Good luck to Mullins.

I think most folks that get to cast their 3 candidates will have D. White & K. Brown on their list.  That only leaves 1 remaining. 

Regardless of the 3 on folks list and the 5 semifinalists,  I wish all the student athletes the best. 

I wouldn’t swap SP’s #7 or #8 for any player in the state. SP spreads the ball around so much the gaudy stats want be there.  I promise you when it gets crunch time these two are going to open some eyes.

I love me some #7  &  #8 too T69.  You know that's true.  :thumb:

I don't actually know.Im sure kids on S.Pitt,Moire Co,etc deserve it as well.Just saying.If LC was to have played Perry Co ,Bruceton instead of Central and Dyersburg,he'd probably have 3000 yards now instead of about 2000.But he also had 265 yards against Dresden.Think 165 against Dyersburg in which many think is best defense in West Tenn.Tough matchups against JCS and Union City coming up..They strong anyway and basically Mullins has a bullseye on him.Should do pretty well what he wants against Greenfield.But earn his yards against other 2 teams.But I'm sure others are great nominations as well so just don't think a kid from a  team that's going to finish 5- 5 will win.But those 5 teams are Central,Dyersburg,Dresden,Probably JCS,Union City.So in all honesty.How many teams in Single A would beat those teams?

Mullins is with out a doubt the best RB that Dyersburg has seen. The only one with even close to 100 yards.

Possibly the most impressive part about Mullins is that for a long period of time rode his bicycle from Ridgely to tiptonville (8 miles one way) to help his family make ends meet. And begged to work every possible hour he could. Kids don’t do that anymore.

If Ben Franklin don’t win Mr. football they need to quit doing the award. There isn’t 1 other kid in Single A you would pick to start your team with. 
 

I’ve been going to games a long time, the closet thing to him I remember is Marco Dailey.

If you have the best player in 1A and are currently 5-3 someone should be fired. If he’s that good you don’t get shutout by Collinwood. 
 

Eddie Moore didn’t win it for South Pittsburg back in the 90’s. Raquis Hale didn’t win it in 2010 and he was the best player in 1A. Robert Robinson didn’t win it in 2007 and he too was the best 1A player.

He has had 1 bad game.
 

He is averaging 14 yards a carry on the year. 14!!  I don’t think anybody should be fired when they have a kid with 1800 yards on the year. Somebody is doing something right.

Well he's either not carrying it enough or he's not getting those #s against the better teams. I've seen him and he is impressive but he's not the lone ranger. A few years back my son and the QB on our team averaged around 18 ypc all season, got shut down in the 4th round against a Great Marion Co defense. Neither was a Mr Football candidate, its not as much what you do as who you have voting for you.

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • 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.
