It is very rare for a freshman to make much of a contribution to a high school varsity football. How about a freshman running back who averaged 9.3-yards per carry, carried it a tad under 200-times, gained nearly 2,000 yards, and scored a TD every 8.65 carries? What about that for rare? We are recognizing the inordinate freshman season of Taylor County’s Peyton Smith this week. We felt his numbers were worthy of recognition and required nourishment. Luck for us, Mingua Beef Jerky felt exactly the same way. Enjoy the feature. HB.

Since KPGFootball started with the top classification when picking district winners, this time we started with Class 1A and yesterday we projected Class 2A. Today we give you our projections for the next classification up from the lowest one, here is Class 3A!

We don’t feel it is deserved on his part. His play has sure helped launch Taylor County to before unprecedented levels of play. Don’t forget Logan Parker! Players like him don’t grace us too often with their presence on the high school level.

Only the Strong Thrive…

September 14, 2017 Fletcher Long 0

I wrote a 5 part series entitled Plug-In Players in which I detailed freshmen either starting or playing enough on Friday Night to insure the player would likely earn a Varsity Letter. More and more people are coming up through the Middle School ranks and getting plugged into lineups and significantly […]
