Finalist Tony Ellis Misses State Award
December 5, 2008
Flomaton’s Tony Ellis was a finalist to be Alabama’s 2A back of the year, but the award went to the quarterback from Leroy High School.
The Alabama Sportswriters Association named Leroy quarterback Clint Mosley as the 2A back of the year. Mosley passed for more than 3,000 yards and 33 touchdowns during the Bears’ perfect 14-0 season.
Ellis was named a finalist for the award, thanks to at least 1,500 rushing yards per year for each of the last three years at Flomaton. Ellis, who is 5-fo-9, had over 5,000 rushing yards in his high school career with the Canes. The other 2A finalist for the back of the year was wide receiver Madrecas Hood of Pickens County High School.
The sportswriters group will still pick one of the players from their statewide list as Mr. Football on December 18.
