Mr Football Semifinalist 1A

@BBRaider dude, calm down. These are kids and I am sure everyone of them are deserving of the recognition they are getting. I’m sorry your kid didn’t get the nod, but life’s lessons. I’m sure he’s taking it way better than you, and if he’s not, that may be one of the reasons he’s not on the list. Character goes a long way.

Some folk just can’t handle it.  Since everyone is so biased to SP have them transfer here next year if he isn’t a senior.

Reguardless who made the cut and who did be happy for these kids on a heckuva achievement.

The bottom line is every kid mentioned in this thread is special in one way or another. The kids who DO get the nominations are in no way responsible for the ones who don't. So there is no reason to crucify them, try to negate any of their accomplishments, or one-up them. 

It sucks, but there are only a select few nominations available and it is inevitable that some deserving kids are going to get left out. Best thing they can do is use it as motivation to prove voters wrong in November.

Nobody said you didn't. But if you really think you have one of the five best in 1A every year let alone this year you don't know what you're talking about.

Great post. This entire thread is unfortunate. Someone mentioned it above about some of the kids we have had through the years to not make it  Several of those eventually lead their team to state titles and became game MVP in the process I’d suggest this young man to set his sights on that accomplishment.

Have we had one every single year? I knew we had several, but didn’t realize we have had one every single year since the inception of the award. 

On another note.. the Wellington kid is a very good player. congrats to all that made the cut and also those that didn’t that felt like they should have. Obviously they all had great years.

Apparently it is. Sorry ST I just straight up don't believe y'all have one (sometimes two) of the best 5 players year after year. SP is a great program and a but it's pretty ridiculous. 

Best programs best players make the accolades. Some more than others. If y’all want to start having more make Mr Football just starting winning more. It’s really that simple. The Heisman isn’t given to the best player but to the best player on one of the top teams. Several kids could’ve made it including Willoughby but didn’t. I’m just keeping it real

I'm not mad any of my schools players didn't get nominated because none were deserving. If you think that's my beef then you clearly haven't been paying attention.

I'm not saying he's not. He's definitely a player and I'm sure a good kid. But if he had a different logo on his helmet he wouldn't be up for this award. As Tyrone says I'm just keeping it real.
