Also, from host Al Mayo:

 

Sorry I'm a bit tardy getting back to you guys but, I'm here now.

 

First of all, this award applies only to VARSITY players.

 

Whenever you place a name for nomination, I need the following to be listed.

 

Player name, position, class (Soph, jr, sr. etc).

 

Stats for the week's performance. Carries, yards gained pass att/comp...tackles etc.

 

Please do not estimate stats. Just telling me a player may have run for 150 yards, won't make the cut.

 

Ideally a listing would look like this---

 

"Bob Smith a 5'1" Tailback from Smithville High School gained 100 yards on 10 carries. He also caught 4 passes for 30 yards in a 14-0 win over Jones High School"

 

OR

 

Bob Smith, a 5'1" QB from Smithville High School completed 15 of 20 passes for 100 yards, and 1 TD as the Smiths beat Jonesville 14-0.

 

Otherwise, post as many players as you like if you think they merit a mention. ALL Players listed will be used on the show as nominees, so their stats and performace will be included. A Ploayer Of The Week will be chosen from the weekly nominees.

 

Thanks in advance for the help, and have a GREAT season!

Let's get those nominees in gang!

C'mon people, who had a good game?

[westsider]

Corey Robinson, the QB at Lone Oak ... 18 for 24 for 315 yards and six TDs, all in the first half, of a 69-18 win over Todd Central. Robinson has 31 TDs and only four interceptions in five games.

[EKUAlum05]

Dustin May FB, Belfry

May ran for 203 yards on 18 carries and 3 rushing TD's against Pikeville, he also added a receiving TD and a sack on defense all in only 3 Quarters of action in belfry's 49-7 shelling of county rival Pikeville.

[The Scribe]

Pulaski County quarterback Chris Muse threw for 319 yards and two touchdowns (18/24 passing) and ran for 186 yards on 18 carries and a touchdown. Pulaski beat North Laurel 32-8.

 

Frankfort's E.J. Fields rushed 11 times for 186 yards and a score and threw for 98 yards and a touchdown against Casey County

[HazzBeen]

Charlie Banks 6'3" 185lb QB of Letcher Central had another good week. Was 16-25 for 212 yards passing. he also rushed 9 times for 117. He had three ruching TD's and two passing TD's as Letcher goes to 5-1 in only their 3rd season on the gridiron. One of the few qb's that plays on both sides of the ball. He plays def.back as well.

[DMZ76]

HOW ABOUT SOME LINEMEN LOVE ? I wish there were some quantifiable numbers for offensive linemen... but Highlands 3 yr. starter Sr. Alex Hempfling continues to blow massive holes open the HHS RB's. I guess their #'s prove his value.

[True blue (and gold)]

Here's the performance of a kid that plays on boths sides of the ball. Trimble Co's Justin Hawkes (QB/LB), in the Raiders (36-23) win against Carroll Co, scored 3 TDs rushing (95 rushing yards off of 9 carries), caught an interception, was 8-14 for 131 yds AND made 13 tackles, including 3 sacks.

[Hearsay]

That's a good post, I second this guy's nomination.

I'm trying to figure out a way to recognize O lines or individual linemen, but I want to be fair. I wish we had a reliable stat to judge them on. I'm open to any, and all suggestions!

My only though would eb to figure out the way that NCAA teams grade out their lineman (Sacks allowed, pancake blocks, etc) but tho0se stats are rarely kept on the HS level

[The Scribe]

Alex Matthews of Shelby County threw for 555 yards against Manual. 5 TDs.

[DMZ76]

...for every QB/RB/WR that gets nominated, a lineman from that team should be nominated also. Then have a separate award for the "Hog of the Week" (get the Ky Pork Council to sponsor it!!)

[campbellfield]

Corbins Ryan Fritts, sophomore, rushed 27 times for 249 yards and four touchdowns in Corbin's 47- 21 win over LCA.

 

"I'm excited," Fritts said. "The line did a great job blocking for me."
