Also, it's important to keep in mind that plenty of players will emerge in 2012 that made little to no impact on the league scene in previous seasons. I'm excited to find out who those players are. In the meantime, this list is mostly a compilation of the returning players who performed well last year.
Quarterbacks
1. Brad Strauss, Lawrence
2. Jordan Darling, SM East

*Much of the early word I've been hearing is that Mayo and Ross may be the two fastest players (in pads) in the league. Both of their highlight films attest to this as well.

I think people are really overlooking Elbert Johnson from Olathe North. He didn't get very much varsity playing time being behind Treshawn & Orange. But when he did, he made pretty big plays.
What?????????? did you really say Elbert Johnson, what about Venus
Southside baby
Venus doesn't have as much experience & when he did play on Friday nights he fumbled a few times. He's a hard runner too, he still has two more years to really get into his game.
I'm surprised a homer like you Eli has Moloney as honorable mention. I thought he showed a lot last year especially in the SME game. He's be in my top DBs list.
Homer? If anything I'm typically more critical of SM West to avoid that kind of label.
Maloney's a talented defensive back. But so are Strauss, McFarland, Dineen, Ross and Abdul. We'll see how it all plays out. It's not like it would surprise me if Maloney ended up as a First Teamer when all is said and done.
Venus Triplett will be the next Trevaughn Wrench. Elbert is a good back but Triplett is special. He will make your jaw drop with his footwork. Remember the kid was only a freshman last season at RB rich Olathe North. The fact that he even got on the field is amazing. I watched him score 7 TD'S in one game last season. If he has any blocking be prepared to be amazed. Good luck V Trip!!
Sorry. That should have been a separate comment. My bad.
