just what the Pistons need: a third string center. Joe Dumars was replaced by a mean ol' alien a few years back you guys.
Friday Night Lights 2009: 12-22
Filed under:
Since High School seasons nationwide have come to an end, Friday Night Lights will be covering mostly All-Star games and All-State/League/etc. honors for committed players. Any future commits will also get the full treatment.
New Commits
MD LB Josh Furman
Furman led his Old Mill Patriots to a Maryland State Championship, running over fools as a running back. Some of the specific games were tough to find (the local papers put articles more than a month old behind a paywall), but I was able to find full stats for his performance during the 12-2 season. He was named the MVP of his county.
Furman suffered a knee injury in the state final, and was unable to participate in yesterday's Maryland Crab Bowl.

FL DT Richard Ash
Pahokee had a rough season, despite tons of D-1 talent (including Ash, 7 Pahokee players are already committed to BCS-conference programs, with at least 2-3 more likely to follow suit). They finished the year 6-5, including a loss to Glades Central in the Muck Bowl. I couldn't find individual stats for Ash, but he reportedly had an up-and-down season - just like the rest of the Blue Devils.
Seasons Complete
MI QB Devin Gardner
Named 1st-Team All-State at QB.
SC QB Conelius Jones
Conelius participated as a wide receiver in the weekend's Shrine Bowl (North Carolina v. South Carolina). South Carolina dropped a 14-24 decision to North Carolina. Jones didn't accumulate any stats:
Jones had a pass thrown his way but was not able to get in the stat book. He saw a significant amount of playing time.
“It was a good all-star game. Everyone was fast and quick. It was an honor to be out here and playing.”
TX RB Tony Drake
Tony was named Honorable Mention All-State in Texas's 5A Division, the most competitive football division in the state (country?).
MI RB Austin White
Named Honorable Mention All-State at RB.
LA Slot WR Drew Dileo
Drew had to pull out of a Baton Rouge All-Star gam because he was injured in his Championship game. He was Honorable Mention All-State in Louisiana's Class 3A.
MI WR Ricardo Miller
Named Honorable Mention All-State at WR.
MI WR Jeremy Jackson
Named 1st-Team All-State at WR.

How could a team with so much talent only go 6-5?

Good lord, a 42 rush, 414 yard, 6 td game in the playoffs? That's redonkulous.

He sure hates Arundel doesn't he?
To out the Drake HM in perspective, Lache Seastruck, a consensus Top 10 talents and Rivals' #1 RB, is only second team All State.
