You decide: Kentucky Mr. Football

the players are better looking, but the pageant gives away more free stuff

 

My God that's beautiful.

 

That's impresive, but he had a whopping ONE, count it ONE in the state championship game in a 49-7 ass kicking. Mt Football my ass.

Aaron Boyd was the best player in the state this season.

And Cole set state receiving records, as well.

 

But that swarming defense of Lexington Catholic caused him problems all damn day! [LexCath hater]

But honestly, Bob, LexCath was the better team far and away. Lone Oak just played one of the worst schedules in the state.

 

He's a system QB, according to my people who have seen him play. A step or two slow and on the small side, supposedly. Fugate's apparently in the same mold. Farris got shut down by Louisville Trinity in the playoffs (63 yards).

Best choice is probably DL Moore (South Carolina-bound), say my peeps, but the Lone Oak QB's flashy stats will get him the award.

 

And the fact that he was in Sports Illustrated.

 

That also goes back to flashy stats.

The thinking is that he'll end up at Murray State, UT-Martin ... someplace like that. No Division 1-A offers yet.

 

90 TD passes in how many games?
Whatever it is, that's insane.

 

Like I said, system QB.

Lone Oak is one of those high schools that paid a fee to Tony Franklin, the newly-installed offensive coordinator at Auburn, who has made a nice living in the past as an "offensive consultant" for various high schools around the country (especially in Kentucky). If you look on his web site's front page, it says so right there: "System QB Breaks National TD Record."

I got to see this offensive several times when I was in Kentucky. It kept getting shut down once its practitioners got into the playoffs.

 

Spnited, it was in 15 games. Lone Oak went 14-0 before losing to Lexington Catholic in the state title game.

And 2mcm, I used to cover a high school (Franklin County) that had Franklin's offense implemented.

That offense wasn't shut down in the playoff game against LexCath in 2006 and it wasn't shut down in the regular-season meeting between the teams the year before. The playoff game went to overtime after Franklin County led 32-7 at halftime.

 

It does seem to struggle on the carpet, though. And ... who beat?

 

90 Tds and only 4 ints? wow. and his completion percentage looked nice too. oh, and it shouldn't be about where you are headed to college. it should be who had the best season.
