Chris wasn't playing against freshmen. He was playing against kids age 15-18 (probably very few 15) just like normal high schoolers. And yes, he started as a freshman. Coach Clark, to my knowledge, has never let any other freshman play with the varsity team.

To my knowledge only 3 freshman have started at D-B in the past 30 years. Bobby Hill in 1980 (offered by Tennessee and Alabama but chose to pursue a track scholarship), Shane Pierson in 1991 (signed with North Carolina) and Chris. In this time period D-B has produced two NFL players and two others who were drafted or free agents in NFL camps (all of whom did not play varsity as freshmen) and IMO Chris has the best potential to be the best running back at D-B by his senior season since state hall of famer and NFL record holder Bob Cifers in 1939 and Cecil "The Big Chief" Puckett in 1945, both All-Southern (equivalent to Rivals 5 Stars today for the youngsters). Roll Tribe!

g.c. will get a special talent one day (maybe the namesake of this thread) that will let him break through eventually ... but, year to year, 2 rounds deep is about all the 'port will allow.

Sullivan South does better in the playoffs than DB. Of course DB flaked out and stopped playing South when they knew we would spank dat arse.

Stopped playing? Last game in 2006 when South had supposedly their best team in school history with an all-american QB, D-B won 44-0. Don't you mean that with the realignment for 2009 South won't be able to avoid D-B!

I graduated in '80. I think Bobby Hill was a few years after me. He11 of an athelete though. One of the fastest kids I've ever seen. In '76/77 (my freshmen year), Doug Riner started as a freshmen at, believe it or not, noseguard and dominated. I'll never forget the first day of practice that year. The coaches came and got him before it even got started. I believe most of us (mainly the freshmen linemen) were quite relieved. Doug was a BEAST and was one of those guys that knew only one speed.... WFO...

What do you guys think of Derek Steele (sp?) ?

I've seen DB play a few times, and he really stands out to me.

I would have loved to see Jamie Crawford at receiver. Good size, good speed and ankle breaking moves in the open field. But, he's going to play baseball. Which he is really good at, I might add.

Ishmael Lewis from Brentwood Academy has been playing varsity since 8th grade at defensive end and tackle. I think he was rated the the third best underclassmen in the state by Tennessee Football.
