[champ321]

In no order:

Paul Deese
Aaron Branham

[OSIRIS]

Pete Grigsby Jr. , David Mosley, Mike Rietz, Larry Hall and Larry Crum

J.R. VanHoose - mr. basketball, state champion
John Pelphery - UK, and he coaches now
Tod Tackett - Uk - state champion

Jamie Hamilton, Brad Lowe, Shawn Scott, and I am sure there are two more, just can't think of them right now. These are from PC.

[SuperStar]

Chase Lyons and Lance Bowman. Gerry Fields and Chris Clevinger were good players also.

[SuperStar]

In no order:

Paul Deese
Aaron Branham
Matt Belcher
Eric Slone
Brandon Ratliff

No way Matt Belcher should be on this list. He was terrible overrated. I would take Robbie Spears, Justin Coleman, or T.R. Adkins ahead of him...

[SuperStar]

Ryan Shannon and Mike Hall ---guards
Rusty Tackett and Tyler Hall---forwards
Jimmy Stumbo---center....
There was a lot of good players that come from South Floyd but those are probably my top five but i really dont remember a lot of them.....

Justin Page and John Meade were both good ones. Meade was overlooked because he wasn't much of a scorer...

[SuperStar]

Shelby Valley, in no particular order:

Shannon Akers
Jeremy Johnson
Chad Bowling
Jeremy Akers
Patrick Tackett

[BCF4L]

I don't know any older players at Prestonsburg but I do know that John Ortega was one of them. Probably say the whole 96-97 team was pretty good. Probably some of the best players ever.

[DOC]

Paul Smith , Jeff "Moose" Moore, Mike Turner, Jerry McIntosh, Tyson Gross

[Superman]

Jr Vanhoose
John Pelphery
Todd Tackett
Keith Adkins
Craig ratiliff

[champ321]

Who in the world is Justin Coleman? I know he didn't play for East Ridge.

[THOMCAT]

JOHNSON CENTRAL
Howard Wallen
Mike Castle
Harry Meek
David Couch
Paul Bradley Lemaster

[SuperStar]

Oops... I actually meant Jordan Coleman. My bad.

[OSIRIS]

Thomas Jenkins,Jeremy Hall,Shawn Newsome,Phil Slone,Bruce Mullins


Mark Martin should probably be included don't you think?

[SuperStar]

For East Ridge I accidentally left of the MVP of the 2004 15th Region tournament..... Wendell Wallen :Thumbs:

[tubthumper]

Jimmy Stumbo, Ryan Shannon, Rusty Tackett, Mike Hall, and John Meade were the best players.....
They all went on to the next level and were not one demensional players.

[champ321]

Was that comment appropriate? NO I don't think so. Leave the past in the past. **** haven't you all got over that yet? It was like 2 years ago.

Wheres Seth Kiser Superstar?

[Franchise_06]

Millard High School (Which is now merged with Elkhorn City and Feds Creek to form East Ridge High)

MHS All-Time Top 5

1. C - Jason Sykes
2. C - Roger Pigg
3. G - Bill Bevins
4. G - Adam Coleman
5. F - Nathaniel Kilgore

IMO...this is the Top 5 in that particular order, some could make a good argument and if so please do so.

[Captain_44]

Millard High School all time top 5

1. Roger Pigg

2. Bill Bevins

3. Jason Branham

4. Bert Sykes

5. Jamie Rose

[basketballjones]

Millard High School all time top 5

1. Roger Pigg

2. Bill Bevins

3. Jason Branham

4. Bert Sykes

5. Jamie Rose

What about Ricky D Adkins or Robyn Chaplin or Jarod Adkins?

[Captain_44]

What about Ricky D Adkins or Robyn Chaplin or Jarod Adkins?

Those guys are good choices but just look at my list

Roger Pigg - Millard's all time leading scorer and rebounder

Bill Bevins - A good scroer who scored over 1,000 points in his career

Jason Branham - A great! Rebounder was second or third in the state his senior year

Bert Sykes - During his junior year beofre he left for Millard they were 7-1 had beaten Pike Central and he was avg. over 20 points a game and was thought of as the best player in the 59th and was right up there in the region injuries slowled him up his senior season.

Jamie Rose - Was a great inside scorer who gave Millard a great inside game which they would lack until a few years later.

Ricky was a great player but he wasn't as good as Bill Bevins and Jarrod Adkins was a good player and carried Millard but Bill Bevins was a better player and so was Roger Pigg in his prime.

[Franchise_06]

In no order:

Paul Deese
Aaron Branham
Matt Belcher
Eric Slone
Brandon Ratliff

Drop Belcher and Deese and Add Robbie Spears and soon to be Tyler McCoy

[champ321]

I would leave Deese for ER. He was one of the reasons they made it as far as they did that season.

[JMac]

Wow those are some names that I haven't heard in years. Phillip's brother was a good ball player too. He used to come in and practice against us some in the late 80's.



Now the ones that I mention are from what I can remember, there are going to be others that I just dont remember.
1) Dave Wheeler
2) Phillip Ratliff
3) Gerad Parker

Others:
Ben Browning
Kenny Horn
Stepp ( his dad coached for awhile)
Spencer Harris

Travis Endicott

Skaggs brothers ( Brian and Brad)

[crazytaxidriver]

Chase Lyons and Lance Bowman. Gerry Fields and Chris Clevinger were good players also.


I agree with Lance but i don't know about your other 3 choices..

Chase was pretty good, but Gerry and chris weren't that good imo..

I would go with:

Jamie Hamilton
Lance Bowman
John Blackburn
Josh Williamson (he was way underrated)
Shawn Scott
Tristan Davis was good too.

I'll thik of more later..

[JMac]

I don't know if a Paintsville list can be done without Joey Couch. 2000+ points 1000+ rebounds and made the KY-Indiana Allstar team. Small group of players can say they had that distinction.

[15th Fan]

I agree with you crazytaxidriver, but I think Brad Lowe definitely deserves to be on that list.
