By Danetta Barker Editor A stellar season for Simons Middle School’s seventh grade football team ended with one player being named to the First Team All State. Derrick Goodman, who plays defensive end, received the award Nov. 1 at the MVP Awards ceremony held at Lexington Catholic School. Three other players, Tyler Carpenter, Quentin Humphries and Wilder Williams were given honorable mentions. Coach Marty Brandenburg said coaching the boys was fun for all involved. “I’ve coached for 17 years and this is the most fun I’ve ever had coaching,” Brandenburg said. “Coach Tyler Black our defensive coordinator can say the same thing.” The team had the attitude, hard working ethic and the will to win according to the coach. The boys will move on to eighth grade next year and a new coach. “It feels like part of your heart is ripped out ( when the team moves up),” Brandenburg said. “You never want to lose them.” |
