Has to have been on an opposing team from "your team", and you have to have seen him in person while you were on the field, on the sideline, or in the stands.

Mike Bush

Kyle Rudolph. No question.

I'll have to think on things to figure out a single "most talented", but at first blush, these are the names that come to mind:

 

 

On The Field

Michael Munoz - Cincinnati Moeller

Jared Lorenzen - Highlands

Derek Smith - Highlands

Artose Pinner - Hopkinsville

 

 

From The Stands

Tim Couch - Leslie County

Rocky Boiman - Cincinnati St. Xavier

Mike Mitchell - Highlands

Kyle Rudolph - Cincinnati Elder

Shaun Alexander - Boone County

Ben Kinley-Danville Admirals

Mike Bush

 

Him and then Shaun Alexander I would think would be the runner up.

Travis Atwell - Hancock County

Joe Casey - Paducah Tilghman

Patrick Towles

Jason Leger

Mike Bush

 

Ditto. Amazing to see what he could do as a high school student.

James Quick.

Patrick Towles

Austin Collinsworth

Mister Cobbel

Lamar Dawson

Ryan Timmons

As a player I'd say David Simpson from Newport in the fall of 1980. Man vs boys(He was the man and I was the boy BTW).

 

We played against Franklin Simpson in the state finals that year but Joker Phillips was out sick so I didn't get to go up against him.

Kyle Bolin-Lexington Catholic

Patrick Towles-Highlands

Kelvin Turner-Danville

Damon Hood-Warren Central

JJ Jude-Johnson Central

 

Those are the players that come to mind for me.

My list is very 90's centric except for one but they are below.

 

1. James Quick - I've never seen a guy dominate KY high school football and make it look so easy.

 

2. Artie Steinmetz - I played a lot of football, against a lot of guys that went on to play in college. This guy was the most dominant player that I ever played against. No doubt in my mind that had he not been killed in an accident he would have been a NFL player.

3. Shaun Alexander - Right up there with Artie but I didn't lose the one on one battle so badly.

4. Justin Frisk - Still don't know if I've seen a smoother more fluid high school running back.
