There is one more Barksdale coming up. Gil is in 7th grade, and is as good, if not better than his brothers. Scored something like 25-28 (don't know the exact number) touchdowns for the comets 7th grade undefeated team.
All three are also really good lacrosse players as well
I've heard great things about the youngest Barksdale brother. I don't remember his first name, however. Could you please remind me?
It's good to know that the seventh graders were unbeaten. People tell me that the eighth graders were really talented, too. That means the pipeline will keep pumping good football players up through the program.
I'm really looking forward to seeing Tres and Drew Barksdale together on the 2011 Solon varsity. Tres could be first team all-Ohio if our quarterbacks can get the ball in his hands consistently.
What we saw from Drew toward the end of the season is just a sampling of what he can do. I saw every one of his freshman games and believe me, he's got as much talent as Tres. Put them on the field together and they will be fabulous.
Add Cory Stuart to the mix and you've got one of the top receiver corps in the state. I might be wrong on this but I believe Cory's 47 catches in 2010 broke Solon's single season reception record.
Go Comets!!
