Best QB's Ever to Play at Your School

[panthereuphoria]

I was wonderin who you all thought were the best quarterbacks ever to play at your school

[4leaf]

Im not being conceited, but I think it would have to be me or Brandon Ratilff. But to clear everything up, those are the only two I can think of that ever played QB at East Ridge.

[T-Blankenship78]

im not sure about the old-timers but Matt Branham is high on the list

[panthermania]

Matt branahm most definately...but huffman will rank up there after this season...atleast i think he will.

[crazytaxidriver]

Justin McCurry at Pike Central. He couldn't take a hit very well, but he was accurate and could throw pretty good.

[Farva]

Matt branahm most definately...but huffman will rank up there after this season...atleast i think he will.
No pm, he won't. Chase is a heck of a kid, and a heck of an athlete, but he isn't anywhere close to Matt. Matt Branham holds most every passing record at PHS, and I think he will hold those records for a long time. As far as the best ever... I don't really know. It is hard to say because the QB's Pikeville had in the late 80's and early 90's were good QB's and even better athletes but HH hardly ever threw the football, so their numbers aren't that great. Another good QB in recent PHS history is Doug Powers. This guy was 6'5 or 6'6, and had an absolute cannon for an arm. He was a good enough QB to get a scholarship to Marshall University, but Marshall had two other guys when he got there. Maybe you know them: Chad Pennington & Byron Leftwich.

[Hip-hop Box]

Tommy johnson reminds me of Texas QB.

[T-Blankenship78]

in practice the past year matt was giving chase tips and showing him the ways... if he picks the tips up IMO **** be high up there

[Farva]

Chase Huffman still has a LONG way to go to catch Matt Branham.

[panthermania]

I never said chase was as good as Matt...he is now where close...I only said he would rank high in the best QB's pikeville has had to offer.

[Farva]

He didn't do a whole lot this past year to move up on that list, so I guess we'll all just have to wait and see what he does this coming year.

[liveMAROON]

Brahnam....thats all im sayin....thats all i need to say

[coreyp04]

At Male High School, it is a tough call. Chris Redman, Gerry Ahrens, and Michael Bush were all really good. I guess I would have to say Chris Redman because he has the better numbers in both high school and college, although all three of them won a state championship.

[Beef]

Matt Branham has to be #1 for Pikeville....like it was said the championship teams ran the ball so therefore those QBs are out...and for huffman..he has no chance of catching Branham due to the lack of receivers....Matt had 3-4 good options to throw to his 10-12 grade years!

[SVHERO#74]

You know Timmy Griffith from Shelby Valley High School is pretty good if you saw him play. That is just what I think but the boy form Brehitt CO. can throw and move around and make things happen!!! :shock:

[imported_imported_torQQue]

I would have to say Nick Compton was one of the best if not the best to go through South Floyd!!

[jayblackcat2006]

Is Chris Redman still playing Pro ball? If so where at? I don't think that he is still a Raven but I'm not sure.

[MEDICINEMAN]

In Southwestern's 12 years I would say that Sam Sexton, 2003, is the best QB I have seen at SWHS. Jason Girdler,2000, and Todd Daulton 2005 are neck to neck for 2nd.

[hippo's hope]

Nick Compton was the best to attend South Floyd in my mind. Even my wife a South Floyd Alumni said it was fun just to see the Raiders play when nick was Qb. He had some D1 offers plus all kinds of ! AA schools and NAIA offers went to Morehead and redshirted but ended up not playing. I think he could still play today and been out of scholl 8 years.

[coreyp04]

I do believe Chris Redman signed with the New England Patriots right before they started the playoffs.

[Basketballer]

I would have to say Nick Compton was one of the best if not the best to go through South Floyd!!I have heard that too

[hippo's hope]

I remember the game its my alltime favorite as a SF fan well.Nicks senior year. 4th and 1 on the 40 down 4 to pikeville 1:30 on the clok in the 4th Q. Coach calls a QB sneak to keep the drive alive, all 22 players are in a pile when some how Nick comes out of the side and runs 60 yards for a TD (SF beats Pikeville).
Best football game ever at SF

[Wyatt Earp]

AA schools and NAIA offers went to Morehead and redshirted but ended up not playing. I think he could still play today and been out of scholl 8 years. He was a dandy and played tough on defense also. Had one of the best hits I have seen at the Brackett one night. Great attitude in football and basketball. Must run in the family. Somebody is doing something right.

[Redneck]

Paintsville:

David LeMaster
John David Herald
David Castle
Chas Harmon

[dirty30]

Matt Branham has to be the best QB from Pikeville. He holds every record there is excpet most completions in a game, which is held by Ben Howard with 28 in the 1998 game vs. Lynn Camp and Longest Pass held by Jason Howard and Gene Pinson (90 yards). So Branham has to be the best from Pikeville.
Here are the records he holds:
Passing Yards-
Game 496(1999)
Season 3395 (1999)
Career 6015 (1997-2000)
Total Receptions 229 (1999)
Touchdown Passes 40 (1999)
Completions-
Season 200 (1999)
Career 360 (1997-2000)

[SuperMario]

Tim Couch was the best from where i am from...
i moved to pike county right after he graduated high school...
Justin Mccurry was the best ive seen at my school now

[Wyatt Earp]

I would say TC was a pretty good lock. I sure hope he gets the chance after surgery to get a new start somewhere.

[spxdad]

Hey Panthers, Short memory?
Here's mine in order:
1. Jason Howard, possibly the best decision maker ever in maroon(hall of famer)
2. Matt Blair, led to first state championship
3. Frosty Davis, led a talented AA Pikeville team( HallofFamer)
4. John Venters, great option QB ( halloffamer)
5. JP Blair, great arm in the era before all of the passing
6. Ben Howard, tough, smart, great accuracy (future hall of famer)
7. Bill Staggs , great leader, great on the option, (Hall of famer)
8. Matt Branham, lots of records-not much to show for them
9. Roger Dale Caudill, led to state finals
10.Doug Powers, terribly overrated

[G*O*A*T]

by far Matt Branham he is unbelievable but chase huffman is still young with great receivers like Matt Sexton the only thing Chase as to improve on is his Accurate because if u ever really watchjed him he has a great arm and speed we all no that but right no i'll have to say Matt

[dirty30]

I completely forgot about Bill Staggs...he should definately be up there...I know him, hes a great guy...he played a little before my time but after looking at his plaque in the Hall of Fame at Pikeville the man has truly accomplsihed a lot at his career in Pikeville...great athlete, even better guy! He's been somewhat of an inspiration for me in my life...

[Superman]

At Paintsville, i doubt many would question on saying that Coach David LeMaster was the best in its school history.

[the love for the game]

well my guy is kind of young but he has great talent and can take a hit i think bobby hughes will be a great player

[Raider_Girl]

I would have to agree w/ torqque in saing that Nick Compton was probably the best Qb that came out of Sf.

The pikeville game was also my favorite, littlej.

[Doc Holliday]

I would say you are correct Raider girl.
But at my school

It would have been Rocking Robbie

[imported_imported_torQQue]

Robbie was great one DOC!!

[Doc Holliday]

Didnt you play with a pretty good option QB back in the day that went undefeated in the conference way back when
with the name of J Ray. of course we are talking when you first started playing

[Amun-Ra]

Nick Compton by far...
i would have liked to played with him...

[imported_imported_torQQue]

Doc im not sure.. Nick started all my senior year when he was a freshman.. I did play with J Ray my junior year..My sophomore year was a good year at Wheelwright.. Teter at QB, Muntu, Arnold and Steven Jackson in the backfield. ONly game we lost was in the district was to Pikeville at Pikeville. Wheelright was 5 in the mountain top 5 and Pikeville was 1.( Thats when JI Joplin, Blair and Daramus played) Anyway, Muntu had a chance to win the game with 0 time on the clock. He broke loose for a td in the closing seconds on a kickoff return that was called back for a holding.. After that year everything went down hill when SF(SFs first year) lost several players and was put on probabtion for having a couple ineligible players.. We had to forfeit every game. I think we where 4-0 when that all happened..

[Doc Holliday]

I thought you played with him say when you first started.
When muntu rodney and steven hall were in the backfield

[Doc Holliday]

When you were wearing an orange uniform

[imported_imported_torQQue]

Yes, I wasnt going that far back far.. But that was a heck of a football time.. Man somone use to kill us with the money in the middle and the cage...

Never will forget the pipe..

[Doc Holliday]

PVC BABY PVC lol

I doubt many will have a clue.

[RaiderCrazy]

even though I was just a youngster I remember the PVC....lol.... and I do agree Nick Compton is the best QB BY FAR to come out of SF.

[Showtyme]

I would agree littlej, that is my favorite game too. Everyone knew what play was coming and he still went on to score. Nick was an awesome QB.

[JKWON33]

Johnson Central - Casey Musick

Paintsville- David Lemaster, Jon Holbrook, Jeff Baldwin, Tony Mayes, Chas Harmon

[Superman]

Some other good qb's from Johnson Central besides Casey Music, were Gary Fitzpatrick, Bj Daniel, and Billy Johnson.

[gish]

Aaron Tucker or Thomas Ratliff one from Prestonsburg, but I'm only 19 so I can't remember much farther back then that.
Joey Willis holds the school record for passing yards so he could definately be mentioned.

[Hurley]

PC
Agility- Justin McCurry
Smarts- Chase Snodgrass
Arm- Justin McCurry

[Red and Black]

Thomas Ratliff and Joey Willis from Pburg, both led pburg to their only state championship appearances, Greg Dixon was also a good QB in the 70's.

[eastkyridgerunner]

The best QB i ever watched play for Lawrence County was Jason Michaels. He graduated in 98. He went on to play at Western KY and led them to a bowl game victory his senior yr. Hes an assistant coach at Tennessee now.

[sportwhiz]

Johnson Central - Casey Musick

Paintsville- David Lemaster, Jon Holbrook, Jeff Baldwin, Tony Mayes, Chas HarmonJeff Baldwin is someone everybody forgets. In '85 he led them to the State championship game. That team was very average until the second half of the Pikeville game. Pikeville was ranked #1 or 2. Pikeville was up 21-7 at the half. Paintsville was a run oriented team. The coaches finally figured they had nothing to lose and started throwing the ball. Baldwin led them to a 42-0 pasting of a very good Pikeville team in the 2nd half for 49-21 win. He threw at least 5 TD passes.

That team went on a roll with a more balanced attack led by Baldwin.

[J Mullins]

watson ritchie.........
yea right

[TATE_64]

At South Floyd the best by far is Nick Compton......

Some other good ones are
Terrance Mullins, Aaron Hall, Charlie Williams.......

[ilovethisgame]

I'd have to say that the best QB to ever play at Leslie County was Tim Couch. He may not be much now, but he was the greatest back in his high school days!

[TATE_64]

I'd have to say that the best QB to ever play at Leslie County was Tim Couch. He may not be much now, but he was the greatest back in his high school days!
Id say he was...lol

He will be back in the pro's now..... Clevland messed his whole career ujp....... When he gets healthy again he will be alright imo..........

[caudillpimp]

In the 80's KCC had an Estep kid that was tough I cant remember his name but I heard he got a D1 scholarship They havent had anything else but he was good. By the way, the state hasnt had a better QB than Tim Couch. Brian Brahm broke a couple of his records but u got to look at what they all had to work with. Brahm is in the same boat now though, not starting just like Couch I wish him better luck.

[Jonny Pizzle]

I would have to say that Paul Deese is the best QB to play at East Ridge. Vanover and Ratliff where good too, but IMO Deese was a little better.

[erfan2006]

Im not being conceited, but I think it would have to be me or Brandon Ratilff. But to clear everything up, those are the only two I can think of that ever played QB at East Ridge.I would have to agree with you, you guys were the best!

[theswag]

Paul Deese was a showboat and a bad influence on our team... but he was a good player when he wanted to be.

[Jonny Pizzle]

I think Paul was good all the time. Given, he did do some stuff, but he still was the MVP of the team and main reason we got so many offensive yards.

I don't know if you all or jealous or what, but he's a good QB.

Paul was the main reason we did so sucky. he was the sole reason we lost the Magoffin Co. game cause he didnt throw the ball to Kyle Fletcher, Andrew or Moka when they were wide open. and him getting MVP was just a Fluke.

[J Mullins]

i was kidding about watson ritchie but matt branham was the best

I still don't know what you are talking about. How is he the reason we did so sucky? I like how everyone remembers when he did something wrong but seemingly forgets when he does something good. Against Sheldon Clark, he was a big reason we won that game. He picked apart the SC secondary in the 2nd half and ran the ball good with his legs.

Quit trying to blame the 2-8 record on one man that looked like he did alot of the work. It's a team effort, Paul didn't go 2-8 and isnt the reason we sucked. Everyone played a fair part in that Mr. Swag.... Except you, you were too busy watching from the bench :wink:

im so sorry for having Meningitis and almost being paralyzed. did that inconvenience you in any way? if it did, im very sorry, i was busy having a 4 inch needle driven into my spine to get a sample of spinal fluid. And you know very good that i played every chance i could.

[Jonny Pizzle]

Swag, I understand you had menengitis... but when you were healthy on the field... you didn't get any playing time either. You might have gotten in when they couldn't find the right person, but thats where it ends at.

[theswag]

Apparently you dont understand.... i played every chance i got. i was second string Defense for Steve Thacker. When Big Steve needed a break, i was on the field for him. I also played in Brock Taylors position, just not as much as i did for Big Steve.
And i dont think you played much either. What did JP play, IF he played at all?

[Jonny Pizzle]

Don't worry about me Swag.... Most of the time I saw that Keith Miller kid playing nose when Steve needed a break. Or did I imagine that? :roll:

[theswag]

Don't worry about me Swag.... Most of the time I saw that Keith Miller kid playing nose when Steve needed a break. Or did I imagine that? :roll:

yeah, im pretty sure you imagined that, unless it was one of the later games when they started putting David and Keith on nose when I was tired after playing for Steve

[Battleground]

:D

[Battleground]

:D dont forget Jermy Hollbrook rednek

[TEAM]

Justin McCurry was not only the best quarterback I've seen come from my school, he was one of the best if not THE best to come out of the 15th region. He had the arm, he was quick, he definitely had the smarts(his numbers showed that)!!!!! He had the exact tools any young man needs to advance to the next level.

[Tomcat68]

Ian Holbrook is probably the best ever at Ashland now.

[I was the greatest]

jessie watts from sheldon clark used to hold the national record for passing yards in a single game in the early 90's it was 600+ i think matney's prodigy can get the exact #

McCurry was a lot like the Pike Central team. Very, very average are the kindest words you can get out of me.

wow.. 600 yards passing in a high school game is quite impressive. I wonder who holds the record now?

[Matney's Prodigey]

From Sheldon Clark 2 names come to mind when you talk of great quaterbacks. #1 would have to be Jessie Watts because he did set the national record for passing yards in a single game (651 yards in 1991 against Allen Central). #2 I think should be Nathan Moore. He did not have the biggest numbers but was a winner in every sense. He always played his best games in the biggest games (just ask P'burg and Ashland). Others that could be mentioned are Harley Hammonds a very hard nosed football player that had a nack for winning, and was on 98 regional championship team. Kendrick Damron could be mentioned, but he was not a great QB, just a good football player. Was probabley better defensive player, but played very smart and was as hard nosed as they come.

[Matney's Prodigey]

wow.. 600 yards passing in a high school game is quite impressive. I wonder who holds the record now?

David Koral of Pacific Palisades set a national single-game passing record a couple years ago. Koral completed 39 of 59 passes for 764 yards and seven touchdowns in a game against Grant (Van Nuys) California. That was in 2000 I believe.

I concur withe Fatman on this. Great talent in Mike and his father as coach.

[BlackcatFootball08]

At Prestonsburg probably Joey Willis 2001 State team, Ratliff 1993 state team which my uncle played on, and Trevor Compton

[team_scout_13]

Aaron Mitchell from a couple years ago at Lynn Camp. He was All state. Im not really to sure about his stats. I just know that he was great.

[Red and Black]

BCF who was the uncle that played on that team?

Tony Mays from Paintsville (Class of 82').


I strongly agree with Tony at Paintsville

[Amun-Ra]

for SF no brainer... Nick Compton.

[imported_torQQue]

for SF no brainer... Nick Compton.

I would have to agree with ya there VV:rock: :shh:

[HappyGilmore]

Belfry

Dwayne Francisco
Grady Moore
Gary Smith
Paul Howard
Jonathan Wright

In no particular order, and it doesn't date back very far because I am not really familiar with those before the late 70's & early '80s.

[orisonspi]

My thoughts:

Justin McCurry may very well be the best in PC's lackluster history...but he is FARRRRRRRRRR from being one of the best to come out of the 15th region... he had an average arm, decent agility, and poor decision making. Look at what he did against quality competition and check his stats....

Belfry... the first name that comes to mind for me are Jonathan Wright for a passing QB (though he never met his potential), and Grady Smith, Dwayne Francisco, and Paul Howard as option QB's.

I would rate JP Blair and Ben Howard above Branham for Pikeville.

Surprised there arent more Pburg voices here...for my money i would choose Seth Hyden for the Blackcats.

[BlackcatFootball08]

Is Chris Redman still playing Pro ball? If so where at? I don't think that he is still a Raven but I'm not sure.

Im pretty sure about this but he is a pat since the playoffs started last year

[#7]

im gonna have to say that jimmy newsome was a pretty good quarterback, but you all brobably ave no clue who he was
he was the quarterback in the 1973 season when pikeville went for the first time to the kentucky high school state championship under none other than hillard howard in his rookie season
beef mught know him

but matt branham is still the best

[BC75]

Dave Shaffer #9

[98]

Wow, I'm not sure. I guess I would have to say Eddie Eviston, 3 time NAIA Player of the year at georgetown, and won a couple of National Chamionships there too.

Problem is he never played QB in High School, just when he got to college.

[BlackcatAlum]

Well, Joey Willis and Trevor Compton of my time ! Dave shaffer would be awsome but he has no weapons at WR.

[Superman]

Dave shaffer has a great arm, but his accuracy isnt good at all. A team can have great WR's, but if you dont have a qb that can throw it to them then you cant use em'. Pburg made the right move in letting the hughs kid play qb, because i think Dave would be a better fit at TE.

[BC75]

Big Dave Shaffer P Burg

[SeaOfRed]

Chris Redman is now with the Tenneesse Titans as thier 3rd string QB, he had a try out for New England, they took someone else instead and the following week Redman tried out for the titans and they signed him the next day.

Jason Michael is now an assistant with the Oakland Raiders, he was a GA at tenneesse for 2 years before signing with the raiders. He led the Hilltoppers to the national championship, it wasn't a bowl victory.

Also on a side note, another mountain boy is shaking up the college world down there in topper country, Who might have been the best QB to play in Breathitt, and they have a had a few goodones. I hope noone has forgotten about Justin Haddix

[lchs_88]

Nick Scalf from Lynn Camp

[Batpuff]

I would say for Lawrence CO.
Jason Michael ( went on to win National Champion as QB for Western Ky coaching staff with the Raiders)
Alan Short - Played at Cumberland and now on coaching staff at lchs

just to name a few.

[Tomcat68]

Jason Michael was incredible. That was one boy who knew how to hide a football. You had to tackle every back on the field to stop his offense.

[thetribe]

Brandon Ratliff
Jeremy Ratliff
Paul Deese were the best three to play at ER, not in any order.

Justin McCurry from Pike Central WAS an amazing player. Great football player and a good guy. He was getting one of his tattoos when I was getting mine as well. Nice guy.

[Tomcat68]

Who was the QB for Perry County Central a couple years ago? I remember playing against him. He was an excellent QB, I just don't think he had a good enough team around him.

[MR.INCREDIBLE]

was it allan holland tomcat, he was there 2000-03

[Elm street]

Ian Holbrook, Ashland tomcats

[Tomcat68]

Yes Allan Holland. He was a great QB for Perry County.

[ooh-rah_hitgurl]

Nick Scalf is doin' pretty good for the camp this year....whether or not he's the best i dunno for sure....but he is one of the best..... :Thumbs:

[BC75]

i thought Joey Willis was good

[blackcat]

Willis and Compton.

[blackcatfan_48]

i think that joey willis and trevor compton were the best qb's at pburg

[Paper Boy]

I think Michael has to be the best Lawrence County ever produced, but not by an immense margin over Alan Short.

However, the best pure athlete to play QB at LC was Dontae Wright, bar none. He instantly changed games with the ball in his hands.

Was great to see some names from the past in this thread -- Dwayne Francisco, Blair, Mays. Great players.

One of note at Ashland I remember was Chuck Broughton.

At Paintsville, wasn't Chuke Williams a pretty fair option QB back in the day? Anybody remember that far back?

Anybody remember how tough Bill Allen was at Morgan County?

And as far as P'burg QBs go, I'll take Trevor Compton for $1,000, Alex. But Willis was good, too.

[CatDawg]

Showing your age PB showing your age.

[Paper Boy]

Yeah, probably...

But at least I can remember some of these folks (at least til I drink more diet pop)!

[CatDawg]

LOL my memory is already gone. I can't remember yesterday.

[VINCE VEGA]

The Blair Brothers Were The Best For Pikeville, (matt,j.p.). Both Were Great Throwing Qb's They Just Didnt Have To.

[catdaddy93]

The best passing QB Johnson Central ever had was Alex Ward. He had the bad luck to play for a coach who loved to run the ball, but a couple of times he was yard for yard with Tim Couch in games against Leslie Co.

[Atwood]

Ben Howard
Ian Holbrook
Chas Harmon
Neil Warren

All from different schools

Wasn't Ward a really good baseball player?

He had a really good arm, but was kind of erratic at times.

Yeah, Ward was all state in baseball. He was like 10-0 pitching his sr. year and he went on to play baseball at Pikeville College and was the player of the year for their conference his sr year there

i would have to say my hero even though hes a moron alan mitchell who played for the lynn camp wildcats a long time ago now hes a coach for lynn camp and a good one at that just ask nick mills

Thats what I thoguht, but I wasn't sure.

I think Michael has to be the best Lawrence County ever produced, but not by an immense margin over Alan Short.

However, the best pure athlete to play QB at LC was Dontae Wright, bar none. He instantly changed games with the ball in his hands.

Was great to see some names from the past in this thread -- Dwayne Francisco, Blair, Mays. Great players.

One of note at Ashland I remember was Chuck Broughton.

At Paintsville, wasn't Chuke Williams a pretty fair option QB back in the day? Anybody remember that far back?

Anybody remember how tough Bill Allen was at Morgan County?

And as far as P'burg QBs go, I'll take Trevor Compton for $1,000, Alex. But Willis was good, too.you would take compton over willis then you are not in your right mind willis was hands down 10 times better than compton

[Paper Boy]

you would take compton over willis then you are not in your right mind willis was hands down 10 times better than compton

You might think so from your observations, but what I saw told me Compton threw it with a quicker release, made faster decisions and was much deadlier on his feet than Willis.

I am by no means saying you are wrong, just that my observations were different than yours. If that puts me out of my right mind, then point me to the rubber room.:Geek:

Ian Holbrook and Ryne Salyer were two really good quarterbacks who played at Ashland.

Allen Wayne Holland was a great quarterback for Perry County Central, he threw the ball very well, and he was extremely hard to tackle because he was so quick and agile.

Dustin Grutza from Mason County is another great quarterback i can remember, he really impressed me with his patience and his ability to throw. He was also a very good scrambler.

[Amun-Ra]

He was a dandy and played tough on defense also. Had one of the best hits I have seen at the Brackett one night. Great attitude in football and basketball. Must run in the family. Somebody is doing something right.
i thought he was helluva safety or i guess it was monster back..
he put a guy in the ambulance one night up at Brackett.

didn't he graduate last year i think he is the starting qb for cinci if i am not mistaken....

Grutza graduated 2 years ago. He was originally supposed to go to Wake Forest but I believe you are correct that he is now at Cincinnati. His best receiver, and I believe Kentucky Mr. Basketball, Chris Lofton, has been starting for Tennessee basketball since his freshman season.
