Landon will be a solid athlete if he can stay healthy. I wouldn't be surprised if he never plays football. May not be worth the risk for him.

 

Everything I hear says he's ALL IN!

Why is he sitting out football this year?

Yes...shoulder injury.

Top 20 nationally ranked track athlete that transferred this season to BCMS from Mercer Co. He is an 8th grader. He's 6'2" already and can dunk a 10' goal easily. He will probably be a WR at BCHS and will run past people like they are standing still.

 

He has to sit out this football season but can play basketball this winter.

 

The rich get richer.

 

Well. Where the heck have I been?

 

A talented kid like himself with thrive in the Boyle County system.

Yes...shoulder injury.

 

Why did he miss most of last season? Why did he miss all of 7th grade?

Why is he sitting out football this year?

 

I haven't heard anything official. Word is that he'll be playing basketball this winter and will be playing football as a freshman.

 

I think everyone knows he is bigger, faster and stronger than what he was last season. A year from now he'll be physically and mentally ready. If not, Boyle County is still extremely happy to have Landon as a Rebel.

All I know is that he got hurt last year and I believe had shoulder surgery.

He did not have shoulder surgery. The point I'm trying to make is that he obviously excels in track and will continue to do so. If he gets hurt playing football and can't do either one then maybe he doesn't play football. That's all I'm trying to point out.

He hasn't played a full football season since 6th grade. He was in 8th grade last year at Mercer so he is in 8th grade again at Boyle this year? I thought new rules say that if you repeat a grade in middle school that you have to sit out a year of middle school athletics? In other words you have to sit out your hold back year.

From what I understand...it's only a sport you have played. He might be eligible for basketball because of his shoulder injury last year he did not play basketball for Mercer.

 

I also have heard that is a conference rule. The KHSAA isn't enforcing the "hold back" rule this year.

 

I've been told Landon will play football next year at BCHS. My guess is WR.

This is how I understand it as well.

Oh ok. Mercer has had a rule in place for several years that if you repeat a grade in middle school you automatically sit out of all athletics during the hold back year. It makes sense that if an athlete is having such major issues with school or whatever it may be that they need to be held back that they should probable concentrate on academics for that year they are repeating. That's why when the KHSAA came out with the new rule it wasn't a huge deal because we already had it in place. I hope he gets to play. He hasn't played in sports in a while.

I did a scouting report during the Anderson game for an upcoming game. BC has a running back Smith that is a stud. The other kid they have Kelly is a dominant big kid at nose and OL . Those 2 are special, but talent all over field, just not much size.

Some of these kids may not have huge size, but they are not small either. When they move on to Boyle Co. High, they will be a part of an excellent weight program. You probably won't recognize these same kids in a couple of years after hitting that BCHS weight room. Remember these are middle school kids that are playing in 2 and sometimes 3 sports. You won't gain much weight in that type of situation.
