Hussey would be a likely candidate but remember, this is the Willie Ray Smith awards.  If you are not from Beaumont or Port Arthur your chances dwindle quickly.  Usually when you see a kid from outside the city limits win it's because their stats are so outrageous they can't be denied.  This is why several of the area schools have stopped nominating their players or attending.

From what I have personally seen, you could give both awards to Tramain Thomas. He is the real

deal, he can take it to the "House " on offense and really bring the "Lumber" on defense. Just my

opinion. I will make an early prediction for next year, HF's Cameron Burrell. He is already making an

impact as a Junior, I would hope that would not change next year.

Dont take this offensive, but it would be real hard for a kid from HF to win it. I agree with you though, he impressed me against us. Good luck to HF MAKE THE PLAYOFFS!!!!!

Asa Cardenas- Ned.

Third in the Greater Houston area in recieving.

No offense taken. I guess you are right, small school players do not get that many "HeadLines". We

are lucky just to get our stats mentioned

In fact, I believe the last "small" school to get one was Orangefield in '99. My good friend Beaux Daville got the offensive. You know they hated that, but he was nasty, you couldnt overlook him. It would have proved their bias. I think he still holds some 3A records.

Sean Weatherspoon From Jasper won it in 05-06. He now starts at LB for MIZZU. And Red Bryant from Jasper won it in 03-04 I believe. He now starts at nose for A@M.

[playdefense]

Tramian Thomas should be considered for both sides of the ball no doubt.

He has only played 1 full game on offense which hurts his "stats", but those who know understand he is a special player.

Defensively he is outstanding as well.  I would put him up for Defensive Player of the Year in a heartbeat.

[LionHeart]

tramain is more of an offensive player...he doesnt look like what everyone makes him out to be on the defensive...

I understand Tramain has several D-1 schools that expect him to play on the defensive side of the ball in college.

I guess you mean smaller than the average 3A, right? WO-S has (as you know) won it each of the last two years - Beasley for the offense in 05 and Earl Thomas last year for defense.

Maybe you should ask the Warren Warriors if Tramain is worth it on Defense.  Lionheart..have you seen him play?  come on be honest...

Finalists will be released in November.

Yes, I meant "mid-majors" in 3A. Not saying anything negative here, but your Jasper's, Silsbee's, or your WOS's arent really considered 3A. Atleast not statisticaly if you know what I mean. Example: Oklahoma would be a normal D1 team while Hawaii is D1 and doesnt get the same recognition.

[Guest car ramrod]

Tremain Thomas is the real deal on D.  He had three int. last week, with two being returned for TD's.
