Congrats to both!

Yeah, 5A was a complete screw job. No way Kalib Fortner shouldn’t have won. Plays better competition and had the better stats for his position. It’s all about who’s committed to where. Complete BS.

Not gonna doubt the level of competition Central plays, but Kollie had 1900 all purpose  yards and over 100 tackles. Destin Wade nearly 3000. Fortner had 85 tackles and 200 all purpose yards. Kinda hard to claim favorites when the stats favor the other 2 finalists

If our RBs, better yet Kalib’s brother Liam, would’ve ran against the same teams Kollie did they would have EASILY had that many all purpose yards. Heck Liam had over 1500 vs the teams we play. Wade deserved the award before Kollie did. Either way it was a screw job and the only reason he won it is because of where he’s committed. Change my mind

Once again, not disputing the level of competition, you said he has better stats, which he doesnt. 1900 AP yards and 100 tackles > 200 AP Yards and 85 tackles. Your acting like him winning the award was based solely on his college choice when he has the stats to back it up

i’m honestly shocked Wade didnt win it. Seemed to be the best player in 5A and even beyond that for alot of the year. Including a heck of a tear through the postseason to win a state title

Agreed. He was the most dynamic guy as an OR fan I saw all year, and add to that the fact that his team won it all too? Only seems right to me to give him the award.

Unfortunately, voting ends well before end of the playoffs. I've always been for having the awards a few weeks later so postseason play can be accounted for

dumb. it should definitely take playoffs into account. but even before that i don’t see how anyone in 5A was better than him. he is quite possibly P4P the best football player in the state of tennessee this year. definitely atleast in the conversation

Right there with ya. Unfortunately, some voters view it as a career achievement award. It won't be easier for him to win the award next yr moving up to 6A
