Baynes wins ASWA award
Staff Report
Tallassee High running back Brandon Baynes is now the Class 5A Back of the Year. The senior was recognized at Wednesday's Alabama Sports Writers Association banquet in Montgomery.
Baynes was one of the three candidates for the award. He is Tallassee's first winner since Justin Williams in 1999.
Tallassee head football coach Mike Battles attended the ceremony.
"I was very proud for him, his family and Tallassee athletics," he said. "It's almost like the Heisman. I've been to the banquet three times. It never gets old seeing guys get recognized in that type of stage in a room with that many great football players. To get chosen out of that group is pretty special."

Madison Academy's Kerryon Johnson was announced as the 33rd Mr. Football recipient.
Battles said he has received calls from colleges that are interested in Baynes. "I had a call last night. His recruitment is going to heat up in the next few weeks. I think that some schools are going to start showing more interest. He's going to have some opportunities. Somebody's going to get a great find. They've just got to come over here to Tallassee and see him."
