Plano lost in the second round of the 5A playoffs, but Burkhead finishes the season 5th in the DFW area in rushing (1762 yds) and 2nd in scoring (35 TDs). He is taking his time choosing a college (with over 40 D1 offers) because he is insisting on getting a shot at RB at the next level...

Update: In 5A, both Cinco Ranch and The Woodlands were knocked out of the playoffs by the third round. Other 5A teams to watch are perennial white powerhouses Austin Westlake and Smithson Valley. Westlake is lead by Texas A&M recruit Ryan Swope (see the thread on him in this section). In...

Another team to watch: The Woodlands is another Houston suburb who is 9-1, ranked 10th in the state, and as been very impressive all season. Every starting player is white. The only exception is Daniel Lasco at RB, who is about 3/4 white. Players of note: Alex Tweedy (Sr WR) - Tweedy...

Texas A&M's Jordan Peterson has been MIA for most of the season. He was hurt early in the season and replaced by true freshman Trent Hunter (black), who has been playing well and has kept the starting job. Peterson has been used in nickel situations and special teams.

Cinco Ranch is the next team. They are in the same district as mighty Katy, a perennial contender for the 5A (largest classification in Texas) title. This year, Cinco Ranch (a Houston suburb) beat Katy for the district title and are 9-1 with their only loss to Southlake Carroll. Players of...

Too small? He is already over 200 lbs in high school. If he were to get into a D1 school with a good strength and conditioning program, he will easily add 10+ lbs of muscle his freshman year. He will more than likely improve his speed. Don't let that hold him back from pursuing a D1 scholarship.

Although Burnette should be protected under the 1st Amendment to say whatever he wants, as a practical matter, he would have been beaten to a pulp by the black UT players, if he was allowed to return. A lesson for all white players, the thought police are watching you.

In this thread, I am going to highlight the top high school teams and players in Texas going into the 2008 playoffs. Texas is known for its high quality high school football and there is a ton of talented white players to watch. The first team I am going to highlight is Friendswood...

Wow, I use Google to get information about various high school players that we follow here. Usually castefootball.us comes up when searching for these players, but I just googled a number of names and no castefootball entries came up.

No, you're wrong. 1968 was not run on a TARTAN (rubberized) track. It wasn't cinder either. The first non-cinder tracks were tar based, not rubber, a big difference. They were faster than the cinder tracks, but not on the same level as the rubber tracks created around 1980. As for my...

While I think that you have a point, quickness is more important in the college game with spread offenses and backs that operate in space. Pass catching is another important skill for college RBs. In the NFL, the power running game is alive and well. Most of the starting RBs are 220 lbs+...

Charlie, You're either ignorant or an idiot if you think that there is not a difference between running on a cinder track vs. a tartan track. The modern tartan track wasn't used until around 1980, not 1968. Tartan tracks create "bounce" which makes you run faster. Also, you use short...

Caparelli is the 18th leading rusher in the SWAC despite splitting carries (second leading rusher for TSU). http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/conferences/sortables?stat=rus h&sort=rushyds&season=2&year=2008&confId=31

Snelson continues to lead the Houston area with over 1,500 yds for the season. He has offers from Navy and all of the Ivy League schools. I found this article on him from a few weeks ago. http://hstexas.scout.com/2/797859.html

What do Lendale White, Jerome Bettis, Ron Dayne, and most other RBs in the NFL have in common? Size and speed that is slower than many linemen.Edited by: SteveB

Deer Park senior RB Travis Carter is having a great year. He is ranked in the top 5 in the Houston area in rushing yds per game (178 yd/game), has rushed 888 yds despite missing 2 games with injury, and has 13 TDs. The 5'-9", 180 lb RB is a 1 star recruit according to Scout.com and isn't...

Buerck is half black.

Charlie, you have to remember that 10 sec was only broken a handful of times prior to Carl Lewis. Here is an excerpt from a post that I posted a few months ago: IMO, Carl Lewis' dominance in the 100m in 1983-1984 started "arms race" (or "drug race") among black sprinters to be the next Carl...

Swope is getting on track after his early season injury. Last night, he rushed for 217 yds on 14 carries (15.5 yd/rush!) and 3 TDs in a big win for Westlake. He now has 1066 rushing yds for the season.Edited by: SteveB

Burkhead had a huge game last night, 33 rushes for 258 yds, 5 rec for 54 yds, 3 rushing TDs, and 1 receiving TD. That vaults him into the second leading rusher in the DFW area with 1327 yds and the area leader in scoring with 25 TDs for the season.Edited by: SteveB

Price Pinkerton is one of the top wide receivers in Oklahoma. He is 6'-1", 180 lbs, with 4.4 speed. Thank God for Youtube, because he isn't even listed on Rivals and is a 1 star on Scout. If you want to see his incredible moves and speed, check out his Youtube highlights: Price Pinkerton's...

Wow, what are the D1 recruiters waiting for? I can't find any measureables on him, but, wow, incredible production.

Another nice article on Sharp on ESPN.com this morning. They even compliment his speed. http://myespn.go.com/blogs/big12/0-3-127/Sharp-s-return-spar ks-Kansas-running-attack.html Sharp's return sparks Kansas running attack October 16, 2008 2:36 PM Posted by ESPN.com's Tim...
