Cov Cath DE Artie Steinmetz. Cov Cath S Miles Simpson. Simon Kenton S Mike Mitchell. Cov Cath / Highlands DB Tommy Fowee. Cov Cath WR Brett Hamblin. Highlands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldercoach Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Glaring correction- Mark Pike was an awesome Tailback in his Dixie Heights' days. Bill Curry later converted him to the fulltime defensive DE/LB position. Suspect he went two ways at Dixie, but my brain is foggy on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack of all Trades Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 I will add a few guys and correct a few others. Greg Kunkel was a Tight End in high school. Tim Schulte was a Defensive Back Add these for sure: DB Jeff Kremer DL David Fischer - gives Chuck Kyle a run for his money as best lineman ever to come out of Highlands.

bulldog77 Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Add Jim Lokesak RB from Ludlow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KYSportster Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 I would put Matt O'Toole and Greg Preston, both quarterbacks at Dixie, ahead of Zeke Pike. Matt's senior year, they almost beat Trinity in the playoffs and clearly outplayed the Trinity qb that was the national player of the year and went on to play at Louisville and Greg led the Dixie team that upset Trinity in the playoffs in 2004. I believe the only NKY team, in recent memory to beat Trinity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Double Deuce Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Frank Jacobs is the TE on this team, no matter how much I like Derek Smith. Jared would be my QB if I was making the team out, and I realize there are many talented options. Shaun Alexander is THE running back, no list needed. Marty Moore and Todd Schulte are the line-backers that can be written in with a sharpie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the only NKY team, in recent memory to beat Trinity. Concur. Preston went 1AA and OToole May have as well. Neither had the pedigree/hype of Pike. But I’d take either of them.

I would put money down that Smith had double the receiving TDs/yds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatz Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 How about Jacobs is the blocking TE and D Smith is the receiving TE. I would put money down that Smith had double the receiving TDs/yds. I would also say that the QB each played with is a significant part of that difference. I don't see how you leave either off the list. :thumb: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
