Best running back in 3A next year?

[charlesrixey]

Who will be the headliner?

[Txbroadcaster]

The RB from Gilmer Justin Johnson..Already showing up on some national lists

[charlesrixey]

Any others from ET txB?

[wos fan1]

Depauldrick Garrett WOS..Had huge Jr. Season

[charlesrixey]

the only ones i really know about are Allman from LH and Waldrep/McCartney from celina, who are both good enough to start and combined for 40+ touchdowns on the ground and through the air

[charlesrixey]

there are a lot of good ones graduating, too

Whiteside
McNeal
Buse
And the incredible back from LH who put a whoopin on us

All had monster games in the playoffs

[TexanAlum_06]

Buse will be heavily missed at Wimberley. IMO one of the best, if not the best overall Athlete to come through wimberley. and we have had some good ones. But the kid replacing him is no slouch Harley West. dont be surprised to see that name a lot next year. I dont think he will be one of the best backs in the state. but really good! Doesnt Celina return their entire backfield besides Prosser? Allman from LH will have a better season but hes a FB. From what I have heard LH already has over 10 move-ins that are legit FB players. so they will probably find a RB just as good as Bode if not better. LH will be a power for a long time with the amount of growth out there west of austin and a lot of football players from the Leander school district and Georgetown wanting to move out there to be apart of a winning team.

[charlesrixey]

celina does return their entire backfield, prosser was actually a backup qb as well as an all-state performer on defense

the starter, Seth Davis, will be a senior next year

his injuries in the playoffs allowed Prosser the chance to come in and help, which he did tremendously

[gtownpoke]

Justin Johnson from Gilmer was in the USA Today's top 10 players from next years class

rixey, watching warmups at the game, I thought Prosser looked like a much better QB than Davis. Just my first time to see either one, but Prosser's passes were on target and with much less loft than Davis. Was he really not as strong as Davis.

I also thought Davis was lucky twice during the game that his pass was not intercepted because it didn't have much zip on it.

We were very fortunate to have 3 equal QB's. Davis, Prosser, and Lynn can lead equally as well. Davis and Lynn are juniors and will return next year. We needed Prosser to play on defense and that was part of the decision making process. I think the coaches did alright in their judgement. I mean we did get to the final game and got beat in the last 6 seconds.

Back to the original idea; Waldrip/McCartney will be very hard to contain next year as juniors. They were sophomores this year and should dramatically improve next year in overall strength.:thumbsup:

I would say whiteside but he is gone!

I don't know how many, but any that have moved here have yet to live through off-season. :devil: :devil: :devil:

[JR2004]

It's Justin Johnson and then everybody else in 3A as far as tailbacks go.

No

[Fal44]

oh ok...

[big daddy russ]

There's a kid from Van who's actually ranked ahead of Johnson on some recruiting boards. Don't hear much about him on here and I don't know a thing about him other than what I've seen on Rivals and stuff, but he's one to keep an eye on.

[JR2004]

You're talking about the Calhoun kid. Being that he's from Van, his name isn't going to get out a lot on this board because what Van is best at is basketball. He started I believe, or was the 6th man, as a freshman when the Vandals won state in basketball. I saw him that year down in Austin at the state tournament and he is a very gifted athlete. You could tell even then when he was a freshman that the kid was a special athlete. If he played at a school more known for football, let's say WOS, Gilmer or a Cuero, he'd be getting much more attention on here. Like Johnson, he'll be able to go anywhere he wants to.

[bobcat1]

What is his phone number? I would like a shot at talking to him and his parents! :D ;) :p

[charlesrixey]

if he is being mentioned as the top back in texas by rivals, then he is getting some attention

[FormerBellvilleBrahma]

Bellville will have some veteran starters at running back, Byron Abbs 6'0 200 pound last year will be one of the top backs in the district, and Clayton Chaney 6'0 180 pound last year was very good as a 10th grader on varsity, last season he was coming of surgery, so he sould be 100% for the upcoming year. Back-up Garrette Nunn 6'0 205 Jr will also get some playing time.

Thadeus Wilkerson - Needville (1,725 yds and 22tds last year)

[Daddy D 11]

[charlesrixey]

just out of curiousity, does anyone know what Liberty-Eylau has coming back?

LaMichael James

[Matthew328]

Here is my top 5

Jermie Calhoun, Van
Justin Johnson, Gilmer
LaMichael James, Texarkana Liberty-Eylau
DePauldrick Garrett, WOS
Kortlin White, Rockdale

[bandera7]

West from Wimberley will be good, he is very very fast. He was on many of the varsity relays in Wimberley as a freshman and sophomore. I dont know if he will be top 10 in 3a, but I do know that he will be good.

ok..i agree with the first four...but Kortlin White?? he didn't even make first team all-district this year...no way...if you want a wild card...put in Brock Fitzhenry from the quarterback position and he will be the better back with the best numbers....no matter what the haters may say

Well those are his picks and you can have yours. :p

Who does Cuero have coming back?? I don't even know who Sinton will have in the backfield next year. :( :(

That kid from Celina will be a force!!!!

That kid from Celina will be a force!!!! Sinton will have the Harris kid back next year. Thats about all I know. But talkin to a booster unless the HC starts bringin in some better assistants this is gonna be another long year. Last year Sinton started 2-a-days with between 105-110 kids. Ended up with about 74 grades 9-12. Thats quite a large number of kids to quit. Some decided to just play baseball, others were just flat lazy but most just didn't like the coaches. I know some people on here won't like my opinion but but it's also others opinion. Attitudes of coaches and players need to change or its gonna be another long year.

[RdaleBoi08]

Ok You Know What buff4life, if i carried that much as brock did then yea,but not makin 1rst doesnt mean nanything

[Matthew328]

Firzhenry is a great QB..not a RB and I don't think he'll be a RB in college either...he seems more of a DB type to me...

Keep an eye on White..there is a reason big time schools are looking at him...he'll have a big senior season proto-type RB...no one knows much about him because he plays for Rockdale and they don't have much talent across the board...check out his rivals profile...

Matt...I'm telling you....keep a real eye on Thadeus Wilkerson. I may be a little biased but he's the best I've coached in 10 years. 5'11, 209lbs and an absolute beast to bring down. Ask anybody that played against him. Should shatter the school record for all-time rushing next year (if he stays healthy).

well in most people's book it means that the best running backs in the district get 1ST TEAM...but i guess that is some wild idea too...and yea brock does get a lot of carries, but last year the guy from Rusk had almost 100 more carries than him but brock had just as many yards...its not the carries, its the talent...sorry...enjoy mediocrity

Look, you dont know me and i dont know you so do us all a favor and don't make presumptions about people's intelligence level in a personal way because more than likely i am much smarter than you.

okay???

thanks

Now, for those "weaker brained humans" I'm going to explain myself. I didnt say they went 10-0, I said I THINK they went 10-0 but I wasn't sure because I am not that worried about Needville's jv team.
I also didn't say they went 10-0 in district play. I simply said I thought they went 10-0 in our district. That is two different things, buddy.

I also think our jv had two losses but I wasn't sure who they lost to so that is why I threw that in there. (Any numb-nut with a brain {including you} can figure out that a team went undefeated if they did not lose.)

Now that I have completely explained my comments would you like to further criticize my posts? If so I can play this game all day.;)

IMO running back means rushing yards....he won't be considered that on paper but on people minds...

if you want an interesting fact...the two leading rushers in 3A this year were quarterbacks

Anyway, Darren Grice and John Holmes are good backs. Not Top 5, but still very relaible runners

Is Darren related to Marvin Grice from Angleton, he drowned when He and I were sophmores (summer between 9th and 10th i believe), was a great athlete.

As far as backs go, I believe Allman should have a big year.

[g$$]

I still say anyone named "John Holmes" better be good! Lots to live up to as well off the field...

Lots of Grice's in that area LHP. Van Vleck had a bunch of them for years. WC has had some too. Angleton as you said. Funny thing, I don't remember one from Sweeny in my 30+ years, but maybe I have forgotten someone.

[CHSWR07]

Curtis Kevil from clyde he played on two severly sprained ankles last year and posted crazy numbers especially for him being hurt as bad as he was he'll be back and better than ever next year especially if he's healthy the big key will not be his health because he will put the numbers up no matter what the key will be the bulldogs line they graduated their whole line and will most likely be replaced by some BIG talented sophmores and a couple jrs.

[buffalo2006]

Brock is a good player but he is no quarterback. After the LH game it may have opened up some options for the Giddings team with Locke at quarterback and Brock and the amazing Alan Dock at the wing position. Hoping that they play Dock the entire season this year, despite only playing him half the season at running back last year.

His dad, also named Darren, is an '87 grad and was a good player as well. He took over at RB when Wayne sprained his ankle before the '86 playoffs...
