Malaki Dowell has had an amazing season this year.  The Warriors were back in region play this year and placed in one of the most difficult regions in the state.  He was always the number one focus of every defense the Warrior's faced. In nine games he has ran for over 2,000 yards.  He has had some mind blowing runs and some nice plays on defense but the two plays that define who he is have happened in the team's last two games.  The first happened on an interception thrown by the Warriors against Hunter's Lane.  It would have been easy to let the play go with the game in hand but Malaki did his best DJ Metcalf impersonation and showed unparalleled speed and heart to chase down a very speedy defensive back.  But the play that impressed me the most happened last night. Malaki had over 180 yards and four touchdowns in the first half.  When given in the ball in the third quarter he broke loose on a long run, putting him well over the number needed to reach the 2K mark, however as he approached the goal line he did something  special.  He went down on his own, he slid just short instead of going in for touchdown number 5. He then came off the field to hand shakes and pats on the back while his friend who is a Senior went in the game to  score the final touchdown.  Coaches around the country may begin to take notice of the eye popping numbers and amazing plays on film, but if they look a little closer they will see something much greater that they will want on their team, character, humility and love for his teammates. I can't wait to see what the future has for this young man!

      I heard they have most of their team coming back. Who is the next coach?  Also, what about Chester County? That one has been open for a while.  Gibson County also???

      Marion had no answer for groves last year and he’s added a lot of weight since last year already. And the other groves Marion couldn’t block…he’ll be back.

      I don't know what's going on in the town of McMinnville, but I've read this and it's disturbing.  I'm a "player" person, and I want what's best for the player. If a player gets cut off the team because she said the "F word" then good grief. I mean, come on guys. I wish there was a way for the player to transfer to a different program and just play ball. There are a lot of athletes that are stuck because they're in crappy situations regarding their team/coach. This is player just happens to be one them.

      Won't happen. College coaches will back the coach every time and it cost this young lady her senior season. Looks like the player may be right on this one. School let her  go after one season. This stuff happens more than you think.
