Jim Bevins, How do you leave him out of the discussion.

Jimmy would be the very next one on my list at #5.

 

He was a fantastic football player, and IMO the best all around athlete to ever walk the halls of BHS.

I was rocking my Belfry Pirates t-shirt today in NKY! Still have the one you sent me.

Never goes out of style.

Where did Doug play college ball? I was thinking Marshall but I'm not 100 percent sure. That team was fun to watch.

Doug was offered a scholarship to Western Kentucky but turned it down. I think he was holding out hope for an offer from Marshall. Also I think he didn't want to be that far away from home as his father was not in good health. Marshall only offered a walk on as I understand it. He ended up playing at Pikeville but had a couple of injuries and only played one season. He lives locally, works for Norfolk Southern Railroad and is married with a beautiful little girl.

Howard didn't get the shot that Jones did, but Howard was the better back, jones may have had more college potential... But Howard was a beast...

 

Not to take away from jones either. Those may be the best duo of all time ...anywhere in ky.

 

I agree, Jimmy Bevins could do it all... We would practice 3 times a day and then watch film at camp and he would still get up at 5AM to fish. He would be cleaning fish while teammates ate breakfast.

 

During non camp summer weeks he would shoot clay pigeons between practice. He seemed to have every athletic skill.
