The Bibb County Choctaws and West Blocton Tigers have represented the county well in Aaron Suttles' 2009 West Alabama High School Football All Star List. The list was published in the Tuscaloosa news at the end of 2009.
The most prestigious of Suttles' recognitions went to Bibb County High School's head coach and starting tailback. Mike Battles was recognized as Coach of the Year in Class 4A, while Quail Rutledge was named Player of the Year in Class 4A.
Aaron Suttles is a sports writer for the Tuscaloosa News and pays strict attention to the goings on in West Alabama High School athletics. His decisions come from his knowledge of teams he has seen in person, and of coarse old fashioned, unbiased statistics. He does not exclusively determine his selections, however. West Alabama High School coaches also have a say in who does or doesn’t make the cut.
Other BCHS players making the Class 4A list were Senior Defensive Lineman Courtney Johnson, Senior Offensive Lineman Neil Johnson, Senior Linebacker Kevoris Pratt, Senior Linebacker Andrelle Stacy, and Junior Defensive-End Diaheem Watkins. Rutledge was not only named "Player of the Year" but also made the all-star team in the running back slot.
In Class 3A the West Blocton Tigers, representing the North end of the county also showed up numerous times on that list. The mentioned WBHS players were: Senior Linebacker Bubba Fulmer, Senior Linebacker Keondre Hill, Senior Fullback and Linebacker James Kelser, Senior Offensive and Denfensive Lineman Cody Pate, and Senior Tight End and Linebacker Justin White.
In 2010 Bibb County and West Blocton will both play in the same class as well as the same region. The Centreville Press congratulates these players on their tremendous seasons and with pride we wish them continued success.
