3A top Running Back (players to watch)

Port Isabel High School
Senior RB
DIEGO GARCIA

[LH Panther Mom]

2008 will be the typical "race for 2000 yards" in Liberty Hill. I have a pretty good idea on "who", but as usual, ALL positions here are up for grabs at this point.

Yeap I imagine so!

In PI this season, it should be back to it's trademark of having a good backfield with depth. Diego should be the go to guy, but as the season starts, we'll see who will be the other two/three guys and also who will actually get the first touchs of each game. Others that IMO will make a contribution are; Rollie Alaniz, Joe Vega, Jude Green & Medrano.

I hear some kid named Brandon Terry is going to get some looks at fullback..

Whether this kid gets 2,000 yards or not at LHHS, I'll give you one of the great "names" of the season out of a high school backfield:

Liberty Hill's Jimmy Johnson

That's enough to make you a NASCAR fan right there!

Garrett Nunn- Bellville
Last season he rushed for 1,520 yds. Dave Campbell's has him listed as a "money player". (5'10'', 220, 4.5)

Snyder and Vernon usually come up with a decent running back or two.

Easy.....the best RB in the state(any classification), except for maybe Christian Michael, Madisonville's Chris Whaley.

Not trying to be a homer, but comparing dp and cw side by side, what do you see in cw that puts him over the top against dp? I see them both having good hands and being nearly identical runners. I think DP is better at shaking off arm tackles by changing his shoulder-pad angle, whereas CW just bulls through.

So right in the middle of your post you changed your mind.

IMO Pratt's weight is a bit scewed....he looks more leaner than his posted weight...Whaley looks every bit of 220-230.

Maybe I like the fact he brings the boom when running.


Also Pratt is getting recruited for defense, not RB, where as Whaley is going to Texas for RB.

I think Wylie's Gilmore and Perkins will both have good seasons. Neither will break 1000 because thats just the style of offense Sandifer uses but I bet they combine for over 1500.

I have a performance question. I was talking to a coach the other day and one of his kids did a 9' 8" standing broad jump. He said that that was a lot.

First, is that alot?

Second, what skill does that relate to on the field?
