Richard, I have seen some tremendous running backs playing high school football, so I don’t know if I would go quite that far with Luke. But as you can see from my post today (made before I saw your comment) I think a lot of Luke. Tremendous high school player that needs to be in a college program next year. Size issue aside, the kid can flat play for anybody. Howver, I agree 100-percent with your thoughts on the Robbinsville game. Kelly Holder and his staff seem to miss nothing—they do a wonderful job. I think it will be a slobberknocker, but Mount Airy can play that way too. Since August, I expected the Bears to wind up at BB&T Field playing for a second straight state title and I haven’t changed my opinion. Thanks for reading and responding

Mount Airy may have its hands full on Firday night with Robbinsville. I think they will prevale and they will do so in large measure because they: have an outstanding coaching staff that will have them ready; they have the discipline to make adjustments on defense; and they have who I believe is the bes running back I have ever seen in high school football- Luke Wheeler.
I know that is a big statement, but this kid is not just fast, he is quick, he is strong, he runs straight ahead following his blockers, and did I mention fast.

And no, he is not my son, nephew, neighbor or daughters boyfriend. He is just that good.
