I like to keep track of the high school wrestlers who also play football. Let me know who plays a skill position so I can watch for them in the box score. Here are some of the ones I know:

1. Steve Andrus - Manhattan (heard a rumour he may carry the ball once in a while)
3. Romero - Hutch (should see his name a lot this year)
4. Colt Rogers - Smith Center (Look for a break out year)
5. Gage Deere - Washburn Rural - Blocking Fullback last year.

I know there are a lot of other kids playing but I am mainly interested in who will be running, throwing or catching so I can follow their stats.

I believe Joe Bach from Liberal (Full Back)

Why no interest in the players who make it possible for those players to run, throw and catch?

Its not that I am not interested. But when I look at the box scores it won't show the number of good blocks or tackles. It only shows passes, rushing, and catches. That is why I only asked about those positions. I wanted to find out whose name to look for in the Saturday papers.

CJ Madison - state qualifier last season 3-1A 171lbs, will start his Jr year and 3rd year at QB for West Elk, threw for 1500 yards and 15 td's as a soph,

Gage has moved back to the obscure world and life of a lineman (guard and nose tackle). He is looking forward to perfecting a greco reverse lift tackle of Big Steve (manhattan), Kolmer (emporia) and possibly Atticus?,,,

Well if he lifts Atticus it will be holding not a tackle b/c I don't think Atticus will ever carry the ball.

If a team can afford to have Atticus carry the rock, then I'd hate to see the 5-6 on the line to be able to have him run in the backfield. Course, Atticus has good feet - maybe TE?

I hope Atticus and ALL the other lineman out there have a great season and open holes for their Backs and plug the holes they're supposed to (reffering to D-Line).

At least, the ex-lineman is holding out hope for your name(s) to appear in print

At Olathe North you have Jake Catloth-QB and
Lucas Vincent-Defensive End (may see his name for sacks?) and Defensive Tackle

I hope we see Lucas with a TD after a sack!

Hiawatha Ryan Carlson was a state placer last year and he is running out of the full back, spot where Adam Olson set a school record last year. Yes Hiawatha did not win a game last year but Hiawatha should win there share this year. When you have to play teams like Sabetha, Holton and Clay Center its tought to win.

Grandad,

Well, I know it's not the coach. I heard you have one heck of a coach up there ;-)

I'm sure Atticus's old teammate, Jayden Bird will get his name in the paper for Andover Central.

Shane, you must be talking about Diller, right! Just kidding

Now I am embarrassed. I left Jayden off my original list. If you haven't had a chance to watch him play you really should. He delivers a hit even when he is carrying the ball. One of my favorite players.

Mark Kolmer should have a great year at RB for Emporia. Isn't David Blazevic competing for QB at Olathe North?

Oh yeah...sorry David....he is at Olathe North this year.

SM East's HWT, Anthony Garrett should have a big year on the OL. He is 6'5 285 and is looking like he's in great shape for a big kid.

Doesn't my boy Duane Zlatnik from Rossville play fullback or tailback?

Either one, I wouldn't want to be on the other side of him!!
