skunk Posted June 29, 2004 Report Share Posted June 29, 2004 Ricky Upton was an outstanding H.S. RB...he could play, I didn't mean to leave him off my list... Yeah, I ran track against Preston Brown, great athlete (I remember him as a college & pro WR). Roll Tribe Roll Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manzikert Posted June 29, 2004 Report Share Posted June 29, 2004 A couple that I don't think have been mentioned-- Carl "Goo Baby" Woods-- Gallatin, early 80's Travis Stephens-- Clarksville Northeast, mid 90's Kurston Biggers--- BA, mid 90's Andy Rutledge-- Baylor, mid 70's Jeff Peebles, MBA, late 60's Lonnie Sadler-- Madison, early 70's I second the nominations of Preston Brown and Leroy Thompson. Santanio Beard was good, but I watched him go 80 yds for a TD on his 1st carry against MBA in '98 and then gain 15 yds on 16 carries for the rest of the game--- I think he was more of a beneficiary of some great O lines than a really great back. Finally, I've never seen a better run at any level than Alvin Duke's 58 yd TD to win the '94 Clinic Bowl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GIBSONJ Posted June 29, 2004 Report Share Posted June 29, 2004 You need to make a all-time All County team that would be sweet!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingbrian3 Posted June 29, 2004 Report Share Posted June 29, 2004 That might be something I do in the future. I could always do an all-time team at each school in the county. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
