It's 1 versus 2 in the Alabama 5-A Quarterfinals
The mantra is "Offense versus Defense" in the epic battle for advancement in the playoffs. (#1)Hueytown and top rated QB Jameis Winston will bring their high scoring act into Mobile to face CB/RB Kylen Towner and a stingy (#2)St. Paul's defense. This heavyweight bout will take place on Friday, November 18 at 7:00 pm in Mobile, AL.Hueytown is undefeated at 12-0 and St. Paul's is 11-1 with the lone lost to 6-A Fairhope. The winner of this game will be the unadulterated favorite to win the 5-A Championship.

| Towner leads a defense allowing 11 ppg |

3's A Crowd Equals Future Trouble For Florida State
Florida State has a luxury that any team in college football would envy and that luxury is recruiting well at the quarterback position. This same luxury may come back to haunt them in a year or two. Currently, they have Clint Trickett (the only FSU quarterback to attempt a pass besides E.J. Manuel) and Jacob Coker, the highly touted freshman from Mobile, Al. The Noles also have two more quarterbacks Ethan Gilbert and Will Secord on their roster and they are all Sophomores and under. Manuel, the starting quarterback is a junior.
Here's the kicker(no pun intended) the number one quarterback recruit in the nation Jameis Winston from Hueytown,Al is also committed to Flordia State. The question is not who will back up Manuel next year. The question is how long will it take for Trickett,Coker, or Winston to realize that three's a crowd and decide to take their talents elsewhere. I feel that it will not take long for someone to see the writing on the wall.Besides, there is only one football.
Will Winston make this conversation moot by reconsidering and making another coach the happiest man alive? Will the battle began in the spring? We will just have to stay tuned in for "As The Noles Turns".

My Fantasy Football Game 11/10/2011 - 11/14/2011
Team Mind Over Matter is gaining momentum in spite of a injury plagued line up consisting of Miles Austin(Dall- WR), Julio Jones(Atl- WR), and Aaron Hernandez(N.E.- TE). Each of these player have missed games due to injuries. I hope that everyone is healthy by playoff time (Week 15). Due to various injuries I am still last in my division, but I have won two games in a row!

RISING STAR : HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL ( KYLEN TOWNER)
The state of Alabama has produced excellent Division-1 talent for many years. In Mobile, Alabama at St. Paul's Episcopal another star is in the process of being made. Duel threat (DB/RB) junior Kylen Towner(# 1) is making electrifying plays on both sides of the ball.
Towner in only three games this season has already scored an offensive, defensive, and special teams touchdown. He has helped to lead the Saints to a 3-0 start and a top 10 ranking in the 5-A Division. The future looks very bright for this young man and maybe he'll follow former St. Paul's prep star Mark Barron and attend The University of Alabama.
