He been making teams look silly since his sophomore year!!!  So yeah he's very impressive, go look on page 4 on this tread to see for yourself.

Parker and James has the same running style the only difference  I see  is James can juke you and he will run you over. Both are good backs

Yeah James is good! But my opinion Parker is better, Parker has better vision, more elusive in open field. Plus he can play multiple positions on offense and not miss a beat. So to me you can't compare the two, but yes James is a good RB.

I've watched James for the last 4 year's. Good athlete but not nearly as good as Parker. When you add in who they've played it shows that Parker is the much better player.

That  isnt impressive Camden  not a good team

You say that but at the same time where not a 1 man team. We almost have 3 1000 yard backs. If jay would have played 3 or 4 Quarters it would have been ridiculous and for what?

At the same time you add the defenses Parker has done it against and the defenses James has played? Just a few team. Mba,Marshal county,Cpa and to James case Stratford. 25 for 125 vs 5 for 100 2q....0_o Not knocking James because he is a good RB but show me a highlight with him against a top 5 team in any classification.

James didn't play in the  first game of the  season and 4 games he only  played 2 quarters. And has made it to the  end zone 30 times. He is very versatile can play slot, back and has played qb . Ran for I believe  169 yd against a very good Ravenswood defense. It doesn't matter what level he played he is going to give you 100%

Parker only played 8 Regular season games also. Never said that he wasn't gone give yall 100%. Parker gives us 100% every game and very humble and not selfish. We are blessed to have more then just parker. http://www.hudl.com/profile/4178731/jimmyrious-parker Heres his updated highlights with camdan,mba,hillsboro,cpa,cordova ,startford,Cookeville & MC

Parker is much more impressive, the quality of opponents that he faced isn't even a comparison. Honestly, just as i read earlier in the boards, Giles QB should be in the race. Didn't James have around the same rushing totals last season? I know his TD weren't as many, but he wasn't even an all region selection last season with around the same totals. I don't believe it matters what anyone says on a CoachT message board at this point, but Giles QB should have been a semi finalist and Parker is most impressive based on quality of opponents.

If you're going by stats alone they RE back or Lowe from Bolivar are the players to look at. Lowe has 1,800 yards passing and 940 rushing. Lowe put up those numbers while sharing the load with a 1,500 yard rusher.

Still say Jack Warwick is the best player in 3A.  Already has 2 rings and might get a 3rd this year. Ask Maryville or DB fans who the best 3A player in the state is.  Does his best work against the toughest competition. Usually is done in the 2nd quarter against most region opponents.

Football defense

Quentin Williams, Southwind: Williams intercepted two passes and broke up two others to help the Jaguars defeat Clarksville Northeast, 35-28, in Class 5A. One interception was returned 70 yards for a touchdown and pulled Southwind to within a point at 28-27 after trailing 28-7.
