Milton RB Williams to speak with Tennessee coach Fulmer today
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Just hours after his 350-yard, seven touchdown rushing performance during Milton’s wild 51-49 victory against Chattahoochee, Eagle running back Toney Williams was up early Saturday morning and on the phone with assistant coaches at Tennessee.
The 6-foot-3, 221 pound Williams, who committed to the Volunteers in May, said word of his incredible feat was already the buzz around Knoxville as the team and coaches prepared to head west for Monday night’s opener with UCLA.
“When I woke up this morning, I called them and they had already heard about it,” Williams said. “They were really excited. It made them proud.
“When I talked to them, they were getting ready to get on the plane [bound for Pasadena, Calif.].”
Williams, who plans to watch Monday evening’s game on television, will speak with Tennessee coach Phillip Fulmer once the team arrives in California later today.
“I’ll call my recruiting coach [Latrell Scott] and he’ll put coach Fulmer on the phone,” Williams said.
So how does it feel to rush for 350 yards and seven touchdowns?
“I’m still kind of shocked,” Williams said. “But at the same time, I kind of expected that from myself.
“I owe it to myself and my team for us to go out and score and win. And we did just enough for us to win the game.”

One of state’s top juniors visits Georgia

Henry County wide receiver MarKeith Ambles, a candidate to be the state’s top player for 2010, is scheduled to make an unofficial visit to Georgia on Saturday.
The 6-foot-3, 185 Ambles is a transfer from Griffin High School and earned offers from every camp he attended over the summer: Ole Miss, Alabama, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Auburn.
“I just started talking to Georgia a couple of weeks ago,” Ambles said. “I went to a Georgia practice and talked to [Mark Richt]. The Georgia coaches wanted to know why I went to Kentucky camp instead of Georgia camp, and it was because my quarterback [Drew Little] and coach went to Kentucky, and that was my ride.
“Georgia said that the scholarship offer was going to come, and not to worry about it.”
