5-10, 195-pound tailback T.J. Pitts has helped North Hall High School to a 3-0 start to the 2005 season. In the 3 games, he has totaled over 400 yards rushing and scored 8 touchdowns as North Hall made it through what Head Coach Bob Christmas calls “the toughest games on our schedule.”

“In the first game, he rushed for 215 yards,” Christmas said, referring to Pitts. “In the second he had 108 yards in the first half. He only played one half. In our third game, he had 111 yards. The other team was keying in on him throughout the game. He also had 1 catch on a swing pass that went for 60 yards.”

Maybe not the biggest back, Pitts has used his speed and toughness to rack-up the yards.

“He’s only 195-pounds, but T.J. will run over you,” Christmas said. “His legs never stop going. Once he gets in the open he puts it into that other gear. Players think they have the angle and they don’t.”
