Best Running Back in Southeast Texas

[LtXPantherZ]

As far as the statistics go I would say Ford from K-ville but out of the running backs that I have seen play I would say Darrin "Bucket" Edwards from Liberty. He leads 22-3A in rushing yards and rushing touchdowns. He doesn't have very much break-away spead but he is really quick in and out of his cuts and has great ball carrier vision. He runs hard and is always going forward, and on top of the that he is amazingly strong for his size and breaks more tackles then you would except from a running back who is roughly 5"4 maybe shorter and doesn't weigh much.

IMO La Marque doesn't play any team that is on in our area and isn't even on the preview of the teams so thats a little out of southeast texas.

Yeah i wasn't considering them a SETX team either and I'm talking about last season too Ford rushed for 2000+  yards but idk about the Wright guy.

[/quote]How many games has Kountze won .... who have they played ... Ford's yards have come in big games ... in arguably some of the toughest games, just ask the Arp Tigers ... well over 200 yards in a STATE TITLE loss ... how many times does he have the entire stadium knowing he is getting the ball ... I will say it again and this is the bottom line because Big Wildcat said so ... Ford is the best in SETX

watched the lamarque highlights that were posted.  they looked like they were well coached but i didnt see too many highlights from this running back you hold on a pedastal.  looks like they were playing teams that didnt have a chance to get off the bus without tripping over the steps.

Coldspring has actually two backs with more rushing yards and tds I believe one back has 18 tds.

Impressive numbers but I think they are talking about SE Texas and just the local area...Kind of hard to define it now..Good numbers anyway.... :)

[kville]

I think it seems easy to look at stats and think the guy with the bigest numbers must be the best. IMO it is not that easy. For example I am not saying Fred Ford is the best but he is a contender. He has been pulled out for games he could have  doubled his yards and scores in. Weather it was to keep him healthy for later in the season or to keep from running the score up in the name of good sportsmanship he still could have over 1500 yard if they had not pulled him in those games. And he is not the only one by far either. I guess it comes down to who makes they yards and the points when their team needs it to win. If the guy fits the need for his team and has 700 yards he could still be the best. No  good way to  compare apples and oranges. We ve got Ford in Kville and he is a part of what keeps us winning no mater what the stats say.

[#1stangfan]

In my limited perspective, I would consider Fred Ford the best.  However, if Britton Lindsey carried the ball more than 10 times per game, he might be in the conversation.

[/quote]Jersey #2, when you have a God-given talent such as this young man, most teams do appear like you described.

By the way does anyone have any hi-lites of the other young men described on this thread? I would like to watch them.

I prefer to compliment talent when I see it, all of our student/athletes deserve it. I also leave the negative comments to others in describing any team who is proud to wear a uniform, even if their moms and dads didn't teach them how to step out of a bus.

BTW, whoever downplayed the level of LM's competition needs to get out a little more... especially when it comes to district 24-4A. Wright makes those defenses look inept. He's been doing it since he was a freshman.... :o
