Coach Says: Every game Bucktail plays this year we will have the best athlete on the field. At times, the athletic ability will be comically better than the next closes athlete. I have coached him since he was 7 years old. He will likely finish his senior year with ANOTHER 1000 rushing yards and all-state recognition. Throwing for 1000 yards also is not out of the question. He would fit right in with some of the biggest programs in the state.
