A little fired up writing this but the kid is not bad. Not the best arm, but makes up for it with his legs to keep defenses honest.

 

In all fairness though Jackson did not win the award - Something political had to have happened. Absolutely ridiculous system that does not reward the best players.

 

This is thievery and its wrong. I hope if you disagree you can make a case how a one man show can beat a 15-0 state championship resume with a head to head victory by four scores.

I really don’t care what you think of our “losy” football team, but I will say that the committee got this absolutely correct! Mr Jackson was a top 3 football player in this area. He was often the best player on the field in most games. Nobody got robbed here. I am sure WM is a great kid and is much happier winning a state title over a Mr. Football award. Has AC ever had a Mr. Football winner?

Most would take winning a state title over winning Mr. Football 7 days a week and twice on Sunday.

Yes, the head coach for Campbell County won Mr. football when he played QB for AC. I have no problem with who one.  We had a couple games where we had to run the ball because AC QB was having a bad game. AC QB had great stats but was not the best player on the AC team. Fulton kid was the best player on the field. Say this, if the Fulton QB played for AC what kind of season would he have? If AC QB played for Fulton what kind of season would they have? 
 

AC 4A State Champions!!

With a correct system like they do in college actually like it done everywhere than Walker Martinez would have easily been chosen. Say what you want but they have no system whatsoever. Formula and systems are based overall on performance. And as a QB Walker performed and the stats show it. It's a No Brainier. And I would be the first to say they were right on the choice if I could honestly find a truth.

Walker will be fine. It all comes down to facts. Congratulations to Jackson and nothing I have said was meant towards the Mr. Football select. He's an outstanding player. I am glad at least someone won it. Nothing I have complained about will change this outcome but hopefully years to come they can be a lot more transparent and detailed with an explanation. Both players will go on to be great in the community. And I 100% support that. Good job Mr. Football!

If they switched teams, AC qb would have been running for his life in most games. Not sure that is up his alley. He had a great year though and I think he is really dang good football player. I think if Mar Mar plays for AC this year, they still win the whole dang thing. Just my two pennies.

Now I understand why you folks are upset about him not winning. He would be the first legitimate “Maverick” to win it.

He certainly would have been the first Maverick. Just Listen to rerun of Dec 7 Locker Room Chat. A Great program every year and very knowledgeable The Famous two, John SLEEPY Williams and the Great Walter Stair. On Boxcast channel app BBBTV12. These guys are honest and they give nothing but pure common sense. I Try to watch them only in football season and next week they will have my nephew on the 14th Dec. Davey Gillum Defending State Champs and players. Looking forward to  hearing that broadcast. But it's not just a few people that are questioning the sunshine bidding anonymous vote because the committee are not listed specifically. Transparency is a major issue among others. I am trying to do an internal investigation to see who they are and what ties they may have. At worst I am going to try and donate as much as I can afford to each committee member as this should make a difference for who ever gets Mr. Football next year. If you can't beat em than join em.

    • Way late on this post, but I do believe that I want to at least weight in so to speak lol. I wrestled NAIA competed against some of the best wrestler over all a crossed the divisions and felt great about my college wrestling experience. I think people make the mistake in believe that wrestling some how gets easier as a sport at the smaller college divisions it doesn't the training is mostly the same. I have that on good authority from a coach who was a D1 all-American. it's more the commitment level of the competitors that is different. There is talented wrestlers that can go D1 at any level in the smaller division. sub in Sammy Shires for one he would have done fine on a DI team. He chose a work life ratio that suited him. It's not about talent it's commitment are you going to make training and studying the sport the center of your world cause that's what it takes: NO MATTER HOW TALATENTED BEFORE HAND YOU ARE.  If so then D1 is for you and striving for success at that level is for you like Mr. Palmer said it's what your willing to put in. Now coaches if you have a successful wrestler who fits that bill then by all means D1 is a great option they will see some success no matter how small, but if they are not that committed along with being talented and a killer and you know it then your doing them wrong.  You don't have to tell athletes that you don't think they are D1 tell them to keep their options open to take all their visits to consider all the divisions regardless of their goals. college recruiting visits have you most times wrestle against their current wrestlers coaches and athletes  will find out real quick it's not easy no matter where you go. That way when they make their decision it's a sound one that's based on well rounded experiences.     BobCorker, and oceansize42 I believe what you are thinking is correct but for different reasons. TN wrestler's have the talent... it's a commitment level change. TN wrestlers aren't used to having to put themselves through the level of commitment required and kills them on the D1 level.    WrestlingGod, I agree you should push kids to pursue their dreams, but not at the cost of common sense period... we have to much of that going around this country already. Dreams can turn to poison when these wrestler are not educated on what it truly takes. In TN  a kid who understands wrestling to a high level can be successful with small amounts of hard work. They think their definition of hard work is enough for D1 that is the mistake not the "talent/understanding".  Over-all though we do not celebrate NAIA,D2,D3, or Juco success in this state like other states do. GA/AL celebrates all it's college wrestlers success a crossed the  board no matter the division. Why? because it's hard... I have gone to all the divisions National championships let me tell you to be a all-American at any is impressive especially D2 or NAIA. those guys can scrap and not one of those AA's are an easy match. all of them were state placers or champs multiple times in their high school careers. does that at all sound easy to place at? TN does not give those guys enough credit or shout outs period. it's an over sight because of this D1 or it's less than meaningless   mentality on this site and in this state. GA/AL is better then us on the highest stage because they send guys to D2,NAIA,D3 ect. they come back understanding the sport better then their pervious coaches, and give back and that cycles to athletes readiness to go D1 with clearer understanding of what it takes to be competitive day 1 freshman year.             My post isn't to support one way or the other but to just consider that both sides have merit and that both work when the system in TN. by system I mean coaches are the better educated on preparing athletes for each level they want and should pursue.

    • Hate to hear Ricky is heading to the old folk's home!
    • By recruiting, I mean members of a coaching staff are talking to, meeting with, giving tours, to students, and their guardians, that are not zoned for their school.    there’s no way that many non Bearden kids just showed up all at once without being recruited. It can’t be a coincidence that all those kids also went through the middle school all star game your boss puts on every year. 
    • Not sure how I would put it as recruiting perhaps kids trying to better their career by going to a head coach and coaching staff with connections all over college football that gets them the opportunity to go play college football and be coached by a coach with a pretty good track record.
