Maybe not top 5, but top 10, Colin Justice from Dixie. If 100% healthy, he'll be the work horse for Dixie. He had a slow start last year, but someone finally lit a fire under him.

If Beechwood's Mitchell Thomas gets the reps he will be in consideration in his Junior year but more likely as a Senior. He has "homerun" potential on every snap. Not sure on his exact stats but it seems like his Yards Per Carry was between 15 and 20 as a Sophomore. Another blazer to compliment Nussbaum.....if Nussbaum plays in the backfield and I see no reason why he won't. Throw in another blazer, Gage Erdman, if he returns healthy, and now you have a triple threat without mentioning who might be under center.

 

Did Erdman get hurt? :idunno: If so I must have missed it. I think I remember hearing something but don't remember any details. I hope he is okay and will be healthy for his senior season.

Gage went down with a knee early on in the Elizabethtown game. He was out until the playoffs. He should return healthy and I am hoping there are no lingering effects from the knee injury. It will be interesting to see if he runs track this spring where there will also be plenty of speed as well with Nussbaum and Vocke in the fold.

Stringer will probably get carries for SK also.

Come on...No Zach Harris from Highlands? He only started as a sophmore and scored 3tds in the state game..Yeah 2 kids from the neers that's about right..

 

When was the last time Highlands had someone rush for over 1000 yards?

Tanner Pulice from Ryle and Dylan Plavan from Ryle are both going to be strong this year. After Elliot went down last year Pulice stepped up and did a great job.

 

 

I thought Playan was a Lineman? Ryle does have Ryan Hill though he was pretty good last year.

Austin Collinsworth in 2009.

Good to hear. Hope he is back and 100% healthy.

I wouldn't be surprised to see two 1,000 yard rushers for Highlands in 2012.

Of course it depends on the run/pass ratio ,but I think HHS has three backs that are capable. Hayes , Siedel and Harris have enough talent to get it done.

I think you can throw McCoy into the mix. Highlands could have a 2000 yard passer and two 1000 running backs.

I think that this is more of what you are looking at. Possibly a 2000 yard passer, one 1,000 yard rusher and 3 other guys over 650 yards rushing.

I think the FROG could have a 1,000 yds for the Birds also. Harris and Siedel are two very good backs..Harris is more of a power back and Siedel a scat back. They will compliment each other very well..

I think that they all could if they were the focus of the offense. I just feel that Dale has shown that he wants to spread the wealth, unless a kid is sitting on DI offers like Collinsworth was, plus he was a very special athlete.

Frogs all purpose yards could be off the chart ! WOW !

 

My spy says Hayes is the real deal . Just his opinion from observation.
