Dillon vs Chester(official state thread)

[Truefan]

We played the Best RB in the state last night in Pernell Maxwell. Kid benched 360 and squatted over 600 and ran a 10.9 100 m. Kid had 4,000 yds rushing in only 2 years. Averaged like 11 yds a carry this year.Don’t think I have ever seen anybody that big move that fast.

And yet Jackie Hayes 'HBC" for a North South team left him off the roster. Best back in the state you say....

The Cyclones feature three 1,000-yard rushers in senior running back Pha’Leak Brown (1,508), junior Stan Mills (1,098) and freshman quarterback Zan Dunham (1,000). They’ve combined for 48 touchdowns, and Dunham also has thrown for seven.

“There’s no question about it – Dillon/Chester is going to be a bloodbath,” Hayes said of what he expects to be a very physical matchup. “It’s going to be physical up front, and it’s going to be a good, old-timey football game, which is something I really enjoy.”

That one there? That’s the freshman? The 6-foot-2, 210-pound hulk (imposing even without pads) slinging the football around the field during this 7-on-7?

Yes. That one.

The first thing anyone notices about Dunham is his size and while that’s probably unfair and may never change, it’s because he has the build that a college freshman football player would love. Dunham’s physique is partly why his teammates immediately respected him, his presence in the huddle, his big arm and his willingness in using that God-given girth in the trenches.

“He’s not gonna do any finesse moves,” said senior offensive lineman Keith Boyd. “He’s just gonna try to run over you.”

Dunham has rushed for 1,000 yards on the dot in 14 games, and thrown for over 600. He’s tossed seven touchdown passes and nine interceptions, including a pick on a screen pass last week against Union County that brought out one of those patented Victor Floyd death stares.

But he also helped win at least one game this season with his arm, the Cyclones’ then-surprise victory over Rock Hill back in August.

Bearcats coach Bubba Pittman said his defense was set up to stop Chester’s vaunted rushing attack. That left Bearcat defensive backs in a number of one-on-one situations, with no safety help behind them. Dunham completed 11-of-19 passes, and accounted for both of the fourth quarter TDs that sealed the win for the Cyclones. The second of those was a 25-yard TD toss to Ja’Rel Hill in one of those one-on-one situations.

“He made some big throws in some big moments,” said Pittman. “Real impressed with his ability to read defenses.”

Dunham can improve hugely as a passer. He’s already a dominant runner with the football, a high percentage option in short yardage situations that finishes runs with exclamation points, not periods or question marks.

I'll go with Dillon. Just because of history. You wonder sometimes when a school hasn't been there in a long time if it is enough just to get there. And even though undefeated, nobody really seemed to give anybody them, or anybody else, a chance in the upstate as most folks had already given the trophy to Chapman by the middle of the year.

I'll take Chester!

Well.....as a Dillon Faithful.....my loyalities lye with them Nasty Cats. However, I'm expecting a tough extremely competitive matchup this afternoon. Should be a great one. I pray that everyone has safe travels too & from Willy Bee's....
