I think I alluded to this in my post.

You obviously haven't watched Hensley enough if you don't think he'd do the same as Thomas with the same number of touches against the Bell Co opponents.

As for Thomas, your mountain bias has gone berserk if you think he would get 5000 yards in the LCA offensive scheme. Yes, he would benefit from the balanced attack, but his touches would be limited just like Hensley's. All against much tougher competition. It's laughable to state he would average 21.3 yards per carry against that schedule. Come on man!

I'd expect the statistics to look almost the same if they swapped teams. It's a credit to both of them. To say it's not close shows more bias, because it is close. The national record puts Thomas in exclusive company. Outperform Hensley's game against CAL on Saturday (see stats in earlier post) should sway the voters too.

Every game this year but one, the defense opposite of bell has had 9 plus guys in the box. Getting 10.2 with that is crazy. Now if he plays in a system with better lineman, a 4star qb and elite receiver, and defenses have 5 or 6 man boxes, the room to run is enormous. Like brendan Anthony for pikeville. Just watched him be able to get in space and break tackles rather than get hit in the backfield. Give thomas the crazy spacing that LCA has and yes he could have 5000. He about to get 4000 while getting hit at the line of scrimmage most plays. 

I’ve watched 3 LCA games early in the year. Touches wise, hensley would’ve had 100 plus more carries if they didn’t play in the worst district ever. In the non running clock games, he had over 25 in each game. Sometimes 30 plus. Yes the usage is less, but that’s because they played shawnee, fort knox, web dubois. Thomas at LCA would have 300 plus carries, 4000 plus yards, and most likely still be playing this week. Hensley at bell would have 300 plus carries, and 3000 or more yards and also playing this week. 

I have mountain bias over some regions of the state. Not lex and Louisville. The mountains rains supreme over most areas of the state, like the cave region. Not over Lex.

Most don't realize that Bell Co. gets everyone's best shot whether it is east carter Knox Co ,Pineville or whoever they play so Like Coach Hilton says regardless of what people says their are 12 teams left in the state to play for a championship and we are 1 of them and by the end of tomorrow only 6 teams will end season with a victory and That is the bottom line if they like it or not we are one of the top 12 teams Let's go Bobcats!!
