Unfortunately, I believe there's no criteria to win this award. I know they may say it goes to the best player that performs well on the field, as well as be a great person off the field. I'm sure all the players that were mentioned previous are great people as well, so that does cancel out. Just because so and so from school A is a great kid, doesn't mean so and so from school B is not.

When it comes to the "award" and I will still go by who the best player is, that'll be Kumaro Brown. The only problem for Kumaro is that he may have missed a game already (don't have his official stats) and he may not have the carries as well. Honestly, it is all about usage rate. Lake County may need Mullins to run for 400+ yards so they can win a game. MASE doesn't really need Brown have to get Brown close to 400 yards, not in August-October at least. 

It's similar to Mr./Mrs. Basketball

Player A may need to get 30-35 points per game so his/her team can win.

Player B has the luxury to not have to worry about getting 30-35 points, but is still an overall better player than player A. Just doesn't have to get the stats to prove.

True patna. Perfect example of dat is Raquis Hale of South Pitt in 2010.

If that’s the case Cameron Whitaker should have won it in 2018. Cornersville was up 40+ at the half every game and never saw the field after halftime. He got runner up.

Calvin Mullins Lake Co! 1337 yds in 5 games and 3 quality opponents Central Dyersburg Dresden. Kid rode a bike 8 miles one way to sack groceries to help out his family. True underdog story! Past two games 335 against SF and 421 against Halls. 68 can get you official stats but the kids a gladiator 

I understand that, and I wish him and the Falcons the best throughout the remainder of the year. However, is that a good thing? What did he do against Dyersburg, Dresden, and Obion Central? I'm not going to say he is "stat padding" because Lake County was in a dogfight against South Fulton. With that being said, if he rushes for 350+ yards against Humboldt, then I'll be worried if I'm a Lake County fan.

Central 165

Dyersburg 168

Dresden 265

And I totally get what you’re saying but watch him play. Watch and you’ll be a believer. I’m a homer but realist kids one of the best players in the state

Now what do you say?  Still Ben over Dawson?

Dawson will or should win it no doubt. Ben still had a good game 9-10 yards a carry, but when a you got a QB that can run it the way he does and throw it too that’s tough.
 

He is a special player enjoy it, because those are a dime in a dozen or maybe more!

    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
