I saw Chris Jones play his senior year at Danville when I was about 12 years old, and I was thoroughly impressed. Still the most formidable combination of size and speed I've ever seen on a high school field.

Pete Venable from Somerset was very similar to Jones, and they even started together in the same backfield for UK for a season, I think.

The best I ever tried (hopelessly) to tackle myself were James Fletcher ('83) from Somerset and Brian Williams ('81) from Middlesboro.

I think Venable and Jones did play together that one year.

James Fletcher looked like a stud when he was at Wayne County in '82. When he went to Somerset he looked and played even better with the talent around him.

Brian Williams was a great athlete when I saw him play at UK.
