Friday Night Lights 2009: October 12

If you know of an article that can help out, let me know. I’ll fill in the remaining game articles/stats as I find the articles. The 2010 commits will not be included in FNL (unless there is substantial demand for it), but I will include a junior season wrap at the end of this year. No info found yet for the Cass game, but I’ll update when I come across it. I assume Thomas Gordon did not play following last week’s shoulder injury.

If Jones’s stats seem kinda low, it’s partially because he hasn’t seen the second half in many of Cass Tech’s blowouts so far.

OH RB Fitzgerald Toussaint
This Week: Liberty v. Hubbard. Liberty wins 33-28.

But Liberty’s Fitzgerald Toussaint fumbled the ball into the end zone where Chase Myers recovered for the Eagles. It was Toussaint’s only mistake on a stellar night when he rushed for 250 yards on 33 carries.

But it opened the door for a rollicking finish that eventually saw the Leopards prevail, 33-28.

Toussaint should have had 1 more TD, but he was possessed by the spirit of Brandon Minor.

Season Totals: Liberty 8-0.

This Week: Rider v. Denton Guyer. Rider wins, 31-28. Beaver injures his non-throwing shoulder, will miss a few weeks.
Beaver was injured on a hit by Denton Guyer linebacker Blake Terry in the first quarter Thursday night in Denton. His shoulder was wrapped and he came back early in the second quarter and directed the Raiders’ 31-28 win over the Wildcats.

Keep in mind his passing stats would likely have been much better if he hadn’t been playing with a fairly severe injury.

Season Totals: Rider 2-3.

OH RB Fitzgerald Toussaint
This Week: Liberty v. Lakeview. Liberty wins 20-16.

Toussaint needed plenty of internal fortitude to handle the beating he took from a defense that sent every available body at him on each of his 32 carries. It wasn’t until he rushed for 64 yards on a scoring drive in the fourth quarter to give Liberty a 20-14 lead that he was in the flow that has targeted him as the best back in the area.

Another article, featuring a fun fact:

His first 16 carries went for 85 yards. His last 14 went for 165.

Obviously a slight discrepancy in total yardage. I’ll go with the more flattering one.
Side note: a grand jury chose not to indict his dad on a couple of the charges from the stabby guy incident.

Season Totals: Liberty 7-0.

“We knew that under pressure he would just throw it up,” said senior linebacker Jordan Barnes, who has committed to Michigan and who had an interception. “We knew we had to get off the edge and get some pressure on him so we did that tonight, and it obviously worked for us… We were coming off the edge really hard and were blitzing hard at him. He would roll out and just sometimes he would make good decisions and sometimes he wouldn’t.”

Barnes also forced a fumble, which his team recovered. This moment immortalized here, with photo credit giong to Chris Keller of the Journal-Gazette. Barnes is number 9 in white.
