Top Running Backs to look for in Class 1 A..

[All_state_RB#1]

Whos the top backs to be looking for in class 1A.. Even on teams, as in Phelps, south floyd, aller central, and Jenkins..

[All-American Lineman]

I would be looking for Richardson, Belcher, Taylor, and Kiser from jenkins , dont know to much about the other teams

[Mr.Baseball2]

i have no clue

[player_5622]

didnt allen central lose there stud?

[All-American Lineman]

i think allen central stud transferred

[All_state_RB#1]

Yeah he transfered to panitsville.. i hurd.. and yeah the kids from Jenkins are good.. Kiser didnt he play at Neon?? and Taylor is a beat, Belcher hes small but hes fearless.. and Richardson is a good around back..

[All-American Lineman]

Yeah he transfered to panitsville.. i hurd.. and yeah the kids from Jenkins are good.. Kiser didnt he play at Neon?? and Taylor is a beat, Belcher hes small but hes fearless.. and Richardson is a good around back..
Kiser did play for neon before it closed, all these kids are great athletes and behind Walker, Fleming, And Hunsucker not many people will get to these backs

[All_state_RB#1]

Kiser did play for neon before it closed, all these kids are great athletes and behind Walker, Fleming, And Hunsucker not many people will get to these backs

Yeah i agree it starts at the line!! :thumpsup:

[All-American Lineman]

This line from Jenkins will get it done this year, they have few weak spots at any posistion

[All_state_RB#1]

Yeah but thats a team.. Anyone know about south floyds RB??

[Beef]

I would be looking for Richardson, Belcher, Taylor, and Kiser from jenkins , dont know to much about the other teamsAre you telling me that there are 4 top running backs that all play for one team? Maybe one of those guys can compete for the top spot in Class A, but not more.

[All-American Lineman]

Are you telling me that there are 4 top running backs that all play for one team? Maybe one of those guys can compete for the top spot in Class A, but not more.
Not top 4, just good decent running backs, but Richardson is the top canidate:ChairHit:

[All_state_RB#1]

there all good backs.. all 4 of them..
but i agree Richardson is the top canidate

[Beef]

How did he play last year?

[All_state_RB#1]

He done good.. he should of started RB, but the Johnson kid did..
but it seemed like Johnson got hurd everygame.. so Richarson steped it up..

[All-American Lineman]

How did he play last year?
I know he was the MVP of the Cumberland Coal Bowl and averaged about 5 to 6 yards a carry which is decent for a junior

[Beef]

Be good to see how he stacks up once the season gets going. He have any kind of live to run behind?

[All_state_RB#1]

Yeah i hope he has a great senior year.. and yeah jenkins line should be good.. so he could have a outstanding season..

[All-American Lineman]

Be good to see how he stacks up once the season gets going. He have any kind of live to run behind?
Yeah, he has two sophmore guards that have improved alot in Walker and Fleming both of them about 6'0 250 and the Center Hunsucker has got alot stronger and faster he is only 6'0 about 170 180 pounds but can play, they got a 5'10 300 pound tackle in fleming (another) and a 5'10 275 pound tackle in Holland, decent line that has played together for awhile anre very strong and quick

[All_state_RB#1]

Thats Great... hope the Richardson kid stacks up!

[PantherPride68]

Cant believe nobody has mentioned Daniel Harmon from Pikeville yet. Best RB in 1a in the mountains IMO and only a Sophomore!

[gish_7]

i think allen central stud transferred
You are referring to Robbie Vanderpool, and no he did not transfer..last year was Robbie's senior year..after football season he transferred to the Garrett Christian Academy to play basketball, but he got held back at Garrett so he will be a senior again this year, but will not be elgible to play football again.

[All-American Lineman]

Cant believe nobody has mentioned Daniel Harmon from Pikeville yet. Best RB in 1a in the mountains IMO and only a Sophomore!
He is really good just to be a sophomore

[All_state_RB#1]

Cant believe nobody has mentioned Daniel Harmon from Pikeville yet. Best RB in 1a in the mountains IMO and only a Sophomore!
Yeah i seen this kid play... hes a great back..
and so is the kid from KCC...

[player_5622]

Yeah th Owens kid was 2nd leading rusher last year...in the STATE not the mountains..the state thats impressive abd wasnt he just a sophmore? ? Yeah but aint Daniel Harmon like 20? he played middle school for valley for like 5 years or sumthing, I heard that he was havin knee promblems? Any one heard?

[All_state_RB#1]

yeah i thought the owens kid was 2nt in the state.. hes just a junior this year..

[All-American Lineman]

owens is a good back and he just going to be a junior so he has got room to grow

[All_state_RB#1]

Yeah.. Richardson from jenkins reminds me of him.. but Richardson isnt scared to get hit.. he'll do anything to gain as many yards and he can.. then he'll lower his head, and get 2 or 3 more..

[All-American Lineman]

Yeah.. Richardson from jenkins reminds me of him.. but Richardson isnt scared to get hit.. he'll do anything to gain as many yards and he can.. then he'll lower his head, and get 2 or 3 more..

I would like to see him do that this year

[All_state_RB#1]

Yeah i think he will..

[gish_7]

Bobby Owens plays for KCC...arent they a 2A school?

[All_state_RB#1]

Bobby Owens plays for KCC...arent they a 2A school?

Yes its a 2AA school..

[PantherPride68]

Yeah th Owens kid was 2nd leading rusher last year...in the STATE not the mountains..the state thats impressive abd wasnt he just a sophmore? ? Yeah but aint Daniel Harmon like 20? he played middle school for valley for like 5 years or sumthing, I heard that he was havin knee promblems? Any one heard?Hes 16. He was a little banged up last week but I dont think it was his knee he alright now I reckon. Sorry, you got to my post while I was editing it.

[All_state_RB#1]

Hes 16

Hows his knee??

[The Blue Blur]

Yeah he transfered to panitsville.. i hurd.. and yeah the kids from Jenkins are good.. Kiser didnt he play at Neon?? and Taylor is a beat, Belcher hes small but hes fearless.. and Richardson is a good around back..

Who is the stud that transferred to Paintsville?? I believe you got some bad information there.

[The Blue Blur]

He done good.. he should of started RB, but the Johnson kid did..
but it seemed like Johnson got hurd everygame.. so Richarson steped it up..

As an outsider, the Johnson kid was Jenkins' stud. He played hard but didn't have a lot of supporting players with him.

[All-American Lineman]

Thats is true

[All_state_RB#1]

As an outsider, the Johnson kid was Jenkins' stud. He played hard but didn't have a lot of supporting players with him.

Yeah he was the stud at jenkins.. but johnson always acted like he was hurt... and he had no heart..

[All-American Lineman]

Johnson was a good back no doubting that, he did have some support, he had a okay line but wasn't expierenced , good backfield with help from belcher, richardson, and taylor

[player_5622]

The reason he didnt have any suporting players is because no one liked the kid, he was good but he acted like he was a American Badass. He acted like he was to good to be playin on the same feild as some of his teamates. But jenkins really dont have a stud this year because everyones stepped up. But the richardson kid has the talent and heart to be just as good of a back if not better the johnson

[All_state_RB#1]

But the richardson kid has the talent and heart to be just as good of a back if not better the johnson

Yeah i hurd alot about his dissing his players.. and he would fight with them on the feild.. whouldnt play hard.. just had a bad attutide.. he could have been an out standing player..
yeah i didnt think jenkins had a stud this year.. but I'v hurd alot about the Richardson kid.. hes got some talent, to be a great back..

[The Blue Blur]

From what I seen, the Johnson kid played his hind end off. He probably was banged up quite often, as I didn't see him get a whole lot of help blocking. I don't even know the kid, but what I've seen him do against Paintsville the last two seasons was play his hind parts off for his team. I'll let you know how I think Richardson compares to Johnson after the Paintsville game this season.

yeah dont get me wrong Johnson did play hard sometimes.. but maybe not that game, and i think Richardson will do well aginst paintsville.. his Sophmore year, Richardson scored, 3 Td. and had liek 200 + rushing yards..

[The Blue Blur]

So Richardson will be a junior or senior this year? Are you talking about 3 TD's and 200 yards for the season??

[Beef]

Are you talking about 3 TD's and 200 yards for the season??Please say in one game..........

[LC99]

For the second year in row, and with him only being junior, Lynn Camp should have the top back in the mts in Class A with Joe Roskopf. He rushed for over 1200 yards last season, sharing the ball with Josh Reynolds and The top back in the mts last season Jimmy Chaffin. Another name to watch out for would be Sidney Wagner, a great off season, by him could lead to big things. Other names in the region, David Adams of Pineville, Michael Washington of Cumberland, Kenny Hughes of Somerset, and Harlan and Evarts should have good strong backs, they usually do.

[The Blue Blur]

Please say in one game..........

I'm hoping so too but I know it wasn't against Paintsville in the last three years.

[All_state_RB#1]

So Richardson will be a junior or senior this year? Are you talking about 3 TD's and 200 yards for the season??

He'll be a senior, and yes that was in one game.... when he played paintsville.

Iv heard of Josh Reynolds.. dont know much about him..

[The Blue Blur]

What # does he wear?? I'll have to go pull the tape on this one.

[All_state_RB#1]

What # does he wear?? I'll have to go pull the tape on this one.

Hes number 1..

[The Blue Blur]

Hes number 1..

I'll have to check it out, the only ones I remember even showing talent was #21 and Johnson. For some reason I'm not suprised what # he wears.

[All-American Lineman]

I'll have to check it out, the only ones I remember even showing talent was #21 and Johnson. For some reason I'm not suprised what # he wears. #21 who was that? unless it was two years ago, that was the thompson kid i think

[The Blue Blur]

#21 who was that? unless it was two years ago, that was the thompson kid i think

I don't remember his name, he played CB and RB. It was two years ago, as your buddy said it was Richardson's sophomore year.

[walter payton]

I'll have to check it out, the only ones I remember even showing talent was #21 and Johnson. For some reason I'm not suprised what # he wears.
richarsons sophmore year johnson didnt play

[The Blue Blur]

Well sorry thought Johnson was #7 and lined up at QB that year. #7 from Jenkins during the 2004 season played QB the whole first half for them against Paintsville. Just watch the tape, score was 64-16. #1 had maybe at most 75 yards, didn't carry the ball until the 3rd quarter. All of his yards were against freshman and sophomore reserves as Paintsville didn't have a starter left on the field including Pugh, Cantrell or Sublett who were the only sophomore starters. #1 assuming that was Richardson, scored 1 touchdown and converted on the 2 pt. conversion. The other touchdown was scored by that #21, whoever he is. If it helps you Jenkin faithful remember who he was, it was an African-American kid.

Well my bad.. sorry but the Richardson kid is better then Johnson was... he had more heart... and a better attutide.. cant say he wasnt a good back..

[Camper]

Iv hurd of Josh Reynolds.. dont know much about him..
Josh Reynolds graduated last year, he was a good back but, a better defensive player if you ask me.
Joe will have a good season this year i think he's got a good line and fullback that will be the key.. well also haveing great vision and speed doesn't hurt any
Wagner its hard to say he's got talent and speed but not that much varsity exp. that Joe has come up with because of the great backs he's been behind at lynn camp

[The Blue Blur]

Whose Joe's fullback? I know Reynolds blocked quite a bit last year but so did #1. Does #1 return?

[BlackcatAlum]

I think it will be someone from Danville ! Cause they always seem to have a great RB year in and year out IMO !

[All-American Lineman]

always true:Thumbs:

[Camper]

scott brey will be the full back most of the time but there is a few others that can play the position he's number 15 or 1 hmm i don't know!! i feel bad now

[LUMBERJACK'06]

Yeah but thats a team.. Anyone know about south floyds RB??
Anthony Barker is going to be a force for the raiders, he will be about the only option for them this year

[All-American Lineman]

Anthony Barker is going to be a force for the raiders, he will be about the only option for them this year
He will need some help for them to do anything on the ground:rockon:

[Won in the Trenches]

#32 from pikeville, Harmon...
very impressive

how old is this kid?

[Nuffsaid23]

Look for Wayne Stevens to have a good senior year. Competition is down around these parts and he has a good line in front of him like he did at Rowan co. I also look forward to see Derrick Young from Morgan co. to put some numbers. They're going to use him like a borrowed mule.

[LUMBERJACK'06]

how old is this kid?
he is a senior this year, tough as nails hard runner pretty good speed too

[The Postman]

I dont belive Richardson has rushed for 200 yards and three touchdowns in his carrer (i cant spell) THe best backs usual come from your powerschools so beechwood danville and ncc probably have the best backs.

[Boomer86]

:notworthy Will Richardson even start this year for the cavaliers? Me personally I think Taylor will be the stud this year in the backfield. But lets drop all of the hype and see it on the field. Good luck guys!

[All_state_RB#1]

Richardson does started RB... and yeaj Taylor id the stud i would say also..

[MVP2]

:thumpsup: that is impressive,Owens is a very good back but KCC is 2A not 1A

[The Guru]

He'll be a senior, and yes that was in one game.... when he played paintsville.
Jenkins, has scored 3 tds against Paintsville in the last 3 years only 2 in one game though.
He must be really good and is the best kept secret in the mountains as the scorekeepers didn't even know about how good he played!

[All-American Lineman]

I agree.. theres alot of hype about him, so lets see if he truly is that good.. :thumpsup:

[The Postman]

Come boys your starting to make the school look bad now lets just quit the hype!!!!!!

[football_fan]

well i think we all know who all state rb#1 is, and its kinda looking like the blue blur is close to the johnson kid. So heres how a ex jenkins caviler, and fan of the cavs, feels about them. I watched all the games last year and alot of the practices. the Johnson kid was alright but wasnt no stud he complained alot and yelled at his teammates. he had some size but didnt use it, he was afraid of taking a hit. And it seemed like every time he wasnt doing good he got "hurt". Thats not a stud to me.Now for the richardson kid From my point of view he is a better all around back. Ive been to all of the practices this year and both games. The WHOLE TEAM looks better than last year. they dont have that bad attatude to bring them down. but it just the first of the year and alot can change so looks like richardson needs to prove alot on the field, and at the end of the year we will see if hes All State!

I wouldn't know the Johnson kid, if he smacked me in the face. I'm so close to him, that Paintsville is an hour and a half drive to Jenkins. I just basically giving my point of view from an outsider I know what I seen out of him. That's all. Just out of curiousity who was the last All-State player for Jenkins?

[LUMBERJACK'06]

wasnt expecting much from south floyd at all, but after seeing the scrimage fri. against powell co. anthony barker is a great back runs hard and has pretty good speed, the raiders might make a run for the playoffs but notthing after the first round

[White Mike]

they also have a good freshman running back in Bobby Meade...but Anthony Barker is their star for this year...

haha i guess we do.. not really this is just someone close to him.. but thanks alot, and yes he does have a lot to prove...

[football_fan]

to be honest I really dont know, if the were one it was befor i can remeber. if any one knows i would sure like to know myself!

[All-American Lineman]

haha i guess we do.. not really this is just someone close to him.. but thanks alot, and yes he does have a lot to prove...
yeah he does

[HSFootballFreak]

Jenkins has got a deep backfield...the best runnin back on the team being the quarterback, chris puckett, an amazin quarterback, they got a great fullback/mlb that already has college scouts lookin at him, and three tailbacks with some good explosiveness..belcher, richardson and branham...

[player_5622]

Yeah puckett is the best running back lol, that Taylor kid is a beast, i seen him play at the grid-o-rama at eastridge, he was puttin kids on there backs. But someone that really stood out was there OLB he had like 12 tackels, idk who he is but his # is 3

[98]

The best back in 1A and quite possibly the state is Michael Vicars from Newport Central Catholic.

Belfry boys and girls will get on here and back me up after Friday.

[HSFootballFreak]

i don't think the Kiser kid is gonna play from Jenkins...He may have quit, that leaves the backfield to Belcher, Richardson, Taylor and Branham.

[All_state_RB#1]

Yeah i hurd he was quit.. he would have been a good back, and would have helped the cavs out alot... sad too see him go..
