Well I’m not exactly sure about the underclassmen you have worked with and work with but I think many familiar with Brady Allen understand he is likely the exception.

 

i recall arguing with some fellow GS posters a few years ago when on came on here and said something along the lines of “Look for the name Brady Allen. I guarantee you he starts for Gibson Southern as a freshman” I recall arguing that there was no way Coach Hart starts a freshman QB when there are others who already know the system and will be upperclassmen. 

 None the less, when Brady got the nod (of which he had to battle an extra 3 weeks in the offseason to get that spot over Delong) it made the papers and news stations....since then the buzz has only grown after finishing the season with 2400 yards, 29 TDs vs 4 Ints along with 4 rushing TDs. 

I think you missed the boat on this one.  The GS folks I know and work with said it was a foregone conclusion when the Allen kid was in 8th grade that he would start as a frosh.  Heard he won the job a couple weeks after the first summer workouts started and was the guy all through 7on7 season.  That’s impressive! Most freshman only get the chance out of necessity of injury.  

The cool thing I heard was Coach Hart went to each senior to get their input before announcing his decision.  Apparently they all voted yes.  Have to make sure the whole locker room was behind the young QB knowing there was going to be early season setbacks. 

I just hope Colson is back out this year.  Love to see these 2 battle it out the next 2 years.

Colson Montgomery -Southridge

Southridge will be going to 31.  Wish we could stay in 32.  Still holding out hope that both HH and SR don’t go to 31.  Sullivan is the wildcard.

I was waiting for the SIAC angle to possibly come in.

T32...I would love to hear where you heard Southridge’s thoughts on this.  We are not hearing the same things.  Just a week or so ago you said this would never happen. You don’t have much credibility left.
