Kicker is tough with only one for all classifications.  Chandler Caughron at ECS, Noah Grant at BCS both out of Memphis, Connor Wood at Lexington in  West TN, Garrett Taylor with Oakland in Middle TN.  There's a lot of good kickers out there with with D1 talent

Yep! We know them all!!! Scott has been to numerous camps with all of them and has beat them out at several camps as well as they beat Scott. We respect every one of them! But you don't know until their Numbers come out. They are all Products of James Wilhoit!!!! To me the best kicking coach in the country!!!

Stone Memorial quarterback Thomas Arnold has the numbers to be a finalist in Class 4A (Cade Ballard obviously has the award in the bag and Stanton Martin will be a finalist too).

 

Arnold has 32 total touchdowns (16, rushing, 15 passing, 1 Pick-6) , 1,054 passing yards and 1,111 rushing yards. Panthers are 7-1 and #10 in the state.

I would go Corey Russell Elizabethton. I know here comes the greenies. But Corey is an Athlete not just a QB. He can and will play any position on the field.

I want to mention Marcus Hayes of Covington. This sophomore running back only got to start after our senior running back was injured. Through 8 games, he has the following stats:

rushing 101 carries for 1308 yards (13 yd/carry) and 16 rushing TD's

kickoff returns (teams now avoid kicking to him):

8 returns for 426 yards (53.2 yd avg) with 2 TD's

Stats courtesy of shelbymetrosports website.

These are eye-popping stats for a guy who started the year on the bench. I know that seniors usually win this award, but this player is special.

That was his stats before last weeks game.

Here is a Crazy Stat.  Cade Ballard has only 18 incomplete passes so far this year to 29 TD and 0 INT's and 2,125 passing yards.  I don't know what the state record is for Completion % in a year but Ballard should be close or have broken it.  He is 104 for 122 passing with a Completion % of 85%
