Looks like an outstanding team. I do believe that Jamestic Gooden from Hayti is deserving to be mentioned with this team as well. I know you only pick 25 and these are 25 good players but so is Jamestic.
MCW NAME SHOULD HAVE BEEN ADDED TO LIST SOMEONE DOSEN'T KNOW TALENT ALSO IAN PERON.
Ian Penrod was an all-region honoree as a junior for East Prairie.
EP's Tony Jones was among the area's leading tacklers; and EP finished 3-7. Williams finished third in overall yardage behind Zweigart and McFerren. While Williams had 1,528 and more yards per game than Zweigart, Williams had 678 of those in two games (Portagveille and Caruthersville), while Zweigart (whose per-carry average was more than 1.6 yards higher than Williams) played in limited roles in several blowouts this season.
Covington led the area in scoring to go with his 1,413 combined rushing and receivng yards.
He also gave Class 1 Hayti 4 players on the list of 25 (along with Jones, Norris and Cooper). Gooden was No. 5 in the area in receiving yardage, getting his total on just 13 catches. He did also have more than 400 yards rushing.
I find it odd that only 1 QB in the area tops the 25, Ben Mills is more than deserving leading all area QB's in passing and TD's but surely there is another, Is the position dead in SE Missouri, I understand Jackson who has the meat up front to pound the ball but I doubt that is consistent everywhere else.
I believe Jones had some injury-related mobility issues late in the season as he didn't play defense and didn't move around much offensively in the quarterfinal loss to Thayer.
I don't know that the position is dead in Southeast Missouri, but other than Dexter and perhaps Cape Central, you didn't see that many teams adept at a consistent passing attack like you see around other places in Missouri (Union, Montgomery County, Farmington) that are running the passing version of the spread offense.
cape central QB should been on this list
just to let everyone no drew bucher had 14 sacks on the season not 9
Zweigart is a junior...just to let u know
It's clear from the cumulative number of tackles East Prairie claims that their stats are inflated.
The top five players alone made 20% more tackles than there were offensive plays ran against them.
Think you top 25 is very good probaly would not have made some of the same choices but would'nt changed much.
Williams has had some good honors so has Penrod, 1st team all-conference, 2nd team all-region & all-district, sophmore year, and all conference 1st team and 1st team all-region junior year, it amazing how he did not make all-distict but that's how coaches take care of their kids, shame EP did'nt have a head coach at the meeting, but coach jamerson done his best.
