When are you going to start giving Jy Tolen more respect and acknowledge he is one of the best qb’s in the state. You have doubted Gilbert in almost every game this year.
Mr. Davis, not sure where you are getting your perception of how I feel about Tolen or Gilbert. I’ve picked them to win every game they’ve played this year except the Lexington game. So I don’t think that constitutes as doubt. And Jy was on the cover of our issue two weeks ago and was our MIdlands Offensive Player of the Week. Is that not respect? Now, as far as QB rankings go, I’ll be happy to discuss that with you anytime you’d like.
Ahmaad Bynem-Scott my little brother deserves more recognition no he don’t score as many touchdowns but he puts Lexington in positions where they can score the ball fairly easy and he runs the ball hard every single time his number is called I feel like he’s shrine Bowl material.
I’m not sure how much more recognition you want; he’s in our Friday Night Feats each week, he’s been on the cover of our weekly publication once this season AND he was just named in the Top Five position rankings in the Midlands at running back. So, what kind of recognition are you talking about that isn’t covered with those things?
