 Is it too early to start recruiting this kid?

 

He's only a freshman ...

Glades Day RB Kelvin Taylor finishes 8th in Mr. Football voting

by Jason Lieser

The Florida Dairy Farmers officially announced former Dwyer star Matt Elam as 2009’s Mr. Football this morning. Glades Day running back Kelvin Taylor, the Class 1B Player of the Year, finished eighth in the voting.

Cocoa’s John Wilkinson, who beat Glades Central for the Class 2A championship, won Coach of the Year.

Taylor

Elam

Despite the area producing three of the state’s eight state championship teams, no local coaches won the award for their classifications, thus none of them were on the final ballot.

Elam is Palm Beach County’s third winner, following Pahokee’s Anquan Boldin (1998) and Antone Smith (2004).

Voting is done by statewide media and coaches. Here is the breakdown of the vote totals (1st place votes get 10 points, 2nd gets 7 and 3rd gets 6):

Player	1st	2nd	3rd	Points
Matt Elam, Dwyer	12	2	1	140
Jeffrey Godfrey, Miami Central	2	5	5	85
Matt Younger, Cocoa	4	4	1	74
Quentin Williams, Tampa-Jefferson	0	4	3	46
Lemarcus Joyner, St. Thomas Aquinas	2	1	3	45
Ronald Jones, Fort Meade	0	1	1	13
Garrett Hammett, Callahan-West Nassau	0	0	2	12
Kelvin Taylor, Glades Day	0	0	1	6
