FOR THE MESSENGER-INQUIRER

Players with aspirations of competing at the highest level of football must be dominant at the current level in which they play, and Daviess County wide receiver Marquel Tinsley is certainly doing that. A 6-foot-3, 205-pound junior wide receiver, Tinsley caught 57 passes for 1,294 yards and 20 touchdowns in nine regular-season games this

fall to help the Panthers win the City-County championship — and establish himself as the 2017 Messenger-Inquirer Area Offensive Player of the Year. “It’s been a fun season because ever ybody played as a team, believing in themselves and their teammates,” said Tinsley, who averaged a staggering 143.8 receiving yards per game. “We established a lot of team chemistry the second half of the season, and that made all the difference in the world.” Tinsley burst on the scene last season as a sophomore, SEE TINSLEY/PAGE D3

Carwile a dominant defensive force for DC Defensive end set school records in tackles, sacks BY JIM PICKENS

FOR THE MESSENGER-INQUIRER

Three games into his senior season, Daviess County High School defensive end Shae Carwile was playing solid football, but there was little to show for it from a team perspective — the Panthers standing at 0-3. But then Carwile set a single-game school record with 23 tackles in a 63-28 victory over Hancock County on Sept. 8, before topping that just

a week later with 24 stops in DC’s 33-27 conquest of rival Owensboro. Suddenly, the Panthers were off and running, and Car wile never stopped being a dominant force on his way to being selected as the 2017 Messenger-Inquirer Area Defensive Player of the Year. “It became a ver y productive and fun season, both for myself and the team,” said the 6-foot-2, 215-pound Carwile. “I think after that Hancock County game, I realized what I might be able to accomplish and it motivated me to SEE CARWILE/PAGE D3

HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL: MESSENGER-INQUIRER ALL-AREA COACH OF THE YEAR

Crume’s interim year led to breakthrough at Apollo Coach credits staff, ‘great bunch of kids’ for Eagles’ turnaround en route to 7-3 regular season BY JIM PICKENS

FOR THE MESSENGER-INQUIRER

On paper, there was little reason to believe that the 2017 high school football season for Apollo would be any different than the previous seven, which produced losing sea-

sons, vir tually no momentum and ver y little optimism — but veteran head coach Dan Crume had a different take on things. “Despite our record, we felt like we were on the cusp of breaking through the past couple of seasons,”

Crume said. “We felt like we were moving the program in the right direction, even if we didn’t have the wins to show for it.” Crume’s hunch proved prophetic. The Eagles turned the losing culture of their recent past on its head this past fall — winning seven of 10 regular-season games, posting victories over Owensboro and Owensboro

Catholic and earning a home playoff game in Class 5-A; the combination of which led his peers to select Cr ume as the 2017 MessengerInquirer Area Coach of the Year. “The turnaround of our football team isn’t about me,” Crume said. “It’s about a great coaching staff and SEE CRUME/PAGE D3

HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL: MESSENGER-INQUIRER ALL-AREA FIRST TEAM

OFFENSE

QUARTERBACK JOEY CAMBRON

DAVIESS COUNTY • 6-0, 170, JR. Cambron was stellar in his first year as Daviess County’s starting quarterback. With plenty of zip on the football, he hit 174-of-317 passes for 3,279 yards and 43 touchdowns in the regular season, while throwing only nine interceptions. Better yet, Cambron still hasn’t reached his full potential, Daviess County coach Matt Brannon said. “He is poised in games no matter the situation,” Brannon said. “If he makes a bad throw or a wrong read, he goes right to the next play and is not shaken.”

RUNNING BACKS NOAH BALDWIN

MCLEAN COUNTY • 5-8, 150, JR. Going into the season, McLean County coach Zach Wagner was well aware of Baldwin’s strength, despite his size, calling him one of the strongest players on the team, pound for pound. The junior, who medaled in the state weightlifting competition, lived up to those expectations. Baldwin carried 165 times for 896 yards, averaging 5.4 yards per carry. “He’s not your prototypical fullback,”Wagner said, “but he was able to hit the hole quickly and did not go down from arm tackles. He was able to get tough yardage for us in between the tackles.”

GAGE GRAY

HANCOCK COUNTY • 5-10, 190, SR. The thing that stands out about Gray when watching him run is just how tough he is to bring down. He runs low and keeps his legs moving constantly. Those attributes helped Gray lead the area in rushing average at 98.4 yards a game in eight games played. Overall, Gray carried 112 times for 787 yards and seven touchdowns. “When he had the ball in his hands he ran hard and was effective,” Hancock County coach Bobby Eubanks said.

MARIANO MCKENZIE

APOLLO • 5-10, 170, JR. McKenzie ran for 900 yards on 158 attempts, a 5.7-yards-per-carry average, and scored seven touchdowns. He picked up the pace as the season went along once he got used to being the featured back for the Eagles. “With his lack of varsity experience early, he was kind of feeling his way for awhile,” Apollo coach Dan Crume said. “He got more confidence as he went along, and his vision really improved later in the season.”

LINEMEN

LOGAN CONWAY

MUHLENBERG COUNTY • 5-11, 295, SR. “Logan has been a steady force for us on the line since his sophomore year,” Muhlenberg County coach Hays Browning said. “He has been responsible for making our line calls for the last two years, even when he was playing the guard position. Logan is strong in the weight room and combines that with good fundamental technique to get the job done in the trenches.”

AUSTIN COOMES

OWENSBORO HIGH SCHOOL • 5-10, 250, SR. “What he lacks in size, he makes up for with intelligence, film study, hard work and old-fashioned toughness,” Owensboro High School coach Jay Fallin said. Coomes helped lead a big offensive line that allowed OHS to have three players with at least 497 yards gained on the ground. Owensboro finished with 2,766 yards on the ground. “Coaches put a premium on reliability for good reason, and Austin is as reliable a lineman as we’ve had in many years,” Fallin said.

CAMERON DUVALL DAVIESS COUNTY • 5-11, 195, JR. “Consistently each week, Cameron is the smallest offensive lineman on the field, and usually the best,” Daviess County coach Matt Brannon said. “He is the most technically sound offensive lineman that I have coached in 18 years. He plays with great leverage, he uses his hands and feet to gain control of defenders. He loves contact, and he can run.”

JORDAN PUCKETT

OWENSBORO CATHOLIC • 6-3, 280, JR. “Jordan Puckett became a great offensive lineman for us this year,” Catholic coach John Edge said. “He continued to work on his footwork and technique daily. ... He got better each day. Jordan’s impact on the offensive line this year was huge. He was a big reason our run game got clicking. The good thing is Jordan has another year to continue his progress.”

CAMERON WHITE

HANCOCK COUNTY • 6-2, 265, SR. White played both offense and defense — and he was the best lineman on the team, no matter which side of the line of scrimmage he lined up on. “He has a motor that won’t quit and moves extremely well for a guy his size,” Hancock County coach Bobby Eubanks said. “Cameron is as solid as any linemen I have ever coached and was a huge contributor on both sides of the ball. He has an unbelievable work ethic and that will bode well for him in the future.”

RECEIVERS PEYTON PETERS

APOLLO • 6-2, 175, SR. Peters was a threat to score nearly every time he touched the football. He scored 17 touchdowns — 10 receiving, five rushing and two on special teams. Peters made 48 catches for 724 yards. “He’s a really good route runner, he runs sharp routes,” Apollo coach Dan Crume said. “The thing that gets a little lost, once he catches the ball he’s elusive in the open field. When he catches the ball, he makes people miss, he can make people tackle open air.” A broken collarbone in the ninth game ended Peters’ season.

MARQUEL TINSLEY DAVIESS COUNTY • 6-3, 205, JR. “Marquel is by far the best wide receiver in western Kentucky and one of the top receivers in the state,” DC coach Matt Brannon said. “He has statistically led the state as both a sophomore and junior in yards, yards per game and touchdowns.” He was outstanding this year, with 1,294 yards and 20 touchdowns on 57 catches in nine games. “He rarely drops a pass, and when he does catch it, it takes three or four defenders to get him to the ground. He puts up great numbers despite being double- and sometimes triple-teamed. His ability to produce also opened up opportunities for his teammates to be successful,” Brannon said.

DEFENSE

LINEMEN SHAE CARWILE

DAVIESS COUNTY • 6-2, 215, SR. All Carwile has done since joining Daviess County’s football team is broken school records. He’s broken single season and career records for tackles, tackles for loss and sacks. He had 138 tackles, 23 tackles for loss and 10 sacks this season. “He plays with great leverage and speed and is a nightmare for offensive linemen,” Panthers coach Matt Brannon said. “I have never seen him not play or practice at 100-percent effort. He is the leader of this team.”

DIAMOND GLOVER

OWENSBORO • 5-10, 261, JR. Glover was a monster in the trenches all year. He had eight sacks, 13 tackles for loss and 40 tackles this season for the Red Devils. “Diamond is as good a defensive lineman as I’ve had the pleasure to coach,” OHS coach Jay Fallin said. “He’s very, very strong, he’s very quick for his strength, and he also is very knowledgeable about football. He’s got all three of those things going for him, and that makes him devastating for opposing offenses.”

QUENTIN MILLER

APOLLO • 6-0, 232, JR. Miller was the top player on Apollo’s defensive front this season. He finished with 52 tackles, tied for fifth on the team, in only seven games. Miller also had a small role in the offense — one rushing touchdown and one 2-point conversion. “Quentin plays with great passion and a tremendous motor,” Eagles’ coach Dan Crume said. “He does an excellent job of using his hands, finding the ball and relentlessly pursuing the ball.”

NOAH TODD

OWENSBORO CATHOLIC • 6-3, 230, JR. Todd is a big, strong and fast defensive lineman who was the best pass rusher for Catholic this season. He racked up 11 sacks, 44 tackles, three forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries, a safety and a fumble return for a touchdown. Catholic coach John Edge said Todd is one of the best defensive linemen he’s ever coached and that he’s only getting better. “He will continue to improve because he loves the weight room,” Edge said.

LINEBACKERS NICK BLAIR

OWENSBORO CATHOLIC • 6-2, 205, SR. Blair was one of two 100-plus tacklers on Catholic’s defense this season. He compiled 112 tackles and four fumble recoveries for the Aces. Catholic coach John Edge described Blair as a smart, quick linebacker who makes plays on the field. He was also a great leader on the field for an Aces’ defense that held four opponents under 10 points late in the season. “When he was a sophomore, I knew he was going to be a special player,” Edge said.

GATLIN HUMPHREY

APOLLO • 6-2, 237, SR. Humphrey was a key contributor on Apollo’s defense, which allowed 28.4 points per game this season. He tied for second on the team with 79 tackles and two interceptions. Apollo coach Dan Crume praised Humphrey’s understanding of football. “He did an outstanding job of getting our defense in the correct front and coverage,” Crume said. “He has excellent strength and power, which allows him to have a big impact in the middle of our defense.”

DAELIN KENNEDY

APOLLO • 6-1, 190, JR. Kennedy improved for Apollo’s defense as the season progressed. He finished the year tied for second on the team with 79 tackles and one interception. “He has an excellent understanding with how the defensive fits should occur and where he should make that fit,” Apollo coach Dan Crume said. “He did an outstanding job of getting to the football and making plays.” Kennedy is expected to be the main leader on the Eagles’ defense next season.

JOSH SLOAN

OWENSBORO CATHOLIC • 5-10, 185, SR. Sloan was the other half of Catholic’s dominant linebacking core and their leading tackler. Playing larger than what his size may show, Sloan was a key leader on the Aces’ defense. He had an all-area-leading 150 tackles and two fumble recoveries for the Aces. “He has a heart of a lion and meaner than a rattlesnake,” Catholic coach John Edge said. “Never missed a day of workouts or practice. He will be a great addition to a college football team somewhere.”

BACKS

BLAKE BAKER

DAVIESS COUNTY • 5-7, 170, JR. Baker had a team-high five interceptions, with 75 tackles and two fumble recoveries. He also made an impact on special teams for the Panthers with a punt return for a touchdown and a blocked field goal. “Blake Baker is one of the most dynamic and versatile athletes that I have ever coached,” DC coach Matt Brannon said. “He is by far our best open-field tackler, and with his speed, we are confident that not many players can break away from our defense.”

GAGE HAYDEN

APOLLO • 5-10, 155, JR. Hayden found the end zone twice on defense — interception return and fumble recovery. In total, he had three interceptions, two fumble recoveries and 62 tackles for Apollo. “Gage was by far our best cover guy,” Eagles’ coach Dan Crume said. “He improved tremendously with his technique, which allowed him to play with confidence against guys that may be bigger or faster than him. He has a knack for the ball, which resulted in him scoring two defensive touchdowns.”

TANNER SINGLETON HANCOCK COUNTY • 5-9, 165, SR. Singleton tied for a team-high five interceptions this season. He also had 34 tackles and two fumble recoveries for the Hornets. Offensively, he led the team with 11 rushing touchdowns and added two receiving touchdowns. “He has tremendous ball skills and produced over 1,500 all purpose yards,” Hancock County coach Bobby Eubanks said. “He led by example and developed himself into a great leader on our team through his consistency and dedication.”

SPECIAL TEAMS

PLAYER OF THE YEAR TYLER BEALS

MCLEAN COUNTY • 5-9, 130, SR. Beals was a danger to any team that decided to kick him the ball. He returned eight kickoffs for 352 yards. Two of those kickoff returns were for touchdowns, including a school record 99-yard scamper. “Tyler could hit a seam in the kickoff coverage full speed with no fear,” McLean County coach Zach Wagner said. Beals also converted seven 2-point conversions on the season. “We had a unique gimmick sweep that worked well with Tyler’s quickness,”Wagner said.

KICKER WES KNOTT

APOLLO • 6-2, 165, JR. Knott played a huge role for the Eagles this season and proved to be a reliable kicker in clutch moments. He made 25 extra points and four field goals, including a game-winning 18-yard field goal as time expired to defeat Graves County, 38-35, midway through the year. “He gave the team an opportunity to put points on the board,” Apollo coach Dan Crume said. “He was clutch under pressure with three of his field goals being game winners or game changers.”

PUNTER

SAM HARRINGTON

OWENSBORO CATHOLIC • 6-2, 175, JR. Harrington averaged 40 yards per punt this season for the Aces. The junior served as both the punter and kicker for Catholic. He made 35 extra points and one field goal as a kicker. “Very talented athlete that can play defense and offense,” Catholic coach John Edge said about Harrington. “Makes a lot of things happen in the special teams with onside kicks. His punting has improved a lot this past year.”

NEWCOMER OF THE YEAR JOEY CAMBRON

DAVIESS COUNTY • 6-0, 170, JR. Cambron made the most of his first season as starting quarterback for the Panthers. He showed off his strong arm and quick release by throwing for 3,279 yards and 43 touchdowns. Cambron threw at least three touchdown passes each game. “He has matured and grown as a leader and still has yet to reach his potential,” DC coach Matt Brannon said. “I know that he will continue to work on his craft in the offseason and has the potential to put up recordbreaking numbers for the state of Kentucky.”

at Apollo, with plans of abandoning his position as football head coach — but that soon changed, and Crume agreed to stay on as interim coach for 2017. “I had discussions with (Apollo principal) Rick Lasley, and we finally agreed that it was probably too late in the process to hire the coach the program needed — that it would be rushing things to fill the position,” Crume recalled. “So, I decided to stay on in an interim role for one more season.” It was a decision that wound up paying huge dividends. “We felt all along that this year we had the potential to be successful,” Cr ume said. “The staff and the kids came in focused every day, committed to doing what needed to be done to

finishing with 73 receptions for 1,368 yards and 21 TDs in 11 total games, but he believes he took strides in becoming a more complete player this fall. “I think I’ve become a better routerunner, and I’ve worked hard to become a better player without the ball,” Tinsley said. “I also put more focus on becoming more of a team leader.” Tinsley has also had a blast receiving the pigskin from his brother, junior quarterback Joey Cambron, who led the area with 328.9 yards passing and 43 touchdowns through the air. “That’s been a whole lot of fun,” Tinsley said of the family connection. “He’s a tremendous football player who was prepared to take over and run the offense this season. He’s had a great year. “We’ve been playing football together in one form or fashion since second grade, and we just have a natural chemistry between us on the field and off the field. It’s fun at the house, because there’s always something to celebrate.” Daviess County head coach Matt Brannon, meanwhile, has been celebrating Tinsley’s ability for two years running. “We knew he was a special player last year when he put up those big numbers with (former quarterback) Adam Bouchard,” Brannon said. “And then this year, we knew he and Joey have a special bond, so we were expecting, and received, big seasons from both of them.” And, Brannon says, Tinsley’s presence opened up options for Cambron and the rest of the Panthers. “Marquel has a lot going for him — size, speed, the ability to run great routes — and the opposition is forced to pay a lot of attention to him every time we play,” Brannon said. “He draws so much attention, it loosens things up for our other players in our offense, and they’ve stepped up with big seasons, too. “It’s nice to look out there and know you have a player like Marquel you can go to when you absolutely need a play to be made — a guy who is looking for the ball on every play. He’s an unselfish player, but he’s also a tremendous playmaker

Now, with a season of high school football to go, Tinsley will focus more and more of his attention on a potential college choice. “I want to play football at the (FBS) level, for sure,” said Tinsley, a two-way standout who also made 32 tackles and intercepted two passes from his cornerback-safety slots on defense. “And, the ultimate goal would be to play in the NFL. “I know I’ve still got a lot to work on to make those things happen, but those are my goals, and that’s what will be driving me to get stronger, faster and improve my hands.” Brannon believes his stellar wideout should not be counted out, no matter how lofty the goals. “Marquel has a lot of things going for him,” Brannon said. “He’s a hard worker, he doesn’t allow himself to become satisfied, and he has an inner drive to take it the next level, and perhaps beyond. “He’s a talented, gifted young man who is going to give it everything he has to succeed at whatever he chooses to do. “I’m completely convinced that his best days on the football field are in front of him.”

d o b e t t e r. O u r e n t i r e d e f e n s e got motivated not too long after that, and we were able to finish the season in a strong way.” Speaking of strength, Carwile is the strongest player on the team — and it’s no accident, according to Panthers head coach Matt Brannon. “He’s the hardest-working kid in our weight room,” Brannon said. “That work ethic has really paid off for Shae, and it has spilled over to the rest of our team, as well. He’s set a tremendous example that many of his fellow players have wanted to emulate.” Few in all of western Kentucky, however, could emulate Car wile’s 10-game regular-season statistics, as he set singleseason school records with 138 tackles and 10 quarterback sacks, as well as a career record for sacks (17). He added an interception and a fumble recovery, while also catching five passes for 126 yards and a touchdown from his tight end slot on offense. “I play with a lot of passion, a lot of emotion,” Carwile said. “I’m one of those guys who believes I need to make a big play to get the defense motivated. I lead by the way I play the game — I’m not much of a talker.” Until, that is, one of his teammates isn’t carrying his weight. “If I see a player miss an assignment or not play with complete effort, I’ll tell them they need to get with it,” Carwile said. “I’ll tell them they need to get their head on straight and help our team win the football game.” Brannon laughed. “Shae’s unselfish, a team-oriented guy, and he’ll step up and get in a teammate’s face if he doesn’t think maximum effort is being delivered,” Brannon said. “He’s worked so hard himself, put so much into becoming the best player he could be, that he just won’t allow teammates to slack off. “He’s tough, skilled, intelligent and passionate out there — he flies to the

He hopes to continue his playing career at the collegiate level, where he plans to study engineering. “I love to play football,” said Carwile, who is being recruited by Football Championship Subdivision representative Murray State University of the Ohio Valley Conference, among others. “I definitely want to continue playing the game, and I’m looking forward to the opportunity.” Brannon, meanwhile, believes Carwile is a “potential sleeper” at the next level. “He has the size, speed, strength and quickness to play linebacker in college,” Brannon said, “and his character and work ethic are going to carry him a long way, no matter where he goes. “He’s one of those players, in my opinion, worth taking a chance on for (a Football Bowl Subdivision) program because of his talent, his passion and his willingness to work on a consistent basis. “This guy can really play the game, and the team that signs Shae Carwile will be getting a real winner.”
