C.J. Reavis has found plenty of college interest at Eastern Mississippi after being dismissed from Virginia Tech. Per his twitter account, a “monster” has been created, and he’s been playing like one. Reavis has 23 tackles, six pass break-ups and two interceptions, one that went for a touchdown. First to offer Reavis was West Virginia University, and last Wednesday, the Iowa State Cyclones extended an offer. The former Thomas Dale standout figures to continue to attract attention from more major programs before committing a third time.

What’s important here is that L.C. Bird played well through…

Two area defenses hope to be up to the task this year at L.C. Bird and Thomas Dale, and both are led by solid linebacker corps that – you guessed it – have great chemistry. L.C. BIRD Isaiah Moore walked onto the field for tryouts last year. As a young linebacker, he already knew he’d be behind then rising sophomore sensation Rayshard Ashby on…
