****2007 WILLIE RAY SMITH FINALISTS/WINNERS ANNOUNCED TONIGHT****

[Guest Kelly Football]

I'll say Thomas and Bell.

[82 5A State Champs]

My picks would be Hussey for offense and Thomas for defense.

I second that vote. I think those two are your winners.

[WOS95]

i think the willie ray smith award is a very prestigious award.  i think all the finalists are very deserving of the honor they received.  i do believe, however, that dravanti johnson should have been nominated.

[WTB]

he wasnt even thought to be the best DE in the district by the coaches who watch film and play against him every week and some of yall think he should be nominated as one of the top 4 Defensive players in the area? you guys dont know much about football do yall.....

[AJ25]

No DJ????? Let's see he made the All Army American team and no nominations for Willie Ray???? What a joke.

how about what a joke for him gettin army american team?

Your a joke!!! He should have been nominated!!!

is that kindergarden comeback? i'm sure you can do better than that?

[ozensfinest]

My picks would be Hussey for offense and Thomas for defense.

agree 10ints on any level of football is pretty darn good

[westend1]

Why Hussey?  Rhodes had more yards on fewer carries, more TD's, and even threw in some returns.

[KFDM COOP]

Going to be close!

[Guest BIG HOUSE]

Where do you get tickets and how much are they for the banquet ?

[KFDM COOP]

You can get tickets at the door at the night of the event. Still waiting on the exact date.

[playdefense]

The fact that Tramain has been nominated twice in a row on offense should count for something.  What is really nice is the fact that he is a great player and a great young man.  Good luck to all

[KFDM COOP]

The Awards will be Wednesday March 5th.

[Guest Nederland Bandit]

No local Willie Ray Nomination for DJ but he will be on the Parade All American team that will be announced soon, makes alot of sense doesn't it!!!!!!!!!!

[Guest BIG HOUSE]

Not to knock D.Johnson,but what did he do THIS YEAR to be nominated?  (NOTHING)............

Good luck to DJ at Texas....That it self is a great accomplishment....Good luck young man..

[KFDM COOP]

Predictions on who wins?

[NedDog]

I'd say Thomas on Defense, and I'm torn between Rhodes & Hussey on Offense. 

[Guest Nederland Bulldogs]

Thomas>Defense

Hussey>Offense

[smp83]

I'm glad I'm not the one who has to decide the winners.

[KFDM COOP]

;D

[Gabe]

I won't say who I voted for to win it but I will say it really was not hard for me to vote this year. A player stood out to me on defense and another stood out on offense all season long.

[Bucof2010]

To me it seems that T. Thomas is the main candidate at getting it on defense. Any1 agree?

[sportsfan82]

I agree with you 100%

[setexan]

Thomas is a great athlete and good defensive player but playing teams like Deweyville and Kountze just doesnt cut it for me.The level of competition is too low.

[ozensfinest]

11ints in one season that is simply amazing i wouldnt care what level of football your playing on

I agree with you Texan;  nobody from 2A OR 3A should ever win any awards! : ;D
