FEATURE: Eastland’s Fielding offers an important physical presence on both sides of the ball

EASTLAND — The first thing many people think of when they hear about the Eastland football team, is an up-tempo, pass-oriented attack guided by Texas Tech-bound quarterback Behren Morton.  

That’s understandable, considering the Red Raider pledge hit 173 of 287 passes for 2,754 yards and 29 touchdowns in 2019.  

But what many people don’t realize, is that the Eastland offense features a very important counterweight to Morton — a 220-pound physical presence by the name of Brandon Fielding who forces defenses to remain honest.
