plus an overall kicker.  Terrible idea.  There should be one lineman and one skill player.  I don't see how a lineman will ever get this award moving forward:

Also, They announced this change in August for this year.  Again, terrible.  If it effects the current athletes they should have given them time to process through.  Making a decision like this during the current year is just simply a bad decision.

For what it's worth:

FCS Foutch, MJCA Hylick, TKA Burgess, NCS Myers, DA Hewitt & Stone, MTCS McGowan, Tipton Rowan.

Also it drives me nuts that the AP doesn't break down rankings for DII.  All three classes are in the top ten so we don't have rankings for this classification.  Like the TSSAA just lazy journalism.

Think the conversation ends with these four backs:

Da'joun Hewitt (#1 Davidson)

Darius Hylick (#5 MJCA)

Xavier Myers (#26 Nashville Christian)

Jajuan Foutch (#3 Friendship Christian)

 

Stone Norton (Davidson), Kemari McGowan (MTCS), Cole Lusbu (TKA) are also in the top tier.

+1 on those 4 backs. I honestly don't know much about the West teams though. Anybody got any stats for those teams in D2-A?

    • I have no issues with the Karns Middle School program.   Good coaches and he's with the kids he goes to school with.  He's a rising 6th grader who had to play with 6th grade kids last year because Karns didn't have enough kids for a 5th grade age team.  He's in a good place at this point.   My daughter is a single mom with 4 kids under 11 years old.  We help her out with logistics, so staying in our own area right now is important.  Once he gets to high school age, who knows what happens?  That bridge will be crossed when we get there.  
    • I know he was a backup but I thought he filled in well when the starter went down. Never a bad thing to have a change of pace back 
    • That would be a good get for them. Lowe always finds a way. Pretty sure they have their Rb from last year returning but not that line of beef
    • One school has said it, it was York…who Oneida and many school that played them before we did claimed that they were the dirtiest bunch they’ve played. Riverside didn’t call us dirty nor did smith after they beat us. Ur only dirty if your the one giving out the whoopins.
    • If it was anyone but #8 I would agree with you. Theirs a couple people on that team that probably would. Not him. And I who was standing on the 1st base line fence saw clearly that the boys foot was covering more than half the bag.
