Poole hands down is our most versatile and valuable player. While everyone may have seen Quinerly and Johnson in the spotlight on state final Saturday Marquise Poole made a lot of plays that people overlooked.
Kicking he was 5-6 on xp which many felt was a weakness coming in, but we made the adjustments like I stated moving Quinerly to LS, Johnson to holder, and Poole kicking and the only miss was after the long Johnson td run when he got hurt and we changed the LS up.
Punting- Had two very good punts to pin Salem deep in their territory to make them drive the field.
Defense- The most disciplined player on our defense Salem rarely got outside of him all night and when they ran lead to his side he stood Ramsey up and did a good job keeping his outside contain. I can only remember 1 instance where he got caught inside, and he made a nice play on the sack on Salem's first possession to end it.
Offensive- He is the best running back on the team, but with Palmer stepping up and having a great year carrying the load the second half of the season we took him off offense and limited his chances of being hit. It was said all week if Salem takes away the running game and the other backs are ineffective then he would get more carries. He won the LC Bird game running hard against Bird and breaking a bunch of tackles.
Like it was said above Poole is the MVP of LT...Quietly
