Related, though, did Rigdon ever lose a game before this year? He might have the winning %age record. Wilder lost 3, so 61 wins of 64. Mitch Enright from Southlake Carroll is another candidate here, he went 15, 16, 16, 16, and only lost 2 I believe.
A think a lot of you might change your perspective if you went and watched Desoto vs Duncanville or a similar game live. 4.5 or laser 4.6 kids are a dime a dozen at that level. Rigdon is amazing in his own right, but the next level is insane.
They're playing with a ton more kids (280+ snapshot) than everyone in 2A they're playing right now, and several are transfers. I have no idea how they weren't 3A at the last reclassification.
Specific roster needs aside - if you went and asked the top 10 coaches in the state right now if they would rather have a prime TE or prime DM added to their team right now, which would get the most votes?
Someone said, are we talking best player or best team? I would ask, are we talking most talented or best player? NFL is an indicator of ceiling/talent, not 6 man career. It's hard to make a case against TE having the best 6 man career, both individually and as part of great teams.
