Have you watched the same somerset/MC scrimmages I have??

Mercer beat Danville 3-2. Witten and Robertson started.

Wow, thats a very nice start.

I wouldnt trade my truck or my 4-wheeler for it. I am in on this deal too BuffaloGap.

I fully agree with your post.

I also remember hearing about a few of the clean numbers and was impressed also. Do you remember any of the kids numbers exactly?

I can also assure you that the Strength Coach knows what hes doing. A few years ago before Jaggers got there, the weight program was horrible. No attendence required, kids werent shown the proper techniques and only 2-3 kids were dedicated to lifting on the whole team. Todd Davis wasnt in charge of the program back then, but if he was, things would have been much different.

Neither one have the grades. Academics 1st, Athletics 2nd, some young men dont understand this concept.

Gators 83 UK 71

Did they receive full scholarship offers?

You think UT is limited with Talent? Im not trying sound rude, I just think they are pretty talented myself. Those big men (Chism, Crews) are athletic, they just went up against a better big man today in Oden. Jajuan Smith and Ramar smith are slashers that can score and Chris Lofton is the best shooter in the nation. I watched them play teams like Memphis and Texas earlier in the year and it doesnt get much more athletic than those two teams.

College - Duke, Michigan, Ohio St., Kansas Pro - Pittsburgh Steelers, New York Yankees, Jeff Gordon, Kurt/Kyle Busch, Tony Stewart

Congrats to Kasey, thats a great award.

Brad Cloud would fit nicely in that blank DB spot.

Donald Walker - Mercer Co. Donald was the feature back for Mercer before the merge. Hurt a hamstring in track during the spring and re-injured it right before the season, then had a high ankle sprain, horrible luck. Hes 5'10" 190 with power and speed, whoever gets him will be getting a huge steal.

I also thought Edwards and Arnold could have gotten some consideration in the HM department for DB but every other person that made it is also very deserving.

These two were solid high school players but I dont think that they belong on that list.

So you think the AP poll is the most accurate?

Year in and year out, the AP team is not an accurate representation of what should be the real All-state team. Like posters have already said, the CJ Coaches team is the real one and the BGP also does a very nice job every year.

Why did they put these new rules into place? Any reason for it?

I fully agree with your first statement and obviously the kid can play. I was just telling oldonetechnique my views on his perception of an athletes weight gain possibilites.

Im going with Chuck Smith on this one. Took a school that was a nobody, to being almost simply unbeatable. And since he left, the teams havent been the same.

Yeah 30 lbs is attainable if a kid has never worked out before. If hes a pretty good kid in the weight room already, yes he can gain weight and get stronger once he gets to college, but be realistic. If a kid was to gain 30 lbs, chances are that isnt going to be ALL muscle either.

30 lbs of muscle? Some of you folks kill me. Do you realize how much that is?
