I can't keep it simple. Obviously this will have some Franklin-Simpson perspective but I will add objectivity.

1. Best game you saw or heard this year:

Franklin-Simpson v. Collins. Both teams left all they had on the field. It was all out start to finish.

1A. Franklin-Simpson v. Lone Oak at Lone Oak. FS defense totally frustrated the Flash holding them to 7 points despite excellent field position.

2. Best offensive player: Easy Patrick Towles. He played for Highlands so they won. Put him on FS side of the ball and they win. Even Highlands could not defend two Wickwares and Towles.

2A is Darius Wickware of FS. Some speed, a lot of strength and the heart and determination of a lion.

Defensive player: Michael Brooks from Collins. He is everywhere.

2A is Kane Ray of FS. Smaller version of Brooks, over 200 tackles.

Special teams player: Jerrell Wickware of FS.


3. Best Ironman: O'Shea Ray and Ray Huckaby both of FS. Both undersized and both battled in the trenches all game every game.

4. Best play you saw this year. Two. Both occurred in the FS/Collins game. One the punt return by the kid from Collins mentioned above. Two, the win sealing interception by J. Wickware.

5. Most surprising team this year: Franklin-Simpson, did not really see them in the SC game.

6. Greatest moment from the season: Playing for a State Championship

7. Final thoughts on the realignment: Leave it alone, EXCEPT allow teams to play up in class. That has always been done and should be an option.
