DEL.ICIO.USECI’s recruits prepping for upcoming season

Washaun Ealey, J.C. Lanier and Dexter Moody, three of the state’s most coveted recruits, continue preparations to defend ECI’s Class A championship.
“They’ve been lifting and working and getting ready for the season,” ECI coach Milan Turner said. “It’s been a great summer. Those three guys have made all of the workouts.
“But they’ve done that for the past three years. I wouldn’t expect anything less from them.”
Ealey and Moody have committed to Georgia. Lanier is headed to Georgia Tech. Turner said each commitment is solid and nearly all rival college coaches have accepted that fact.
“They still get mail, but that’s about it,” Turner said. “I think [the other colleges] are pretty convinced where those kids are going to go.”
Ealey and Moody have visited Athens this summer, while Lanier has found time to make the trek from Twin City to Atlanta. To Turner’s knowledge, none of them have visted other colleges recently.
ECI’s team camp in Americus prevented Ealey and Moody from attending “Dawg Day” in Athens on Friday July 18.
Expectations are high in Twin City for another banner season and the opportunity to see the trio play on Saturdays in the not-too-distant future.
“I think everybody is excited and happy for those guys,” Turner said. “But they’ve got to finish their senior year first.
“We try to do a good job of keeping them grounded and focused. Right now, we’re looking at an Aug. 15 scrimmage against Evans and our first game against Savannah Country Day.”

ECI rivals the late 80’s Lincoln Co. teams as the best ever in Class A.
They barely played any competitive games last year and it is hard to foresee many this year. It’s a special time for those folks in Twin City.

In 1991 Lincoln had placed 3 starters (Garrison Hearst, DeWayne Simmons (LB) and Curt Douglas (DT) at UGA all at the same time. I don’t know that any other Georgia high school, in any classification, has done that.

Alabama’s last national championship, 1992, had four players from Fort Payne High School. I do hope my beloved Dawgs are ready for bama this year, because their certainly looking forward to a rematch with Georgia…
