pegasus and gimme3 it's true i haven't seen him play but who really needs to i've heard all i need to hear on here. bout him running all over every team he's faced. 700 sumthing yards in what 3 games. that's impressive to say the least. lets give credit where credit is due. he has defenitly earned in MY OPINION the title of best running back in tennessee so far this year. that could change but as of right now i'm gonna have to say he has the advantage.

anybody that hasn't watched bradley james from mo-west run in the last 2yrs is sure missing a great back in action!! if only coach woods would let him run instead of rotateing backs in every 2 plays,i would bet my house that james would get 1200-1300 yrds this season, i still say he will probably finish with about a 1000. and i would say that ewing will probably be close to that, i hope to see james at the next level, hopefully around the area somewhere, like tusculm or carson-newman. good luck trojans!!!!!!! thumb

How could you say Caldwell isn't the best back in East Tn? Or be a contender.. Name someone who is better than him... You've seen him play and what did you think? Your 1-a safety couldn't catch him WITH an angle on him. Give the kid respect. 3 games for 755 yards is pretty amazing. Ooltewah hasn't played a bad team yet either. He isn't the best running back in the southeast but he is one of the best in the state...

How much running is this kid doing on his own? How many plays has he made by himself? Because obviosly there are some talented linemen that this kid has room to run behind.....Any decent back that has a line as good as they do would also probly have that many yards.....And I've never seen him play so thats why I'm asking if he makes plays on his own.....

He has a young line. NO SENIORS. Which is a good thing in the future. Ooltewah runs an I offense so the offense is mainly based around the tailback(Caldwell). He does have a good line but he helps them out a lot becaue of his speed. I have never in my life seen a running back hit a hole like him. He is only a Jr. and this is the 1st year he has played on a varsity team. Future looks great for him.

If Caldwell is all that good how did they do in the playoffs last year. He is probably an outstanding running back, but what you do after regular season is how I measure things. Great running backs get there team deep in the playoffs.

 

As far as McFadden at Catholic, he might be a decent small league back, but would he start for most teams. He can't be compared to best backs until he competes in a real league. He did lead them to the championship last year though. There is a difference in leagues though.

    • We could sure use some math teachers country wide. Ever go into a store or restaurant and the bill comes to $9.97 and you give them a ten dollar bill and 2 pennies because you wanted a nickle back and then the meltdown starts and the next thing two more people have to come and help figure it out and the place comes to a complete halt. I see this everyday and it's a sad representation of all these schools allowing these kids out the door to get shortchanged the rest of their life. 
    • I like the Pirates chances. I’ll be there as soon as work allows.
    • Stars, I heard we were searching far and wide for some math teachers. Any chance their kids bench press or 40 times are getting checked? LOL I’ve heard good things from 825.  
    • I think it was expected. “Bad” luck I guess to get a couple difference maker QBs in the same class. I thought the decision was made a little early myself, but they were struggling offensively last year.  I assume the running quarterback alco had last year would be a senior this fall, and the transfer would start the following two years in addition to getting a ton of playing time this year. Maybe he waits two yrs, but I doubt it. The kid is good. So is the one who stayed.
    • I'm from Cloudland and we've never played a sectional game.  We need to win tomorrow night to avoid that bus ride.  Us and north greene can play with you guys so I'm expecting good games whoever the matchup is.
