When Terrell Davis is your big brother, meeting the expectations he set as a player can seem a bit daunting.
The former Mount Douglas Rams running back won just about everything there was to win at the AAA high school football level.
But it hasnB次元官网网址檛 taken long for younger brother Marcus, two years TerrellB次元官网网址檚 junior, to find a way to make a mark of his own. Marcus was named B.C.B次元官网网址檚 AAA Player of the Year on Monday, the ultimate accolade for a high school player.
Marcus and the in the AAA semifinals on Saturday and are heading back to the AAA Subway Bowl.
B次元官网网址淯sually it goes to a senior but I guess I proved myself to the voters,B次元官网网址� said Davis, still just 16. B次元官网网址淚tB次元官网网址檚 pretty cool, and itB次元官网网址檚 hard to follow in (TerrellB次元官网网址檚) footsteps, but I think IB次元官网网址檝e one-upped him.B次元官网网址�
The award takes into account a playerB次元官网网址檚 all around game, and no one is as dynamic in all areas of the field as Davis.
B次元官网网址淎ccording to this yearB次元官网网址檚 statistics, one in every five times Marcus touches the football he scores a touchdown, which is nothing short of amazing,B次元官网网址� said Rams head coach Mark Townsend.
B次元官网网址淗eB次元官网网址檚 is our hybrid offensive player and is equally dangerous lining up either as a (wide) receiver or as running back, and is an outstanding kick returner.B次元官网网址�
Davis has returned a kick or punt for a touchdown five times. He plays cornerback on defence.
B次元官网网址淔or Marcus to win this award is a tremendous achievement, especially considering heB次元官网网址檚 only in Grade 11.B次元官网网址�
Davis canB次元官网网址檛 be recruited by the NCAA until next summer, but has already received a letter of interest from Penn State, hoping to draw his attention.
