I just spoke on my opinion, I'm not always downgrading everyone, I said they were good, I just felt that the teams they played kinda hurts them in my eyes as far as ranking them as all time best. Stats don't mean anything when your playing Estill,Lewis, Powell,Morgan,East,West, and one other but I can't remember. All very weak teams, coach Mcglone could probably still run for 100yds on them with our team blocking for him. Lone Oak's QB set the national record for Td's, so I guess he's the best all time. He's probably not even top 50 in the nation this year. So stats don't mean a whole lot when the competition is weak. They were tremendous ball players, and Im glad to have watched them play. Glad they represented Russell well. Just because I don't feel they are the best backs of all time to ever put on pads, doesn't mean I'm downgrading the players.

But downgrading them is exactly what you were doing. You listed 6 teams on Russell's schedule in 2005. OK, what about the 7 other teams that Russell played that year such as Belfry, Mercer, Fleming, Owensboro Catholic, and Newport? Kasey Clark had 196 yds and 4 TD's in the state championship game against a very good Owensboro Catholic team. It's not Russell's fault that their schedule was rather weak except for Fleming and East that year. Both Kasey and Josh were done playing in those games sometimes by the 2nd quarter and always by halftime. I never said that I thought either one of these players the the BEST back ever at Russell but to say that they're not one of the best is just crazy. It does seem to me that everytime I read one of your post you are downgrading someone at Russell. Usually it is the coaches or the coaching though. You have your opinion but some people who know an awlful lot about football and evaluating talent think that Kasey and Josh are pretty good.
