High School Football

Well folks, this past Friday was the start of the high school football season. I was privileged to be at Tullahoma with Davey for the Tullahoma v Blackman game. From the start of the game it was all Blackman. Actually, it was all I'Tavius Mathers. This running back/kick returner for Blackman has skills like nothing I have seen before. He can break tackles, run like the wind, and just flat get at it when the ball is in his hands. Over four hundred general purpose yards and four touchdowns (two kick return touchdowns) on the night. This was just the first game of the season. I can only imagine what he might be like when he really gets going this season. As a junior, I am sure he has several scouts keeping an eye on him and I plan on talking with his coach to get some more information on this young man. Seeing this kind of performance on the first night of the season gets me very excited for what is to come. I truly look forward to seeing the talent that is out there in Middle Tennessee over the rest of the season.
