Columbia Killer -Fred Rouse/Lincoln

[OldSchoolLion]

Let's see if we can lure the elusive ColumbiaHighFan from his lair.

This great FL hs player was a nightmare for Columbia during his career, breaking off numerous big TD receptions and punt returns. He ended the Tiger's drive for a state championship one year by catching two 50+ yard TD's.

Who is he?

For which high school did he play?

Where did he play in college?

How could a Madison player had stopped our chance of going to state when we have never been in the same classification

 

It's obviously someone we faced in the playoffs

Early 00s we faced Lincoln in 01 and 02 playoffs and lost to them in 3rd round so I'm guessing it's him since he was also a return specialist for Lincoln back in the day

In early October of 2002, sophomore Fred Rouse helped Lincoln to a 28-18 win over Columbia with a 98-yard TD reception and over 100 punt return yards.  Later that season, in the third round of the playoffs, he caught two TD passes of 50+ yards in Lincoln's 35-26 home win over Columbia.  Lincoln QB Joe Bauserman, went on to play minor league baseball and ultimately qb at Ohio St, lit up the Columbia secondary for over 300 yards that night.  Lincoln and Mr Rouse knocked Columbia out of the playoffs once again in  Tallahassee in 2004, this time in the first round.   

Interestingly, a certain Lincoln WR named Antonio Cromartie helped knock Columbia out of the playoffs in Tallahassee in the third round of the 2001 playoffs.

It is rumored that in 2005, Columbia was so desperate to avoid a potential playoff trip to Tallahassee that they lost their last three games of the season to ensure they would not make the playoffs.  Anything but Lincoln.

Glad to see you rose to the challenge and got it, ColumbiaFan.  I guess one could say that Lincoln was Columbia's Lee back in the 00's.  As you know, I am sure, they faced off in Lake City later that decade.  Lincoln had some excellent players back then, so no shame in losing to some of those teams.

It's funny because I was actually talking to someone a few days ago about those early 00s columbia teams and Lincoln came up in discussion and the person I spoke with brought up Fred Roush and mentioned him being a return specialist
