Newton should win on both sides of the ball.

Johnson on offense

Foster on defense

No Tamauzia Brown on the defensive side? Didn't he lead the state in interceptions or something?

My understanding is that is the case.

Newton coaches had the option to pick two on each side of the ball but went with just one. Didn't want to split the vote.

I think Johnson will win on offense and Foster on defense. All those listed are good choices. Congratulations to all those selected.

These were the four offensive and defensive players that I voted for:

Offense 
 
Roschon Johnson   QB  Port Neches-Groves 
Darwin Barlow     RB  Newton 
L'Ravien Elia     QB  Beaumont West Brook 
Zach Martin       RB  Woodville 
 
Defense 
 
Corbin Foster    LB  Newton 
Jarron Morris    DB  West Orange-Stark 
Johnathan Hageon DL  Silsbee 
Joey Ciccio      LB  Vidor 

 

Had Brown been on the ballot, I would have voted him on defense.

It should be either Johnson or Barlow for offense and it should be either Foster or Ciccio on D. Ciccio is a absolute monster!

[Tigers2010]

I would lean Offense: Johnson Defense: Foster

While I agree with you big bro, it may not happen that way. Let’s not forget that Dontre Thomas statistically was much better than Jack Dallas and had a monster of a year, but Dallas was chosen because he won a state championship. Unfortunately that may be the deciding factor this year.

I agree with you and I find that unfortunate. It sounds to me this should be an individual award with consideration how the team did. It would be hard to give the award to an athlete that had tremendous numbers but team did not make the playoffs (but it should be possible). I think it's safe to say if you put RJ on Newton or WOS they are both state champions this year. Barlow is obviously a very good player, but I don't think he makes the PNG team better than they were with RJ.

Yeah well Newton won the state title this year and Johnson wasn’t on the team. Yes Barlow would of made PNG a lot better, ask your coach if he would like to have Barlow on the PNG roster he would take him in a heart beat.

But not in place of Johnson.
