With over 2,400 votes Rees MacShara wins the LEX18 Raising Canes 2009 Player of the Year. Macshara had an unbelievable senior campaign with 3,073 yards on the ground and 43 touchdowns. Macshara is as tough as running backs come and he has the uncanny ability to see the field. He is a bright kid with a very bright future in front of him.
Rees was a front runner for Mr. Football but fell just short in the voting. Currently Rees is undecided about college but wants to keep on playing football. Rees finished with 2,376 votes out of 4,854. Dominique Hayden was second with 1,585 votes. Lamar Dawson for Boyle County was third with 386. Bryan Station's Tevin McCaden finished with 275. Lafayette's Eric Shaw Jr. was in fifth place with 232 votes.

His highschool won the Kentucky State 4A championship....

[GahLee]

I was wondering where he played...you must know him personally.

[Fullfillmer]

With those stats, no doubt he is a nice player. I don't know how fast he is but I did check and see that he is a 1 star from Kentucky.
At 5'10" 180 he would be a little small for SEC football. I don't know who is recruiting him but that can be very telling as well. If he does not have other top 25 or top tier teams offering him then I doubt we would be considering him. There is the walk-on option, etc. I am guessing that he will end up playing at a smaller school and wish him great success where ever he lands.

[GahLee]

He looked small from the photo...if you are 180 lb running back, you better be fast or you will get killed in the SEC.

[Brave Volunteer]

Yeah maybe somebody like UTC could get him. He's a little small to be a RB in the SEC. Does he play D as well? Maybe he could be used as a safety.

[JManVolFan]

Pls. dont let Kentucky grab him and show us just why o why did we pass on him!?!?

[Special Ed]

Why'd you stop wishing?

[allvolinky]

Yeah he goes to school with my daughters at Boyle Co High School....same school Jacob Tamme went to....Remember him he now plays for the Colts....This kid may not be big, but he can read the field better than any back I have seen. He will make some school pay for passing him by (count on it)...Louisville has started showing some interest in him...He will be another Cobb...mark it down....

[allvolinky]

Or better than Randall Cobb....

[GERALD JONES 4 HEISMAN]

I will have to say that I watched Cobb in high school and never thought he would be that great at the next level, have to say Im wrong. I would take him tomorrow if he wanted to come to UT..,IMO...i agree with posts before mine though 180 is very little for SEC (especially RB) his body couldnt take being an every down back like a Hardesty. Sounds like a nice fit for Cumberland College.

[allvolinky]

Not sure about that....He went up against some big guys....Lexington Catholic...Lone Oak academy....Bell County....big time players he handle with ease....check out his stats in each game....I would like someone to pick him up besides Kentucky...Kentucky will start showing interest in him now that Louisville is talking with him....He is smart player....(very smart).....You don't have to be big, just able to read the field good and fast....

I see. He's your son.

Just found this on him. Says he's 5'10" and only 165 though. Best forty 4.54.

Wrong sport...I don't even know the kids parents....My cousin is one of the assistants on the team, And I have just followed his success throughout his high school career....I would just like to continue following him with a team I love than to see someone other school get a steal (aka Kentucky)....
