NOW,have we convinced you that Austin has BLINDING SPEED?

 

Probably not because it is BLINDING. He will never see the forest thru the trees.

 

Nice try though.

Way to go Austin!!

Congrats to you and your whole family!!

Keep your head on straight and continue to be a leader in your awesome senior class.

 

Best of luck to your continued success on the gridiron...

Question...

 

I looked at http://www.highlandsrecruits.com and noticed that it had Brandon Roller listed as the 2008 district player of the year... is this definitely the case? I would have thought that the district player of the year would go to a senior.

I'm not trying to start anything but why do most people in here think that the player of the yeah and Mr. Football should go to a senior? THe Heisman can go to the BEST player no matter the age or year of college. If Brandon did win that good for him this should build his resume better for college. Again I'm not starting anything just asking that's all?

Congrats to Austin.....Any word on schools that are looking at him??? Florida?

 

When Rob Smith played, did he receive any state or national awards as a junior?

Brandon did recieve the award at halftime of the state game.

In my opinion,Brandon missed getting a lot more awards by being injured in the Ashland game. You will see that Austin and Brandon will have a huge impact on the field this year as both of them will be seniors. Having Will Bardo at QB ,I would think the birds will have a lot of college scouts watching and fighting over all three of them.They are big time players,on a big time stage!

No. Unless you're talking about 4.3 or better that ain't 'blinding speed' these days, sorry. Maybe your definition is different.

I'm not saying he isn't a good football player, he obviously is.

When you talk about Mr. Football, the stats are going to really have to show it. It's the system more than anythnig else. It will be extremely difficult for any wide receiver will ever get it, unless he returns multiple kickoffs and punts for TDs, has numerous interceptions and is Deon Sanders like.

He won't be able to pile up the stats to compete with the top backs and QBs, and offensive lineman can't either. You can't tell me there hasn't been a lineman who wasn't the best football player in the state since they've had the award.

Austin has been running back kickoffs and punts for TD's for two years now.As previously posted by familly tradition,teams avoid throwing the ball his way because he is so good.(you might say Deon Sanders like!) I think Austin had six pick offs as a sophomore.(yes,his sophomore year!)In my opinion,Mr. Football will come out of Northern Ky. By the time the award comes around,there may be a few surprize nominations also.

Ironic name.

 

Note: I am not commenting on anything other than the name.

You are so bad!

You are so bad!

 

I'm just sayin'.

Congrats to the young man.

 

I have to say however, it kinda stinks that the Maxpreps.com's write up on Mr. Collinsworth leads off with the following:

 

"Son of former Bengals’ wide receiver Cris Collinsworth, Austin was a first team All-State selection at wide receiver a year after being a second team All-State selection at defensive back."

 

Certainly being the son of Chris Collinsworth doesn't hurt his status.

How many players from Highlands have been All Americans? I am pretty sure Rob Smith and Jared Lorenzen were, who else?

 

Chuck Kyle, Class of 1965 was an All American tackle.

 

Congratulations to Austin. You earned it!::thumb:
