Rising 2029 Stars: 13 Named All-Sumner County For a Second Time

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sumner County, Tennessee is about as directly in the middle and North as it gets when looking at a map of the Volunteer State. In fact, the middle Tennessee county actually borders Simpson County and Allen County in Kentucky to the north. It's also home to a number of impressive middle school football players and a well organized conference. Below is a look at the 2029 prospects who earned All-County honors multiple times during their middle school career.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><span style="text-decoration: underline">Quarterback</span></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1563275"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-673fbf7cc3311"} --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Selected All-County as a seventh-grader in 2023 and again as an eighth-grader in 2024</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>The only Liberty Creek Middle School prospect selected to the All-County Team for consecutive years</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Led the Liberty Creek Wolves to an 8-2 record in the East Division and 11-5 record overall during his two years at the helm</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>The Wolves saw significant growth in year two with O'Brien at the helm, averaging 32 points per game in 2024 as oppose to 18.5 last year</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1547429"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6740cdb1b06fd"} --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Selected All-County as a seventh-grader in 2023 and again as an eighth-grader in 2024</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>One of five T.W.
