[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

Of course I'm picking Wilson (Port Arthur Memorial) for Offense. Wouldn't be surprised if Miller (Silsbee) won though. 

For defense: I lean towards Smith (Jasper) but wouldn't be surprised if Williams (Silsbee) won it.

of course I would like for TyAnthony to win it. 

Them Foster's in Newton have a pretty good history when it comes to awards though(well deserved by all means).

Going by the stats (which the majority of the voters do) Williams blew Smith out of the water.

I would say that both Silsbee players are the favorites but I have seen over the years some strange voting.

All are very worthy of the award. Foster won it last year.

We will see on April 24

I love that Lucas Powell is in the running, but being fair, Miller would be my vote on offense.

[Reagan]

Interesting that no one from PNG is on this list!

TyAnthony didn't play the 1st three games of the season and Jasper played fewer games than Silsbee. So of course his numbers should be higher.

I believe it was....yep 14 🤔😉

[Dirty_but_Dazzling]

Newton played 14 and HF 13. Had TyAnthony played just the full schedule of regular season he would have had 150+ tackles easy.

24 DI offers.

what's Williams offer count? I know it's not a factor in who wins Wiilie Ray award. I am just curious.

People want to pick a player from there own team. Our QB threw 50 times and completed 2 passes but one was to the other team but he should win. 
Hopefully the best deserving person will win this award. I think the committee has done a good job in the past and will be fair in selecting the best for each position.

Cameron Dischler             RB   Orangefield

Jayron Williams                LB  Silsbee

[BEARCPA]

Defensive statistical category leaders on a per-game basis are in bold.

Williams is my choice for winner because backfield disruption is how a defense impacts the game the most imo.

 

Smith: 14.75 total tackles/game; 9.5 solo tackles/game; 1.25 TFL/game; 0.25 sacks/game

Williams: 13.93 total tackles/game; 9.43 solo tackles/game; 2.79 TFL/game; 0.72 sacks/game

Foster: 10 total tackles/game; 6.79 solo tackles/game; 1.29 TFL/game; 0.22 sacks/game

DeRanieri: 11.93 total tackles/game; 7.85 solo tackles/game; 1.23 TFL/game; 0.39 sacks/game

Silsbee sweep!!! 

[BADSANTA]

I'm disappointed 6 years later than Dontre Thomas who had 70 plus TDs didnt win for Silsbee. 

[BADSANTA]

Which school has the most Willie Ray Smith Award Winners? I would guess Silsbee or WOS.

Miller has 40 offer all from Major D1 schools Bama, Texas, Georgia, USC, Ohio St, TCU, A&M etc.... He is the best football player in SETX right now hands down. 

[BADSANTA]

Silsbee LB Williams also had about 10tds on offense when he lined up at RB.
