Great Middle School Running Backs

[BruteForce01]

Sf had some real good ones, D'ante and Desmon or something like that...they were quick and good...WHo do you think was good

[hp2006]

i think one of the best running backs ive seen play in the middle school level this year was #2 from pikeville!

[BruteForce01]

D'ante had 200 yards+ in one game b4 and i thought that was awesome...he got two 90 yard touchdowns

[PantherPride68]

i think one of the best running backs ive seen play in the middle school level this year was #2 from pikeville!Houston Mcanallen is #2 hes amazing. We had a good FB in J.R. Robinson as well he always got the tough yards. Youll be hearing from both these guys.

[Ravens#52]

deontae never gotm any 90 yard touchdowns his longest run was like 72 yards their fullback bobby meade had the longest run this year it 88 yard run against AC and desmond had 79 yard run against paintsville

[UCbulldog4life]

Nathan Dillion for Johnson County Middle was one heck of a RB.

[football dad]

Daniel Harmon......KId was awsome...seen him hit the gap againsy Grundy last year took a lick (#61 outside linebacker)that echoed like ya was in a tunnel...got up and ran wild for 4 quarters....wished he"d stayed at Shelby Valley...definitley a loss for them..
#2 pick..Jordan Ellis Grundy....kid was a blocking back and through the halfback option...give him the rock and he"d lower his head and get 8 if ya needed 7....love the kid really turned it on this year with every oppertunity he got to touch the ball..most unselfish player I ever was around..

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Elkhorn had a few good running backs this year.. Korey fields and Jeffrey Mccoy.

[BruteForce01]

Yeah Bobby was awesome

[kyfootballfan]

Virgie's backfield of Brock Kinney, Daniel Harmon, and Quirvon Merchant from 2 years ago is the best back field you will ever see in on a middle school team

[MCHS#79]

J.owens is brutal back.

[BigJ]

i think kyle elkins when he played in 6th grade

[Big_Ben#7]

Nathan Dillon is a good one...Does anybody remember Cody Ratliff a couple years ago? That kid was amazing and Cody Reynolds from last year. Even though he transfered to Paintsville he was still one **** of a back at JCMS

[heinsman]

i agree about Nathan Dillon and Houston Mcanallen but what about Inez and Pburg and Hazzard?

[hhsgrad09]

Roy G. Eversole(hazard)...last two years have had an amazing backfield in Austin Blanton, Michael Campbell, and Mikael Campbell

[Matney's Prodigey]

Inez has had some special backs come through in the past few years. Moe Spradlin, Jamie Jarrett, Brandon May, Ryan Kelly, Ian Bertling, Matt Slone, & Channing Smith were all really good middle school backs. Smith has another year ahead of him as well.

Scotty McCoy was a good one who began at Inez but transfered to Johnson Central when his family moved into Johnson County. JCMS also had Chad Yates who was tough in middle school.

[matilda]

Cody Meade of Paintsville

[Billnz28]

Virgie's backfield of Brock Kinney, Daniel Harmon, and Quirvon Merchant from 2 years ago is the best back field you will ever see in on a middle school team

BJ Bryant and Matt Tackett from South Floyd was the best two grade school Backs I have ever seen in Grade School football in eastern Ky. both averaged well over 100 yards per game and were amazing.

[PLAYBOY5]

Chase Adams from Whitesburg blows all away..And for those who seen him play and made you pay...you should remember him. I know Pikeville/Belfry does!

[BlackcatAlum]

At adams Jason Holbrook was great RB for the B-team and Ed Osbourne for allen !

[The Buckeye]

At Betsy Laynes Casey Adkins and Dylan Maldonado are the real deal! These two young men along with Nathan Martin are the future for the Betsy Layne Bobcats. Arm Chair Quarterback get off the couch and come watch these boys play. First home game August 31 against South Floyd.

[dirty dawg]

You can't leave out Hunter James at Louisa Middle/small but tough and fast!!

[snoopysf]

bobby meade fb sf
daunte vrank hd sf
desmond watss hb sf
austin mckinney rb p burg
casey adkins bl rb

[football17]

the cards have avery ray #1 mikkie moore #32 and channing smith #45


the cards will be on stopable this year. and this is the middle school team
in martin co.

[Jimmy Dugan]

Daniel Harmon is by far the best I have seen.. It seemed like it was almost impossible to tackle him in the open field.

[phs1986]

Timmy Stevenson # 25
Austn Mayhorn #1
Mac Page #10

[Jimmy Dugan]

yeah the two backs from elkhorn were awesome. they went to the county championship and beat pikeville in regular season.

[PHS95]

But, Elkhorn is down this year, or so I heard....

[Jimmy Dugan]

but, everyone is talking about last year...duh

[phs1986]

My listings are NOT from Elkhorn.... but kudo's to Elkhorn for having some talent!!

[PHS95]

no, most of these posts are talking about this year.... so let's stick to what we know about this year....

[PHS95]

Looked to me like Pikeville has a couple... there are a couple of kids from Phelps that can run strong when they get good blocking (#25, #10).... who else?

[phs1986]

Mine is this years... what do you think 95?? I know you know the ones I mentioned!!! :)

[PHS95]

I'm dealing with this year.... why talk about the past, its pointless....

[Jimmy Dugan]

Who are pikeville's backs?

[PHS95]

Houston McAnallen for one, and the Dillon kid, I believe his name is Nathan, is another.... they can run all over anyone!

[alfus21]

Houston McAnallen for one, and the Dillon kid, I believe his name is Nathan, is another.... they can run all over anyone!

I thought he was in High School now?

[phs1986]

which one?? Dillon or McAnallen???

[panther-]

Mcanallen is now in high school why is everyone talking about last year?

[phs1986]

I was just replying as to whom or should I say which one was he/she (alfus21) referring to!!

[panther-]

not that im tlaking about the whole post. everyone they are talking about is in HS

[Jimmy Dugan]

I heard that elkhorn's starting running back has a broken bone and is out.

[Kcc_26]

Jacob miller is a powerful back.. Knott county middle school teams

[kyhomebiz]

Cody reynolds(paintsville),daniel harmon(pikeville), and quirvon merchant(pike central) all of these kids were dominate in middle school and all of them from virgie, if they would have stayed with SVHS they would be an **** of a backfield to have on your team.

[Jimmy Dugan]

yeah virgie wins it all every year it seems like and still doesn't go all the way in high school. they should try to maintain their kids.

[TRAIN85]

Houston McAnallen for one, and the Dillon kid, I believe his name is Nathan, is another.... they can run all over anyone! houston is now a freshman who starts varsity, and the dillon kid i have no idea who he is. and i am around pikeville football everyday.

[bobcater]

Dylan Maldanoda and Casey are both 2 really good runing backs for betsy layne

[pikeville75]

keene from pikeville is great along with mims at FB.

[playmaker11]

I think Jesse Rose from Powell County is a stud..Had about 200+ yards and 4 touchdowns against McNabb Middle. He can run, throw, and lay u out. He will be a player to watch in high school...Remember the name

[bobcater]

That boy from p-burg last year was awsome cause he could play ofense and play deffense

[FBALL]

Travis Edwards and Patrick Cooper from Russell's 8th grade team. These two may be the next thunder and lightning combo. You will be hearing about them in couple of years.

[cobra67]

Chase Adams from Whitesburg blows all away..And for those who seen him play and made you pay...you should remember him. I know Pi keville/Belfry does!Yeah we do. Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't he drive himself to the game?I'd be proud of that too

[Pirates~R~Us]

Yeah we do. Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't he drive himself to the game?I'd be proud of that too

LOL I saw that!! Dont know who it was but I saw that :lmao:

[football17]

if a kid is driving to a middle school game, he should be turned in, for the age limit.. i thought it was 15

[DEVILOLOGIST]

Travis Edwards and Patrick Cooper from Russell's 8th grade team. These two may be the next thunder and lightning combo. You will be hearing about them in couple of years.
I know COOPER......, on the 6th grade team yesterday I saw the SKAGGS kid for the first time since he has never played football before. MAN OH MAN what a runner. I heard that he had 2 touches the first game and 2 TD, The first time he touched the ball yesterday he scored from 75 yards out. Man child on the field. Mac Boggs is not as fast but the same size as Skaggs but Mac is only 10 this year and will play 6th next year. Mac Is another kid you will be hearing alot about. He is over the weight limit for JFL this year weighing in at 135 pounds as a 10 year old but he is 5'8" tall. Heis going to be a beast too.:devilflam

[Old school Dawg]

What about JJ jude?

I won't comment on anybody below 8th grade. Even 8th and Freshmen are too early to call for me. To many variables. Some kids mature faster than others, some have a late growth spurt, some have a terrific work ethic and want to get better, some don't want to work to get better, some get burnt out on a sport.

Skaggs is a terrific athlete for a kid that young but he definitely has the pedigree. Mac is a great kid. But who knows about any of them at that age. The kid that sits at the end of the bench in 6th grade might just end up to be an all state player in high school.


Dude, you really need to go see Edwards play.

[DEVILOLOGIST]

I really need to get out there and watch their games...... Hard to miss practice to it though.

[dawgmom]

What about JJ jude?


I watched him play Thursday against LC's 7th grade team. He looked very impressive on both sides of the ball. He has a lot of speed.

All very good points FBALL. You bring to my mind current and past players that fit each variable.

I will make it a point to go to go watch Edwards play. His big brother Chad graduated with honors from the school of hard knocks. The Edwards kid may be motivated by his big brothers "Big Ring". I hope my younger son will be motivated by his bigger brothers ring one day. But, I'm still waiting.........

[HazzBeen]

Yeah we do. Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't he drive himself to the game?I'd be proud of that too

Not unless they changed the laws and you can drive when you are 14. He is fifteen now.

[dirty dawg]

JJ always was a tough kid, small but strong. A standout in football? Probably not, depends on opponent. Why isn't Hunter James ever mentioned? Turner O'Brian? Chandler Shepherd? Wade Skaggs? BJ Jarrell? Ramsey Compton? Blake Bradley? These kids have proven over and over that they are on the field to play ball-

Good point dirty dawg. They are all exceptional players. Turner O'Brian has a lot of speed and is hard to catch, Hunter James can find a hole anywhere, BJ Jarrell is an explosive player, Chandler Shepherd is just simply amazing. But lets not forget the boys on the front line that make it possible for them to do the things they do.

[dirty dawg]

Your'e right-the offense could do nothing without the defense and those boys always make a point of "thanking" the blockers-
Never overlook Brody Preston, Cole Cyrus, Landon Copley, Jacob Holbrook and the others I can't think of on the line

Great Group of kids on this team!!:Cheerlead

[BelfryBuck]

Not unless they changed the laws and you can drive when you are 14. He is fifteen now. If he is 15 now that would make him 16 as freshman,17as soph, 18as a jr., 19as sr. If I,m not mistaken Oct. 1 is the cut off day for turning 19 your sr yr and still being able to play so he could possible lose his sr yr.if he already turned 15 in the 8th.
