It is hard to quantify "best", impossible really, his combination of speed , leaping ability, and the main thing size (6'3") puts him at the top for me. Plus he is in the 10th grade. There are some stud athletes in this game and the conference as a whole.

Yes that "blaming the refs" could be avoided if they wouldn't try to control the game. Their job is to call the game unbiased and fair! Not try to keep the score down. As soon as WM starts pulling away those Holding calls start! Now I've seen games this season where the Refs have done an outstanding job in the sense that you wouldn't even know they were there! Like Fanatic said a Pancake block is not Holding and the ground can't cause a fumble in the end zone or anywhere else!
I will say one thing, everybody keeps bringing up EM's QB's and their great pass game but did anybody notice Dozier last Friday night? That guy was ON! I know it was against SD but he threw some very impressive passes! Not to mention he has one more year at WM! He has improved and gained experience and emerged as a true leader!
Yes, was a rebounding machine , I expect him to be improved offensively. 6'3" athletic kids are plentiful in basketball, football not so much.
Isn't McKinney the small tailback? If he is, then he's one of the weapons I was referring to. If not, then it's that little guy...He gets low and has the moves--and certainly the speed. What I was wondering was why East didn't keep sending him up the middle or between the right guard and tackle--he was slicing through them most of the second half, but they tended to get away from him. West has the speed to maintain him, and has the tenacity to "attack" the offensive line. NM's defense appeared to have the goal of "holding" the line until linebackers could get into the mix. If west shuts him down, which I'm sure is their number one goal, then there is little else East can bring to bear that will match West's offensive output...and their sheer numbers. East doesn't field many bodies on game night.

McKinney is #24 , the little guy is Flowers # 21 ( also a solid athlete)
I know J. Dozier can throw it as well, but what is odd is that his completion rate is only 50%, is it because of drops or high risk / high reward passes. Any WM posters have an opinion?
It's varied throughout the year based upon what the game plan is. There have been some games where we've had drops in the short passing game. Trying to make a move before securing the catch kind of stuff. There's been other games where we have gone deep exclusively and he lays it out there where our guys get it or no one does. He does a great job of protecting the ball.
Lest not forget the kid has a rifle for an arm. Seen him throw it right through their hands.
A lot of his bad passing numbers are due to dropped passes because of that. He sure did throw some nice rainbows against SD last Friday though! I was impressed!
Amended realignment numbers are out.... em dropped 20 students, will remain 1A. Guess the waiver wire just heated up or the Anchor School just got a sudden influx of students!!!!!!! How do you "drop" 20 students from attendance??? LOL...oh well.... No chance of a dry field come Friday night. Looks like it's going to be a sloppy in the trenches game. We ALL know who that'll favor.
If you haven't read the Montgomery Herald today you should! There is some great stuff about our teams! Jon Galloway has put together some good history and some good comparison's of each team! I don't know if he posts on here or reads all of our blabbing but if he does then "Good Job Jon"!!!
WM and em had submitted data that was wrong from the get go. Losing that number was flagged. They recounted and the current numbers are accurate. Person/persons responsible made a clerical error. Losing that many students is highly unheard of. Looking forward to a good game.

wisbone101, the bull puppies got waxed by union academy by 27. what makes them the GREAT BULL PUPPIES? EM has worked hard and it shows. i know alot of these kids from east. Great kids and parents. I also know many of the kids at west. One just so happens to be a nephew of mine. I can assure you West is not over confident. Good coaching will not allow things like that to happen. Great parents of these players and they have put their heart and soul into these kids. They are not over confident, they just know how to win. I do not know what your football knowledge is, but I will mark your word on west losing by three scores because that is just your opinion. East is a much improved team, but i think you got your wires crossed somewhere. West is the team that will win by three or four scores. Love the kids from both schools. I think what your real problem is that EM and WM both spanked your comets pretty good!
That was a great read Buzzard. Sounds like WM plans to line up and bring it straight down main street. Sounds like that is what EM is expecting too. Mano y mano, lets get it on!
Get the drums ready!

Wow. 1-9 Avery v/s 9-1 Mitchell and 4-5 Gates County v/s 7-2 Plymouth both made game of the week and 10-0 WM v/s 9-1 EM didn't. I guess some folks aren't expecting this fierce rivalry to be much of a game...lol 
I've been trying to vote for the game of the week on WFMY2's website but it's not pulling up for me. Can one of you yahoos post the link please. Yeah Griddie, I hear that sound too..... Hopefully the chickens will make it through the next two days with the same cocky attitudes that they are displaying around town. Saw several of the em players in Troy last evening and they really showed some class................
I guess you can strike "never said anything negative about players" from your sterling post record.
Strike it, mark it, do whatever you want. Seeing the players in Troy sporting the letter jackets in McDonald's was showing their true colors. Biscoe has a McDonald's. Stay on that side of the river. It was done to send a message and it was received.
You are talking about kids. If they did something wrong, you should give someone details and report it, Im sure Coach Hammer will handle it if warranted . Im sure they were trying to send YOU a message. How many tackles are you going to make tomorrow night?
I bought mine today and the lady told me 900 or so ( 2:30 pm)
Ha Ha!! I won't be making any tackles but I will be pulling for a running clock. I wonder how many em fans are included in that or is that just ticket sales from east? I hope they keep the two fan bases on their respective sides. Too many knuckleheads on both sides of the river and lots of bad feelings.
