Abu Sama named Gatorade Iowa Player of the Year

[isucy86]

The track was really fast yesterday. PRs all over the place. The Thompson kid from CRW (committed to TTech - football) is going to give Sama all he wants in the 100 and 200.

The Loveless kid from ICW has some serious wheels. He should give Thompson a run in the 200.

ICW won the 4x200 this morning by 1 sec, Loveless has some burst. Agree with other poster about Thompson in the 4x100, he might have 3 gears.

LoL. The “other poster” was me…the same poster you quoted here.

It is strange. Northern Illinois makes sense, considering he’s from CR. Perhaps there is some kind of personal connection TTech.

TTech says he chose them over NIU and Iowa, but I don’t think Iowa actually offered.

I don’t think Tech offered either. He’s a PWO

Sama is pushing 2 bills these days. He’s a Mack truck. Stacked.

Yeah that is what it looked like to me when watching that long jump video. Guessing he is 20+ lbs heavier than Thompson.

I can’t wait to see Abu go airborne over the hoks from ten yards out to score.

Running track and a PWO in football

Sama ran 10.96 and 21.76 in his prelims yesterday.

Thompson (CR Wash) ran 10.58 and 21.45.

Holy crap that's getting close to Olympic time at 10.58.

FYI, there's now a state track thread in the off-topic forum. Hopefully keep from cluttering up this Sama thread.

Two of them in this class. So awesome.

The Minnesota kid? I'm intrigued by him, too. Our own version of Thunder and Lightning?

 

[CyValley]

I am hoping that the coaching staff brings a flanker position back to use his talents. JJ Moses had some great games by getting to the edge on sweeps and reverses.

My all-time fave offense is the Wing-T. Can today's offenses sorta use a wingback-type of play, counters, and such?

If we want to. Nobody wants to power block anymore though.

Good luck getting any players. Ernst Brun told my kid once that that offense is the second boringest offense to run behind the triple option.

You put our defense on it and it would be shut down left and right.

His arms are similar to mine....somewhat similar that is.

Mine too. They both connect at the shoulder, bend at the elbow and have a hand/wrist combo at the end. That’s about where the similarities end.

The Wing-T would eat up our defense.

The Wing-T would eat up our defense.

Running a 3 man front against it would be stupid.

By similar you mean one on each side of the torso?

Me Too! I mean I have two arms, also.
