MR. Football

[lpd826]

Who will win Mr football this year? My pick is Maurice Coleman of Butler High

[lpd826]

Dont forget about St. Xavier running back Victor Anderson and Male all-purpose back Douglas Beaumont are top candidates for Mr. Football this season.

[Tomcat68]

It is Anderson's trophy to lose, as long as he performs well, he'll win it.

[All-American Lineman]

Anderson form St. X

[All_state_RB#1]

guy from st.x sounds good 2 me

[mrfootball03]

Victor Anderson.. hands down..

[BoondockSaint]

I really think Doug Beaumont will win the award, and here are the advantages he has over Anderson.

He plays both ways and is a standout on either side of the ball.
He plays multiple positions (RB/WR/DB/KR) and plays them as well as anyone in the state.
He comitted to a KY school....the University of Louisville (Anderson is going to WVU).

[The College One]

Victor Anderson or Kasey Clark IMO

[LovetheBucs]

Anderson missed several games with injury didn't he?

This is Beaumont's award to win, with Chase Minnifield being a threat due to the significant Lexington factor.

[big_cards_fan]

i wish 2a and 3a schools had a say in this

[BlackcatAlum]

Victor Anderson of Male High School in Louisville !

[LovetheBucs]

Blackcat Student.... I have no doubt your a great person. BUT, Victor Anderson plays for Louisville Saint Xaiver. Douglas Beaumont plays for Louisville Male.

I love this site because it doesn't limit fans from commenting on threads. That said, should we really comment on things we don't really fully understand?

All those in favor, say I: I!!!!!!:thumpsup:

[LovetheBucs]

I have to say this.. I really do not want to chill people's speech.

I just want to make sure that people understand that when you put something in print (written word, type, etc) that you understand what your saying.

BCS, I know you are a solid member of the community. I don't think you will disagree with me on my point. I want to encourage everyone to comment on important topics. BUT.. if someone asked me what I thought about Issac Newton, I wouldn't comment, OR I would make sure I had a solid understanding before I did so.

Please don't think I'm being rude. To build upon your post, I think Vic Anderson has a legitimate shot at Mr. Football. He has already committed to WVU and is one of the state's top prospects. Given that Male (beaumont) just beat ST X (Anderson) in a close game, I think Beaumont has a slight lead.

Minnefield from Henry Clay may be the best in the state. The kid has committed to UVA, and should be an impact player on arrival. Minnefield plays receiver, DB, runs the ball, punts, etc etc for Henry Clay.

[finish it off_1]

the RB from saint X///

[CSTEPP]

ANDERSON will get it no doubt

[t-cat50]

Victor Anderson of Male High School in Louisville !
he goes to st. X

given that those two schools are pretty easily confused for people who really don't get a chance to watch them, and probably can't tell you more than 3 to 4 players on each team, who's to say he didn't get confused on the school.
Let's say he read a post that said something about male, then turned around and posted his post with male on the brain. They are both 4A schools from louisville, and they aren't called Trinity.
Give the kid a break.

[lpd826]

I agree give the kid a break its easy to get mixed up on here when you are trying to keep up with a bunch of threads..

[tomcatfan722000]

After What I saw Last Friday Shaun Grimm Is the best back since Arliiss Beach I've Seen Play and Arliss is now in the nfl so Grimm From Johnson Central Should Be Mentioned I mean 300 yards and 3 tds against ashland doesnt happen very often

My mistake man, I meant St. X ! I just get Trinity, X, and Male, confused often.

Hey, lighten up. If you're not from Louisville it's not hard to get Male, Trinity, or St. X mixed up. I do it all the time and I like to think I know a great deal about KY HS football. I have read many of Blackcat Students posts on here and other forums and he knows enough about football to post on any football thread. So take it easy, just because someone gets something mixed up it doesn't mean they should be banished from posting.

To get back on subject my Mr. Football would go to KASEY CLARK of RUSSELL. His stats are pretty impressive for only playing 2 quarters and on several occasions this year only playing 1 quarter.

[MVP2]

Minnefield has committed to Virgina???

[BlackcatAlum]

Minnefield has committed to Virgina???

Yes, he did.

[BlackcatAlum]

Has anyone else noticed how UK has struggled to get good in state recruits ? I mean the kids from HC, St. X, Trinity, and the guy from Bell Co.

I don't think that would happen, just for the sheer fact that Russell is 2A..
As much as we like to not think so, there is a huge difference in 2A to 4A..
And alot of people like to look at it that way.. when you excel in 4A.. people
automatically put you at the top.. when I also know very well, that theres Single A school who could beat 4A schools..

Last years Mr. Football came from a 2A school(Micah Johnson - Fort Campbell). But I knew what ya meant.

[mrfootball03]

yeah, but which also makes it less of a chance that Mr. Football will come outta 2A again.. You already had to hear 4A fans crying that 2A is weak..
When the honest truth is Kentucky Football isn't as strong as other states all together... 4A is not very strong either... theres only 2 or 3 schools that usually ever break the National Rankings.. St. X, Trinity, & Male sometimes

[DEVIL89]

In my opinion for Kasey to win MR. FOOTBALL he would have had to score an average 6 TD's a game and run for an average of 200 to 250 yards a game just to make it in the top 5. With that said I would love to see him win it but it just is NOT going to happen. This side of the state may win championships but NOBODY may ever win MR. FOOTBALL just because their is not enough exposure.

I agree with you :thumpsup:

[DEVIL89]

Now that I have said that my vote for MR. FOOTBALL would have to go with the Beaumont kids I believe he is from Lousiville Male.

[packers fan]

Adam Dials... would run all over the Anderson kid all day long..

[Pink Flamingo]

You have to put Kasey Clark in the picture.

[FBALL]

adam dials... would run all over the anderson kid all day long..

uhh, no :flame:

[mrfootball03]

i have to agree with FBALL

AND THIS IS NOT LISTING HIS TACKLES.........
There are the stats...I dont know.. looks hard to beat.............
I will have to say CLARK..... numbers dont lie, and remember he only plays 2-3 quarters a game..................

[crazytaxidriver]

that's kind of jumbled up there devil..

Clark wont win because it's a 2A eky team.. Unless UK was recruiting him heavy then he might not be mentioned, except an honorable mention..

Even if he did average 250 yds a game, and only played 2 quarters, then the 4A people would say he only puts up those numbers because the competition is weak.

It's a screwed up system i think.


and whoever said adam dials would run over the anderson kid, well, you need to go watch the boy play.

[mrfootball03]

what kinda looks is Kasey Clark getting??? (colleges?)

[AshlandTcat06]

I would love to see Kasey Clark win the award, but I think it will go to Victor Anderson.

[StrikeoutKing]

I would predict the award will go to either St. Xavier's Victor Anderson, Henry Clay's Chase Minnifield, or Male's Doug Beaumont. According to The Sporting News' "High School Football 06" issue, Minnifield is ranked #41 in the Midwest Region of the country. However, he is listed as a Defensive Back. Anderson is ranked 84th, and he is ranked as a Running Back. Beaumont is ranked #87 as a Wide Receiver. I've never seen these three young men play, but to be ranked nationally like that says something...especially when you play in Kentucky, which isn't known for producing High School Football Players. I do think it will go to one of these two men, but God knows, there are plenty deserving of the award. They just play in lower classes; Shawn Grimm (Johnson Central), Kasey Clark (Russell), Brent Slusher (Bell County), and some others. I dont' agree with 4A schools producing a large majority of the Mr. Football awards, but I'm just a spectator. What do I know?

[Ref Devil]

2005 Mr. Football - Micah Johnson, Fort Campbell

Fort Campbell is a 2A school. I don't really think Kasey will win because he plays for a very classy coach who refuses to leave kids in just to pad their stats. On several occasions this year Kasey has only played 1 quarter and has only played 1 entire game this year. He busts his butt everyday in practice and after practice to make sure he stays in tip top shape for the playoffs.

[corndog23]

Victor Anderson is the best football player in the state of Kentucky. He should, and probably will, win Mr. Football. Hopefully he backs out of his commitment to WVU i think, and becomes a Kentucky Wildcat!

[Slamdown]

Victor Anderson at Male

[TheyKnowMe]

Nobody from the mountains will ever get Mr. Football

[orisonspi]

No offense Russell fans but Clark doesn't stand a snowball's chance in Haiti... he is a phenomenal player and for my money the MVP in 2A... but.. as someone who has seen alot of football and watched Beaumont and Anderson in person..there is absolutely no comparison and geography has nothing to do with it.

Doug Beaumont, IMO, is the best football player in Kentucky. When I watched him play he was no doubt all he was billed to be as a runner, but when I left what really impressed me was his abilities on defense. In Redman's "Confusion Defense" in which all 11 men are in the box and there is single bump coverage at the wideouts, Beaumont's role as a safety is HUGE. I saw him run down three plays that would have been TD's from behind, twice, he stripped the ball and caused the turnover. Also on offense Beaumont's role as a receiver forces defenses to be honest and frees up the most underrated player in the state Adam Williams to make big plays vertically.

I have seen Clark play and he is a tremendous player, but he is nowhere near the calibur of Beaumont, or nowhere near the runner that Anderson is.

[t-cat50]

if we are putting kasey in the picture why not shawn Grimm bigger school almost the same stats and younger.

[lpd826]

I wish they would give two MR. Football awards next year one for the Class's 1A thur 3A and another for Classes 4A thur 6A

[DEVILOLOGIST]

Small school Mr Football
Big School Mr football


Or West Mr Football vs East Mr Football

[PLAYBOY5]

Grimm at Johnson Central..I would put that boy up against ANYONE in the state of Kentucky! It doesn't get any better!
