Alex Matthews, quarterback from Shelby County, has to be considered one of the front runners to win Mr. Football this year.

 

Stats through seven games:

Alex has completed 170/285 (59%) for 2452 yards (350 yards per game) and 27 TD's with only 4 INT's. Those are great numbers for anyone, but to do it week in and week out vs. the competition Shelby County has been playing is amazing.

 

Shelby has played Scott County, Eastern and Manual over the last four weeks, who are all ranked in the top ten in 6A and has had his best games against them. He threw for 432 yards and 5 TD's vs. Scott County, 558 yards and 7 TD's vs. Manual and 455 yards and 6 TD's vs. Eastern.

 

He does a tremendous job of spreading the ball around to his receivers as well. Jordan Burk has 37 receptions for 869 yards and five TD's (124 yards per game), Kyle Marston has 39 receptions for 557 and 6 TD's, Coty Minnis has 34 receptions for 425 yards and 11 TD's and O'Theius Beach has 41 receptions for 404 yards and 3 TD's.

 

Alex is being recruited by several division I schools and is a super kid.

 

Any scholarship offers??

my finalist are E.J. Fields, Corey Robinson, John Cole, Aaron boyd, and Corey Farris.

Please don't over look robinson just because he lives in Western Kentucky. No other QB in the state has numbers even close to him.

I think it says a lot for the game of football in the State of Kentucky that 16 of the 21 and 5 of the last 5 have stayed in State to play out their college careers.

That's what Im saying, somebody said above that maybe Fields just won the race, because he committed to Kentucky. And I was asking, just because you committ to Kentucky why would you win?

 

My Top 3 Candidates

Boyd

Fields

Farris

 

How can you have Boyd and not Cole?
