Class all of sudden matters for on the field performance....? If thats the case then Mike Hartline should be POY. Abner is a good player, but if you want to say that just b.c he is SR now, and the game is at SW, that he is going to turn into former KC KOR Dante Hall, well than ok.


Captain, you are awful rough on Spencer....Why?

You're 100% correct. Class has no bearing whatsoever with a player's performance--that's exactly why most teams start just as many freshmen as juniors and seniors.....oh wait. That's why players set their personal highs in weightlifting when they're freshmen...oops.

Its all relative to the player's talent. Mike Hartline is certainly better as a senior than he was as a sophomore. This year he's got a passer rating of 143.52 vs. 104.71 his completion percentage is 66.5 vs 55.5, he's got 9 TDs and 3 INTs (in 6 games)vs 9 TDs and 8 INTs (the whole 2008 season). The fact that he's a senior doesn't make him an NFL draft pick he is certainly a much better player than he was as a sophomore. And so is Abner.

Barring injury or a poor work ethic almost all players improve from their sophomore to senior seasons, particulary in high school. That is one of the weakest arguments I've ever heard.

Maroons 35-14.
