Tristin Dillard cleared for play at CCHS by KHSAA… @CoachAtchley @AlPopsFootball @ColonelFootball @ReallyTristin @minguabeefjerky @1776Bank
’27 RB left MS listed among the top three (3) at his position in KY according to FBU. Tristin Dillard was born to carry a football. He has played it at all of the levels of football at which he has competed to date. His brothers played RB. His uncle (Mack Dillard) was a star RB for the Colonels of Christian County in his day. If you believe RBs are born and not taught, and we have seen very good proof of this, Tristin Dillard is the running-back for whom your heart has been pining. He is built low to the ground, hard to find in an offensive backfield, has plenty of speed, burst, and explosion, and has excelled at the position since first playing there in the “Bud Hudson Junior Pro League.” Dillard is an accomplished second and third level defender too. This is a tremendous add for the Colonels in the midst of a rebuild.
