Rather than argue about something 2 years ago. What does Forrest bring to the table. In the past its been strong physical running backs. You guys just plug and playing with a new one this year or has things changed up. Always look forward to this match up. 

We have 5 backs averaging between 6-8 yards a carry and the carries are spread out evenly. Four of the five will be back next year. They're doing this against teams lined up to stop the run and no real passing threat to get defenses out of the box. Offense is as vanilla as you will find in the final 8 of any classification. 

We've had the luxury of having a McClendon brother to plug in for the last ten years. All fit the bill as strong physical running backs. The 4th and youngest was the player who suffered the spinal cord injury last season. Micah is working very hard  trying to regain some use of his arms and legs.  He would have been our featured back this season. 

Two other running backs who would be seniors transferred after their freshman year. One was a 3 year starter at Cornersville and the other has started both ways for 5A State Champ and now 6A undefeated Summit. So as solid as our running backs are now those two would have received the bulk of the carries.

Yeah definitely going to be a load to stop. Heard the running game been hard to stop and everyone knows it’s coming. A lot of prayers still getting sent up for the McClendon kid. Pray his rehab keeps going well

    • I have no clue if Derek tried to talk some since into his dad or not about staying here. All he is going to accomplish is going from the oven to the frying pan. If I were the coach all Ale would freze over before I set back and watched one of my good players leave without a fight.
    • If this is true, South Gibson is taking a big chance. Passing on an experienced coach for a guy who has never coached at the high school level is a high risk move, especially in that district and region.
    • Dorian Eskridge was HVA's best back, 2011
    • Jo Byrns was a very solid team last year. Imo, I thought they presented the biggest challenge for us on our path to winning it all last year. I expect them to be in the conversation and one of the final few teams playing in Murfreesboro
    • I'm not sure you understand anything if you think DB's career and AD's career are comparable.  This is a terrible take.   Not to slight AD, He was a good player and he got better as he matured after high school.   But Desean had over 8,000 yards in HS and was a two-time Mr. Football.
