I live in Memphis and I am a Whitehaven High Alum. I make it a point to see other teams play as well as Whitehaven. I get to see Germantown and Collierville play when they play WHS. I make it a point to go the the Bridges Kickoff Classic every year, so I get to see Briarcrest, CBHS, and MUS at that time ... as well as Memphis East twice a year. (Bridges & vs. Melrose) I'm not an authority on all of the High school players in the area ... but I've seen quite a few over the years. The best LB corps I saw last year, and I saw some dandy's, were the Melrose, Germantown, and CBHS backers. I only saw the CBHS backer's play once and that was in last years Bridges game against Melrose ... and Melrose had a potent offensive backfield last year, and the CBHS backers all had a good game. I saw Germantowns corps twice last year ... and they were a very talented solid group as well. I followed Melrose as I do every year ... and I absolutely loved their LB corps. Those guys were underclassmen and are coming back. As a group ... they had speed speed speed and swarmed the ball. Their middle LB wore #52 and the fans in the stands chanted "Ray Lewis" every time he made a play .... and he made plenty. According to the 2003 Bridges Bowl Classic team roster sheet passed out in last years game ... his name is Michael Carter, 6'-2", 250 lbs. I must admit ... before I heard them chanting his name, with all the accolades his fellow teammates were garnering throughout the year, and the number of seniors who were wooed by D1 schools last year ... I always found myself watching him play. Just something about the way he approached the game. Never missed a tackle that I can remember, and never blew an assignment. The opposing teams running game went through him ... and he always did his job. If I could create a high school team using the local talent ... he'd be my starting middle LB, no question.

 

Just my $0.02 worth.

    • Looks like South Pittsburg added some more talent!  
    • So much talk about an investigation about student record manipulation and then everything has went silent. Has anyone heard how the investigation is going?
    • Basically what you're saying is schools can basically bully students around and get away with it because they are protected. I agree to a certain extent but when schools decisions to keep knuckleheads on staff starts costing kids careers and a college education there is a problem. Our school system last week had a teacher supposedly push a kid and the parents went to the law and the teacher is suspended. So I wouldn't say that they can just do what they want without liability. This case don't pass the smell test because the coach had already been fired before and she got fired after a year on the job. Sounds like the student was right in this case on the outside looking in because the coach gets fired after one year. How many coaches get fired after one year?? Not many. 
    • Problem with DB football goes beyond coaching. Like Waco said. Thr band is the main focus of their community and school. They have the resources to be a championship level team. Guarantee Ballard or Witten could have them nationally relevant at some point but everyone down to peewee would have to buy in and at DB we all know that would never happen.
