Well, sorry to burst the Jerod Askew bubble, but one door doesn't open without another closing...

Dominique Allen has officially "softened" his verbal, meaning he is basically on the table.


Entry Not allowed

Hopefully UT will offer a chance to get him some touches - but if he ends up being a bayou bengal, then it happens. Like mentioned before - you can't fault him. He's trying to look out for himself. I wouldn't neccesarilly write him off yet - but I wouldn't be surprised to see him go to LSU. I hope that he'll have a couple of big games soon and maybe convince the staff here to offer him some touches. The kid can run the ball (448 yards on 40 carries with 12 touchdowns. He hasn't played past halftime in any game.)

This link has a video and information about Dominique, and his cousin Marsalis Teague.

Agreed.

Dominique's had success his whole career, though - 4 year starter at RB. He's ran well against a Gavin Hardin-led JCM team. He's ran all over a traditionally stingy defense in Memphis Melrose. He's a player. I don't see him keeping up the 11 yards a carry through the playoffs, but it's still impressive. This week will be more revealing of him and Marsalis, though, as Henry County takes on No. 4 State Ranked AAAA team Brighton.

I think he's a great player. Come playoff time when he gets a full game in, I still think he'll have some great numbers. Just not 11 ypc good.

I think they actually play a good team this week.

Yeah, I agree with you. What I'm more interested in is what Teague will finish with in YPC. Right now he's at 20. It's a shame he's gonna get away - but in an interview with the Jackson Sun, he listed his top 5 - and the only team in there from Tennessee was Vandy.

And yes, as mentioned before, they play Brighton this week who is also undefeated. I think the HC should handle them fairly easily, though. Allen traditionally has his best game against them, though. We'll just see how it plays out.

Henry County beats #4 ranked Brighton 54-0. Brighton keyed in on Allen, stacking the box, and he didn't have a great game. Teague, on the other hand, had a field day.

Allen had 4 yards on 3 carries, with a touchdown. Teague was 7-13 for 102 yards and 3 touchdowns, including a "Jump-Pass" similar to Tebow. He also had 130 yards on the ground on 12 carries for 2 touchdowns.

Henry County took care of Munford 42-0 this week.

Allen had 138 yards on ten carries for 2 touchdowns.
Teague was 9 for 12 passing for 203 yards and 2 touchdowns. He also had 59 yards rushing on 9 carries for a touchdown.

I really hope this team makes it to state. What an epic showdown with Maryville that would be. I know HC would bring a gigantic crowd.

As do I. Many non-HC fans have called the team "special" and one that "only comes around every ten years or so." BUT, Henry County will have their hands full starting in the first round of the playoffs where they'll probably have to take on Kingsbury (Ole Miss Commit Gabriel Hunter's school). After that it'll be Memphis East/Fairley/Melrose - presuming they keep winning, then it's most like Hillsboro who'll be led by Eric Gordon. It's shaping up to be a great November of HS Football.

I live in the neighbor county to Henry. Went up and watched Allen a couple of times, this guy is the real deal. But, I watched Chris Donald at Hunington 4-5 times and thought he was the real deal. HC plays a tougher group of teams than Hunington does, but Allen looks like a man among boys out there, same way Donald did.

I hope we are able to hang on to this guy, going to be a good football player.

BTW, Teague is a special player to. All the talk at the game had him going to Miami.

According to Rivals:

Staying with fullbacks, LSU could be close to pulling in a commitment from Dominique Allen of Paris (Tenn.) Henry County. Allen, the nation's No. 5 fullback, had been a Tennessee commitment, but he took an official visit to Baton Rouge this past weekend.

Hope we can keep him...
