Gulf could have scored 80 on Hudson. It's about time Alton Voss and Shawn Williamson broke out.

I got drenched, but my alma mater is in the playoffs.

[Andy]

Yeah Alton did have a good game hopefully they can keep it up vs Land O Lakes next week and into the playoffs vs whoever they play and if they do they are gonna make some noise in the 3A playoffs.

[OL Expert]

I guess they will play the winner of bishop moore/eustis, which plays tonight.

[Andy]

Yea if they play the Bishop Moore they must stop VJ Floyd he is a D1 Running back and is powerful and has speed so Gulf has played good vs the run but they must step it up if they want to win their playoff game.

[OL Expert]

Andy-did you play LB for Gulf last year?

[Andy]

Yea I did ,I was #21....played lb and they put me at NG alot cause I was fast off the ball, they had me go against that 6'1 300 Allen Wynn last year and I was beating him all day on the line.Yeah are you going to the next game vs Land O Lakes? It should be a good one...the last Voss vs Weatherford game.

[OL Expert]

I thought I knew who you were. I cover HS football for another paper. I had a few of your games last year(mitchell, Rwood)

I played offensive line at Gulf.

Not sure if I'm going to the LOL game. It will be interesting to see how benedetto and fulmer play that game. The game means nothing, really. LOL will probably host chamberlain in round 1.

Who ever voted for BOBBY SANTANA and MATT HYLAND FOR the best DB and RB you need to check your eyes. both of those guys are AVERAGE at best. Santana was playing scared all night and the only time i heard his name was when he downed a punt. Matt Hyland scored but in the 4th when the score was 42-0 the running clock was going and Dunedin had in there JV players. PHUH is not a good football team and Hyland is no where near the top DB in the county

Dunedin 42 PHUH 7............

[Q]

EVERYBODY WHO DOESNT CARE ABOUT THOSE GREEN DEVILS OF ST.PETE GUESS WHAT WERE IN THE PLAYOFFS WITH OUR NEW COACH WERE GOING TO TRY TO TAKE 5A OVER THIS POSTSEASON

You got to come down to the Dun first partner should be a good game but we looking to take yall out and get the matchup with Noel Devine in the second round

Isn't it kind of sad that a team without
a winning record can make the playoffs?

Andy, who won that game last year when you were allegedly beating Allen Wynn all night long? I don't remember it the way you put it. Please be honest with yourself and everyone else. Also, Gulf has no chance against Bishop Moore (they beet Eustis 16-14 tonight). BM has Floyd who would be by far the best running back in this area but they have a tough O-line and a great defense. P.S. they did not allow a single point until week 6.

[Mike T]

Land O' Lakes rules. They've now made the playoffs 10 years in a row. How many has Gulf made? Sorry...ha ha. Go Gators. And I don't want to hear about talent. I was a junior at LOL when we made the playoffs in 1997, the first year of the streak. We had shit for what people would consider "talent." We just had a bunch of blue-collar boys. I credit the coaching staff. They may not be concerned with getting any of their players to college, but they are concerned with making their players the best high school players they can be. They bring out the best in players with sub-par talent.

[Andy]

Yea Thats good for Hudson that they won I never said they were a bad team at all but I know who I was beating all night and no one is gonna tell me otherwise....and too bad Gulf does have a chance if you knew football what so ever.....that same VJ Floyd kid was shutdown by that Hudson team last year....and as seeing that I've seen both teams play (2005 Hudson Cobras) and (2006 Gulf Bucs) Gulf has a better team with more athletes and more speed so idk what you are talking about saying they have no chance.....the team that look like they had no chance was Hudson tonight what was the score 41-6?

[OL Expert]

I'll give it to Land O Lakes. After seeing them against Ridgewood and pasco this year, I thought they had no shot against the 2 hillsborough teams. That's great coaching, no doubt.

Give us a break, tompkins, let us buccaneers enjoy our little taste of the playoffs. lol

[John]

I have to admit, Zhills is for real.

A Pasco Fan

Got to hand it to the Countryside coaches, they COACHED a great game last night. The team made some big mistakes, but the coaching was spot on.......and what about that kicker! Very impressive. Congrats to the Cougars for their fifth straight year of making the playoffs.

St. Pete gets handled by Bogie next week. What a false playoff team! They should claim best of the worst and turn their pads in!

Good coaching? They went for a two point conversion when they were up by eight. You always go for the extra point and make it a two score game. It kept the other team in the game and almost let them tie it at the end.
They needed two fity yard+ field goals to win by two. They only scored one touchdown for the second week in a row.

Yeah great offensive coaching. They only better coaching was the special teams. Two blocked punts and a fumbled punt in the rain. You tell the kid not to catch it when it is that wet just let it go.

What is the playoff picture for Pinellas and Hillsbourgh counties?

[Ashley]

You got to give to Osceola High School they worked their butts off to win....in 2OT, after being held backs by some difficult refs they manganed to pull off an amazing play faking a kick and having the kicker dart down to the end zone.....amazing game!!!!

Clearwater is the hottest team right now

Too bad Clearwater missed the playoffs.
Thats not very hot.

I agree with 1207...something needs to be revised regarding the playoffs. I dont pretend to have the answer, but it is sad when a team with a losing record can go to the State Playoffs. I dunno, should hafta have a winning record or sumthin, waddya you guys think?

The blog voting for the best players at their position is a joke. Way to go, Bobby "Toast" Santana. You must have had a great night watching all the receivers and running backs go by you for TD's. And as for the winner of the best DL award, Eling from Tarpon I think is his name and all the rest of them Swann etc, who got numerous votes, they were all invisible last night as Clearwater's OL dominated them.

I have to agree with a previous poster a couple of weeks ago. Worthy Jackson is a thug and it's not because of his dregs. After ripping a helmet off a Clearwater player's head last night at the conclusion of a play he proceeded to taunt the Clearwater bench and drew an unsportsmanlike penalty. What was he celebrating, the fact that his team was getting it's ass kicked by 3 TD's. His conduct has no place in high school football.

11:13, you are a little too quick to start your badmouthing. I was at the game, Cside did not go for two after scoring. It was a mishandled snap and a mad scramble after that..sides reference all the rest of your garbage, kids make mistakes in what was a really bad weather night..East Lake had their share.

Thank you 4:21....at least you were at the game and able to follow it. That game was well coached, C'side figured out that EL had a weak defense and took advantage of all of the holes that they made when they overshot. It was a terrible weather night, which is a great equalizer. Both teams played really well, considering how horrible the weather was. I am sure it was the same way at some of the other games as well. I realize that some of you are totally bummmed that C'side managed to get in the playoffs again...for the fifth straight year.

1:49 eling doesnt play for tarpon so i doubt you handled him

Excuse me, Engram, Swann the great Van Riper or whoever, Tarpon was NOTHING!

How do you guys think the Largo vs. C-side game will go 1st round of the playoffs?

How 'bout them Austin's? Potential police charges against Jay? Gotta love it! But of course they are blatantly untrue, right!?

Funny how things come around!

How do I think the Largo C'side game will go? Not well for the Cougars......

[Andy]

I think that the way both teams are going in Largo has been playing much better then Countryside has....Countryside has become vunerable and L.D. Crow has not had a game where anyone has been very determine to stop the passing game....I loook for Largo to give Countryside a good dousage of Brynn Harvey on the ground and for Largo to advance in the 5A playoffs.Land O' Lakes has been playing very strong and look like they have a nice road to the region finals ....and that's when they run into the USA Today's #1 high school team in the nation- Lakeland....thats where IO expect Land O' Lakes to end their playoff run. I look for 1 team to make a Cinderalle run in the playoffs this year towards the region finals and maybe further.....the playoffs are 2 weeks away and they should be some great games to watch.

In the same weather that night Dunedin and Largo scored over 40. Northeast and Osceola scored in the high 20's.

C-side is averaging 1 thouchdown a game the last three weeks. It is horrible. They let thier D1 quaterback throw just 9 times.

THe Eastlake people I was with did not think it was a bad snap. It sure looked like a designed play to us.

C-side have had like 6 or 8 blocked punts this year? They keep everyone in their game with horrible punting and punt returning.

Quit coming onto the blog and sucking up when your coaches dont do anything special at all. You have lost two of your last three games and cant score 30 a game anymore. It is like last year people adjust to what you do at the begining of the season against bad teams and shut you down in the second half. A good coahing staff would find a way to change things up and surprize people. On side kicks and fake extra points dont count. Good coachin is hanging in a game against a much more talented opponent and almost beating them at the end. We did not have any blocked or dropped punts. We had a team make two field goals of over 50 yards and get lucky to beat us.

C-side the only drama left is if Lakewood kicks your butt or not before Largo beats you by 30 and shuts you out.

That was definetly not a fake the holder had trouble handling the ball in the wet weather but yeah I would also be disspointed losing to a countryside team too ruit crying n face it you lost

832, sometimes you have valid viewpoints regarding football, but you are so slanted negatively against one team...Cside, the most successful program in north county for sure over the last 5 years, a great accomplishment for the coaches you malign. You show your real ignorance tho when you think that "good coaches change things up" in the 9th game of a season. Yeah, they have problems, specially with their kicking game, with protecting the qb, and they may "change things up" and play their younger kids and lose to Lakewood. Big deal, they are still the absolute CLASS PROGRAM IN PINELLAS COUNTY.

It's not the critic that counts, its not the man who points out when the strong man stumbles, or when the doer of deeds errs, the credit belongs to the man in the arena who is covered by sweat ,blood ,and tears.

"If your not in the field of battle your a spectator you have no status your comments are void of credibility"

They are the class of the North over the past 3 years not 5. They were never that good with Ionata and John Davis has only been there for 3 years correct me if i am wrong. It may have been 4 but im not sure

this is Johns 5th year

Is it just me or does everybody notice when they write up the stats or pre-game articles, the Mustangs never get any credit. They punished shorecrest into the ground and all the paper had to say is that shorecrest missed their chances. It was more like domination

Countryside has had some key injuries on the o-line, which is the biggest reason Crow is having difficulties. He does not have his big line like he did last year. The coach is making the adjustments he needs to and hoping for the best. GOod luck to the COugars

Largo is the class program of the county you idiot. Rodriquez is the best coach in the county hands down.

But if you are not a coach or a player you cant comment according to countryside.

Courtyside will see actualy who is the class program of the county in two weeks.

Wait this is football , a win is a win. Get over it and do it too instead of bad mouthing the hard working kids.

largo doesnt know what class is

osceola is gunna beat that ass against largo this friday...

Not Likely

.............

Lets give those countryside coaches a round of applause for making the playoffs for the fifth straight year in a row!! Congrats to you all on your journey and keep up the great work you do, for the kids of Pinellas County!!

The only aplause they deserve is for not gettin caught for recruiting. My 8 year old son could get 8 wins with those kids.

Osceola will loose to Largo by 20. They also got very lucky against NEHI. Northeast was missing 3 starters. But I'm sure Jerry will have those boys ready for tonight. But hey a win is win. Lets just hope tonight is not as exciting.

WE WANT COREY LEIGHN!!!!!!

How does Largo not know what class is?

Hey 8:25 on Sunday. We can tell you have a lot of hate for the Austins, because that's all you ever spew on this blog. If you knew anything about the facts, the kid (who is 18 by the way) has been nothing but disrespectful all year & was even off the team early in the season for fighting with his own team mates. What about innocent until proven guilty? The facts will come out in the investigation.

Andy....If you think that this years Gulf team is anywhere near as good as last years Hudson team, you need to wake up. Of course we will see since you play the same opponent that Hudson did in the 1st round. Hudson was a more complete team, more balanced, better coached, and had twice the character as Gulf. Gulf has a lot of talent yes, but at the first sign of adversity their true character shows. I think it is very interesting that over the summer all we heard from Gulf was State Championship caliber team and they will end the regular season at 6-4, and the only time they played a true Championship caliber team they decided to rest players for their upcoming game with a team that was decimated by graduation and has a starting roster that looks more like a Junior Varsity team. Enjoy your "making the playoffs" as it is the only thing that Gulf will do. And even that is as a runner-up, as I recall Hudson was a District Champion last year.

Hey, control the kids, dont assault them

You mean the facts like a high school student (no matter his age) being slammed into a locker by a coach? Those facts?

Cant wait to hear the juicy details!

What goes around, comes around, that is all I am going to say!

yeah and u def werent in the locker rooms to hear the truth..so why doesnt everyone stop talking about it..when really a kid on the team picked him up and threw him out..why dont u talk to the kids..they will tell u!!plus its none of anyones business!!!

"If your not in the field of battle your a spectator you have no status your comments are void of credibility"

LIKE A BOOSTER CLUB PRESIDENT? Shroeder take your own advice and stay off the blog.

Sounds like someone struck a nerve at NE. Shouldnt you be worrying about your shootout tonight versus going on to the blog to yell at everyone that its none of our business?

Why is this blog about mud slinging more than it is football. This is an area suppose to talk about week 10 wins and losses. What a joke to keep this blog even going. Waste of energy for prep sports.

Absolutely, though unfortunately, both week 9 and 10 for that matter are distracted with unrest at NE due to an altercation serious enough for authorities to be enlisted for assistance. Quite frankly, I am surprised this has not received more attention. The PHU coach gets banned from coaching for swearing at kids, yet no word on the potential criminal action of the altercation at NEHS.

Yeah, and the coach from Lakewood, and the coach from Tarpon...NEHI coaches must have pictures of administrators.

i dont have a prefrence to any team in pinellas county so i can say congrats to largo and whoever said osceola is going to beat them keep dreaming idiot as for c-side you all remember lakewood last year and a loss from tarpon and dunedin this year i will give no round of applause except for when largo beats them about 34 to 7

If a kids throws a elbow at a coach in the locker room and it is 10 pm and there is no administration or school resource officer on campus to help control the sittuation. Then a teacher/coach has the right to remove a student from any situation. I am sure that the coach did not single this kid out for no reason. I heard this kid had already been kick off the football team in the spring for fighting a teammate. And was removed from the basketball team last year for fighting. This could have happened at any school at any time on any sport.

Matt Brown for Govenor

who won on monday night?

NorthEast lost both games and is out. SothEast first, Osceola second.

How appropiate a way for ole Jer to go out. No playoffs with his kid suspended for going after one of his own players. I guess Osceola will now be on the list for recruiting complaints.

You reap what you sow, it is a little thing called KARMA.

One thing for sure, no way junior is hired to replace Poppa next year. Too controversial. Just hire one of the other assistants who has not caused you such a headache. That is how a school administator in this county will view it.

It will be interesting to see if the times covers this in a much annoying detail as they did St Pete Catholic.

Leo, get off the blog

Good ole Jer is history, now we hafta work on all his cronies.

I wonder what "ole jer's" number one fan will have to complain about next year. Maybe you will have to be innovative and try to come up with something positive to say. You have a personal grudge, it's obvious, but why do the rest of us have to hear about it ad nauseum?

Did you notice that whenever there was a negative article about SPC it was put up on the blog for dicussion. A lot of the time rightfully so. But the last two negative articles about Northeast dont get put up on the blog for comments. Why is that? The Tarpon coach got put up for scrutiny as did the Palm Harbor coach. Why is Northeast and Ole Jer and his kid untouchable. That is was is most annoying about the whole situation.

Northeast has as many skelatons as anyone else. They just bitch like little girls about everyone else.

I think many people have noticed, the problem is, the paper hasnt noticed. SPC is villified for at worse, over promising their ability to get kids into college, yet NE has an assistant coach who "allegedly" assaulted a player. Now surely, SPC was found to have recruited, and is now paying the price, but lets all be honest...SPC was considered guilty long before even a single charge was investigated.

Yet, here we have a coach with a special last name, for whatever reason that might be, who is largely being igrnored. The PHU coach got toasted on this blog, and in this very paper for only cursing at kids. The Freedom coach lost his job for cursing at the wrong person. I think most would consider assault a greater issue then cursing out high school athletes, no?

And if the school just "gives" the program to one of his assistants, what a great diservice that would be to the kids and the school! I doubt this will happen knowing the assistants who comprise that staff over there, but if it does...ouch!

This job will be sought after by many assistant coaches through out the county. I hope they do not just give it way to someone there.

T0 11:23 - thats because the St. Pete Times loves Jerry. If you noticed through out the season they always had a big article about their game and there was always a quote by Austin in the paper. I think the 2nd team the Times is most enamored with is CCC>

Yeah a team that does not make to the playoffs wins three of the questions and it would have been four (they would not let the same running back win most elusive and best power back)

Clearly a favorite.

Cause they are all afraid of good ole Jer. Watch him on the sidelines, he has never obeyed a rule in his lifetime

[Keith]

There must be a reason that Ron Diaz on The Sports Animal WDAE 620 refers to the Time as the St. Pete Lies.

There are definitely some good coordinators in Pinellas county that deserve a shot at that job.
Just look at the two coordinators from
Largo.

[Bob Putnam]

I'll post something once everything is resolved with Jay Austin. We didn't post anything when Dan Mancuso was punched. As for the other incidents, we didn't post until some sort of punishment or action was taken (Bengsten being banned, Buck resigning, and SPC being fined and placed on probation).
BOB PUTNAM

I believe one is innocent until proven guilty??

Let's talk about the out of control, spoiled, obnoxious and disrespectful kids that those of us in the school system have to deal with on a daily basis. Perhaps if parents taught their children to respect authority, if people stopped having kids that they can't take care of physically, emotionally and financially
AND if kids knew how to behave in a school setting (if you visited a regular classroom today, you'd be shocked at the behavior we have to put up with) maybe then teachers and coaches wouldn't be pushed to their boiling points. Yes, we are all professionals, but where does the individual responsibility of the student come in? Let's face it - there is no personal responsibility any more - kids know they can get by doing just about anything 'cause mommy, daddy, the legal system, the NAACP . . . whatever will be there to protect "their" rights.

That's the problem with our school system today - the students are the "customers" and isn't the customer always right?

Instead of roasting the coaches or teachers, let's start roasting the kids that can't follow orders or behave. I don't care what color, religion or sex you are . . . if you can't behave, if you can't follow the rules and if you can't respect authority then you have no right to the luxury of a free education including participation in team sports.

Come on. Life is full of annoying bad people, you cant put your hands on them. News flash Students are annoying and disrepectfull, you still can not get physical. Who is the licensed adult professional in this situation?

Clearly it was a distraction which probably cost them their playoff spot. You have to be smarter than that.

I agree with 11:41. The parent in this case should be a shamed of himself. He has a kid out of control and he calls the NAACP. He should have snatched the kid up himself. This kid has played for the Austin's for along time. In fact it was Jay that got him back on the team the last time he got kicked off for disrespect and fighting. Face it this kid has some issue and thanks to him the rest of the kids at Northeast had to pay the price. I'm glad he won't be on the team next year and I hope the basketball coach has enough since to not let him on that team either.

HERE COMES THE RACE CARD!!!!
THE TRUMP OF ALL TRUMPS!!!!!

THIS IS SO TYPICAL. SO WHEN JAY COMES BACK TO COACHING IS THERE GOING TO BE A RIOT?

Kids are tought by there parents these days that nothing is there fault, it is always someone elses. This parent only sees dollar signs and if it has to ruin a coaches name then so be it.

I hope all the other kids on the team give this kid a hard time at school.

So much for Jay Austin taking over for poppa

Oh and by the way just leave the NAACP stuff out of the conversation we dont want to incinuate a race war on this board also the discussion has gone beyond football and should be left alone.

How about those playoff matchups though lets see how they go:
Cside vs. Largo: Largo by 3 td's
Dunedin vs. St. Pete: Dunedin by 3 td's
Osceola vs. Jefferson: Jefferson in a closer one than people think
Tarpon vs. Merritt Island: Dont let MI's record fool you Tarpon is not going be a good match for them. MI by 3 TD's

NAACP is part of the case we didnt bring them into the parent of this kid did. Even though race had nothing to do with it.

Where has the NAACP been brought into this? Rouson is no longer with the NAACP, and is merely the attorney representing the family in this case.

Frankly, I find it darn near scary that there are those on this board who find it okay for coaches to put their hands on kids. I thought those days were over. Coaches know better than to grab facemasks, grab kid's jerseys, curse, deny water, the whole nine yards. The days of Bear Bryant are over my friends.

Like it or not, you cannot touch a player, whether he is cursing you up and down like there is no tomorrow. He could be calling you every name under the sun, and guess what....YOU CANT TOUCH HIM! You cant touch him in the classroom, you cant touch him in the hallways, and you certainly dont have the right to touch him in the locker room.

I am waiting for the investigation to be completed, but from the accounts and rumors swirling about, I dont like what I have been hearing regarding Jay Austin's behavior.

I have to say that this kid and his family lost any credibility when I read that they retained Daryl Rousson. Is every conflict a race issue when a black kid is involved?

I fear that Jay will also have to fight against those wanting the HC job at NEHI and will dirty the water with half truths and rumors in hopes of disqualifying him from consideration. Whether you like the Austins or not, Jay has paid his dues and should be given the chance for the job once Jerry is gone.

osceola is gunna whoop largos ass... watch out LHS, you guys are actually playing a real team, not soft ones like ur last 9 games

Hey 11:19 If you think it was a coincidence that they ended up with Rousson as their attorney then your just as ignorant as they are. You probably can't control your kid either. Its parents like you who have taken discipline out of the schools and for that fact out of your house. Do you think a kid should get timeout for telling a coach to "F off"? Yes you do, I can tell by your comments. I am not saying a coach has a right to fight with a student but a teacher or coach does have the right to remove a student from a serious sitation that was going to lead to a fight with other students.

get off the blog brooks

What dues has Jay paid? Every coach pays those dues. Just because his dad is the head coach does not mean he should be named head coach. They should open it up, take applicants, interview the best ones and hire for the job. If they do that, and he is the best....congrats!

I heard Mancusso applied for headcoach at Northeastnext year. Is this true.

Mancusso RULES!!!!

Hey 1:12, what other pinellas school has done what you are suggesting? Lakewood? Nope. Bogie? Nope. St. Pete? Hmm, maybe.

Jay has done much more than just be the right racial profile for the job like at other schools. Again, I say he deserves the job at NEHI.

osceola isnt playing jefferson in the playoffs they are playing plant...

We will stand behind Jay till the end.

FREE JAY AUSTIN!!!!!!!
FREE JAY AUSTIN!!!!!!!

Go Spongers! 4A all the way!

8:29 the point I am trying to make is that a lot of qualified applicants will apply for that job. Just giving it to Jay because he has been at Northeast and his dad is Jerry would be wrong. What about coordinators from other schools that have been successful? There are great coordinators in this county. It would be shame for them not to be considered just because their daddy was not the last head coach. If they want Jay thats great, but still interview. You may be suprised and find a better candidate.

in addition 8:29 look at the records of the 3 schools you mentioned. They are a combined 11-16. If that is what you want for NE so be it. I do not think any job should be given away without interviewing deserving candidates. They pay coaches so little in this county the least they can do is give them opportunities to interview for jobs.

to all u that want to make it a black and white issue maybe u should hear the true story about after the coach told him to leave he came up in running his mouth and a black player picked him up and threw him out..soo lets see how does that have anything to do with color its called disrespect!!!

And we all know what you should do when someone disrespects you....you jack him up into the lockers...that gets your respect back!

I got your back Jay!

How come whenever a African American Male gets appointed head coach there are people our there 1:12 your one of them that want to say he got the job because of his genetic makeup. Why cant it just be that they thought he would be the best man for the job in there opinion? This is still a very racially tense county. I thought we ended slavery over a century ago.

Who said the coaches were hired because they are black? I believe the poster was talking about the hiring process at Bogie this year and how it was not opened up to anyone. Leanes prides himself on being a renegade, so why go through the headache of interviewing people when you can give the job to one of your cronies. Did he pick the best person for the job? Only time will tell. But I honestly don't think he picked Stevie because he's black. Leanes knew he was leaving, he liked Stevie and knew he played ball (but there is more to coaching than just knowing how the game is played) and hiring him was the easiest thing to do at the time.

Hey 1;13. I am a black male asst coach and the reason people say that is because the first thing we say when we dont get the job is that we didnt get it because of my race. So if you dont want it said about you, you should not say it the other way.

The unfortunate thing about the situation at NEHI is that the the hard working, motivated, respectful kids who worked hard to get as far as they did have to pay the price. I feel for the seniors who had to end their last year on such a bad note. Coaches have to give respect to get respect.

Jay gives every kid respect. Just some kids give none in return and they think everyone owes them the world.

Regarding the Gulf vs. Bishop Moore Game: I have had the pleasure to watch both teams play (Gulf against Zephyrhills - thank god for business trips, and Bishop Moore at Eustis) and I think that BM will win this one hands down. While Voss is the real deal (great D1 dual threat QB) Bishop Moore will be too much for them to handle. I read that VJ has not fully played in 4 games, obviously all win, and BM has shown that they can win without him. BM also shut down a D1 prosepect in TJ Borcky at Lake Highland who is almost a carbon copy of Alton Voss (but with a better arm). Gulf's OLine is really weak and an extraordinary BM defense will wreak havoc on Voss. He better watch out for #50 (i'd say 6'4" maybe 255 and I hear hes a state champion wrestler) he leads the BM defense and is a beast, #51 a hard hitting kid who makes plays, and #56 who is quick as a cat. I think BM will be just too much for Gulf too handle.

BM-35 Gulf-14

I know Eric Terrell personally and he has never been a bad kid everybody gets in arguments with other kids but one thing I can say is that he always makes the situation better and false information was given saying that he was kicked off the football and basketball team before this incident. Hardworking student athlete that got screwed over by Austins.
