RUNNING BACKS

[playin2win]

Earnest Luna is a nice asset in the backfield he has great power and acceleration out of his stance. The throwing game for TGU did help Luna rack up some serious yards but i am not saying anythign against him he is a heck of an athlete.

[ND_Coach]

do you have any info on size or build??

I would guess about 5'8" 170. kind of lanky and muscular. Size wise he is nothing special, but he is one of those kids that has a motor that just keeps going, plays every snap like it is his last, even in practice. Great kid charecterwise as well, very coachable.

Who is going to be the best back in region 4

Now that he transfered Drake/Anamoose Brandon Martwick will be the best back in region 4

Philip Hoff from Wells County wasn't to bad, but he split time between RB and QB

knowing that region 4 is one of the weeker regions in the state could this Martwick make Drake/Anamoose a contender in this region? or isn't he that big of a play maker because they didnt compete last year. nothing against this kid but could knowing that tri-county is week and wondering if one player could make that big of a difference- not knowing how good he is???

I would figure him to get around 1500 yards, he was just short of 1000 last year but was not the starting running back untill 3 or 4 weeks into the season. And Milnor-North Sargent did not have a very good offensive line

Having him on offense and defense will make Tri-County better. As far as being a contender I do not know the Raiders or the region that well. I can tell you that Martwick is a legitimate player that would start somewhere on any team in the state

he would be a good asset even though he doesnt have a great talent but he has the willingness to win. At 6' 200 pounds he is a just wanting to play the sport that he loves alot. he only averageing 5.8 yards a carry with 169 carries. he needs to work on holding the ball cause he had a few fumbles that should not have come out. and he needs to work on handleing the pressure like in the first round playoff game against linton when he had 13 carries and only 33 yards.

brandon could help tri-county. he could be that person to show them how to win. Then all they need is a coach who some what knows what he is doing, and teach him how to hold the ball, then everything will fall into place.

He doesn't need to be taught how to hold on to the ball. He had 4 fumbles in 169 carries which is about what you would expect from a HS runningback.

Who is Tri-County's coach? what happened to the guy that took them to the semi-finals, he had a great year and then was gone?

[ndlionsfan]

I'm not 100% sure, but I think the coach that took them to the semi-finals was a student teacher or even a college student and probably got a full time job somewhere else. Their coach the past couple of seasons is now gone, too. Someone new will take over the program next year.

[nd_schwab]

The coach from 2005 went to texas to be a border patrolman. The coach the last 2 years left. They just signed an assistant coach who did the jv before hand.

[EHS1998]

Nathan Arnold, Ellendale, will have a great year at RB next year.

Thanks, too bad they could not hold onto him, him did a very good job.

[freshysoon]

i think best in state for running backs is evan grosz

and some like brandon martwick from tri county he had 1000 yds last year as a junior and being a back up for a couple games of the year

[footballdude]

Gross has my vote for best running back, but i think that if he's going to have any success he and the whole napoleon team better spend their entire summer in the weight room

[jtdc492]

Sam Hultberg and Grant Singer will make a great tandem in the backfield for Central McClean next year. Two of the hardest hitters on last years 8-2 team. There line is depleted with only one returning full time starter, Hefta, but the other lineman played every practice agaonst tough competion. They should be able to run the ball.

Central Mclean will have an underclassman, who came in after blowouts, I can't remember his name, but he was a fast, shifty runner that may turn into their feature back. I think Hultberg as fullback, this kid as HB and Singer as end. They may keep Singer up front because he is so stong and they will need some blockers and he would be a threat to catch the ball too. I don't see CM having much else this fall though.

Martwick is about 6'0 205 pounds and could add some

[andy_7]

Martwick is about 6'0 205 pounds and could add some

If he is this big why would they put him at running back when he would be one of the biggest kids on the team? Does anyone know if he can play anywhere else maybe like qb which they need way more than a running back?

[basketetballfreak23]

NO he cant play Qb if he moved position on offense it would be to full back but if you move him to line or somthing you waste the talent he has. It seriosly takes 2 or 3 guys somtimes to take him down. he also is a heck of a defesive player too

Definetly not a QB. He was going to be OL for Milnor/NS at the start of last season, but convinced the coaches to let him try RB, turned out it was a good decision. Even though he is big, why would give away a 1,000 yard back?

On defense he can be a DL or LB, probally a better DL though

no when you have a good running back you use him. Besides, line is more form and technique than anything.

[basketetballfreak23]

I agree

[NDSUbisonfan4723]

I agree. Martwick will be good but the rest of Tri County's team aren't anything to worry about.

[bisonfan07]

if every one likes evan gross for next year why all the talk about this brandon martwick kid. hes (brandon)not that great anyways. hes nothing to worry about. so all of you keeping talking about what you want but in the end it will all turn out how it is suppose to be. have a great year and have fun trying to decide who is the best cause its hard to know the best when there are so many who arent noticed that are better than gross and martwick.

I agree. Martwick will be good but the rest of Tri County's team aren't anything to worry about.

i said that martwick isnt that great i didnt say anything about team that he is on. the team could end up having a good year next year with or with out martwick. the team has all of there starters coming back except maybe 2. thats the same thing taht happened with harvey so who knows maybe they can become the next state champions.

[rep]

having an opinion is all good and fine, but in order for it to be considered anything more than just ripping on a player/team/etc. providing reasons backed with stats or observations is the way to go about posting a comparision or criticism.

just saying he is no good is essentially one of the first ways to appear to be an opposing player/town that wants nothing more than a forum to bring a player down and is a sure-fire way to no longer be posting here. user warned.

[basketball22]

So thats why he was allstate as a running back and he was allstate on defense. so yeah i think so too he wont help that team at all.. ha..

[bisonfan07]

martwick was only all state for offense not defense. there is just too much hype for one new player for a team that everyone thinks isnt going to be good. if you think hes going to have a great season than well i guess so will the team. so its either both or neither cause a good player would essentually make a bad team better. but also tri county was looking pretty good with out this kid. they already have a good running back what they need is a fullback. what is going to happen will be decided by there new coach what happens, happens.

[basketball22]

well everyone is saying he aint gonna help that team and yeah he might be a little over hyped but you are saying he aint gonna help the team look he aint gonna bring a bad influence or anthing he will bring a attitude yeah and your right about the defese he just made like all region as it sorry about that . I also think if you have to you can stick him at fullback too.

[freshysoon]

brandon martwick for one of um and then also evan gross from napolean even though brandon has a young team around him he should be good
