I have a vote in the WRS awards. I have said all along I would be transparent with my vote.

These are my finalists:

Offense 
 
Calvin Tyler Jr.   Silsbee 
Joel Denley        West Brook 
Roschon Johnson    PN-G 
Cayce Draper       Bridge City 
 
Defense 
 
Morris Joseph      WO-S 
Logan Lejune       PN-G 
Kary Vincent       PA Memorial
Reggie Boseman     Beaumont Central 

[Tyler Dixson]

I would have thought Bruce Newton would have made the cut. Those other 4 are no slouches though.

No defensive player for Silsbee was nominated to be voted on.

Who makes those nominations?

[wosfan1992]

Calvin Tyler and Kary Vincent should win. IMO

Yep and yep.   Tyler is a gimme and Vincent was easily the best defensive player at his position this year.  

And kudos to AAW for the Draper vote.  That kid was one of the most impressive players I saw this year.

Coach has to nominate

[WO-S 89]

In the article it said Jack Dallas not Cayce Draper.

That's what I figured. So either the Coach feels no one was worthy or just didn't do it.... i would at least at first think a Coach would nominate his best players on each side at the same time...but if he didn't feel he had a standout on one side......

Jack is a finalist. I posted how I voted.

Before I opened this thread I knew it would be a "but __________ from Silsbee should be on the list/win" kind of party. 

[wosfan1992]

Wouldn't be surprised if Morris Joseph was to win it, he had some tremendous stats for d-lineman. Over 150 tackles and at least 20 of those were TFL

You already know who I am partial to in this award but at the end of the day, I think that I want my brother to win the award more than he does. The award is great yes, but those college offers are so much better. Congrats to all kids involved. Oh and btw if Roschon doesn't win, give it to Tyler.

Those offers are stacking up!!!

I have very mixed feelings about this season. Having two of our INdians as finalist is an honor, I think Roschon will have more chances to win if not this year. My two candidates other than the INdian on offense is Jack Dallas and Calvin Tyler both amazing seasons. 

[WOSgrad]

All of the finalists on both side of the ball bring impressive resumes to the table.

Heart says JD and Mo.

Head says Calvin Tyler, Jr and Kary Vincent

[badndn]

Can someone post some stats for these young men? 

[Gabe]

So glad Vincent was added on. He was top defender in area

[MAYFIELD]

I think all are worthy of this honor.

Congratulations to all finalist.  A true honor, named after a great football coach.  Coach Smith and Coach Ozen had some major battles on the field, but both sent many Beaumont kids to the NFL.
