He was #2 in some services (to Josh Booty) and #1 in others. It's been so long, I don't remember which ranked him what. He was the Gatorade National POY, though.

Also, Maurice Staley was the #1 ranked WR according to at least one service that year. So we actually signed 2 #1 ranked WRs in the nation in the same class. Then Kyler, McCollough, and Hampton were all top 10-15.

That was the best WR class in UT history, in terms of recruiting rankings. It's a shame that Staley was dismissed from the team as a sophomore. He was going to be a star.

Maurice Staley played for the same West Charlotte that Faizon and Grimley beat in overtime last week IIRC. May have a rematch of those 2 teams in the state championship game this year. They were ranked #1 and #2 in the state last week for a reason.

I played for Harding HS in Charlotte. When we played West Charlotte my junior year we got beat 52-3. Their RB ran right through me like I was a little girl for a long TD. Was not a fun game. WC has been a powerhouse program in NC ball forever. Faizon played a very gutsy game to beat them in OT last week in Carolina Panthers stadium.

Edit: yep

That sucks. Hope he gets well soon. He has only ever lost 1 game in HS. It will kill him if they lose a bunch without him and cannot go get another state title this year. He already has 2 titles IIRC. Like to go out with a 3rd.

I doubt Grimsley will be losing any of their games regardless at this point of the season. They are always very good and ran thru everyone last year after week one in regular season

His team won one as a freshman but he wasn't the starter then.
They won it again his junior year. But they've been in the championship 3 straight times and without him I don't see them making it.

Too many good teams in NC
If they run into West Charlotte again or Hough they will get beaten without Faizon.
