best midstate player ever?

[stumylou43]

I agree with the Trenton Hassell comment. He was a better high school player than Shawn Marion. I played against both of them so I know. Also another really good player out of Clarksville that played in those same years was Marcus Maybin. I think he was better that Hassell and Marion in high school.

I'm gonna have to run with Badger on that one. He was quiet possibly the most dominent player that I've seen around here. If he would have kept himself straight then who knows where he really could have been.

Old school. I love it.

Wouldn't you have to include Mike Rhodes and Kirk Haston of Perry County on that list?

[pistachio]

They are not even the best two that played at Perry County. Hands down, Albert Ellison. Hows that for old school, bighurt?

I assume he is from the 1950's when Linden/Perry County won 3 in a row.

reggie glimpse-cohn hs.....may have been pc by then. can't remember exactly. i was very young and lived close by. went to watch him play against east and tyrus b. it was an atmosphere i had never experienced before. hooked from that day forward on high school basketball. the game was great but i had to be home before the game was over and i never knew the final score. i am pretty sure east won. they(east) had another player i think his name was magic juan? very good memories. i also went to memorial to see fred jenkins and columbia play against east that year. vanderbilts db from columbia.....manuel????? something or another talked to me during the game( he was supporting his hometown guys) but it was a great atmosphere and i wish someone could schedule games at vu or murphy again between great east-west and midtstate teams during the regular season. also rememberred seeing sylvester grey- ron heury- and some other really good players then that i would have other wise never seen unless they made it to bigtime schools. thanks for the walk down memory lane...just wanted to throw my 2 cents worth in for dr. magic.

How about college basketball's all-time leading scorer- former FRA rebel John Pierce? Hard to argue with the stats...

jamont gordon has more potential than anyone. if he grows into the player he could be, he'll be up there.
