Looking for the names of guys who should have been named, but because the process is so flawed they didn't get the award.

 

Marty Moore from Highlands didn't win it and Marty was a beast in high school He was recruited by Alabama, but chose to stay home and go to UK. He had a great career at UK and then played in pros for New England and Cleveland; however, even as a loyal Bird fan it would be tough to argue Marty over Jeff Brohm.

 

Can anybody think of any obvious misses?

Me ; )

Damien Harris comes to mind recently

Joe Casey. Almost every "best to have not" list probably begins with him.

Justin Miller Owensboro High

I thought he didn't play FB?

There were two. One right around 2000 and that just played basketball that won 2015 basketball championship.

 

The football one played at Clemson, then the Jets, Raiders, NFL Pro Bowler and was the winner of 2007 NFL fastest man competition.

Donnie Redd, Danville, 1989. Pookie Jones won. Pookie was fantastic but in High School no one did anymore than Redd in his career or his Senior year. In fact Redd switched from HB to QB that year in the Wishbone.

Some that stand out to me in no particular order

 

Joe Casey 03 (Brohm)

Damien Harris 14 (Sindelar)

Ryan Timmons 12 (quick)

Jerrold Fuqua 98 (lorenzen)

JJ Jude 11 (Towles)

Jeremy Britt 98 (lorenzen)

 

These are just players I feel were good enough to deserve the award, not saying they are any better than that years winner...just maybe if they fell in a different year or avoided injury.

Juan Thomas of Ashland 1990. The young man simply dominated on both sides of the ball.

Chris Jennings from Fairview, played professionally for Browns and Jets and also spent some time in the CFL. Went to college at Arizona.

Derrick Smith - Highlands. Lost out to Jared Lorenzen - Highlands. He was 1st team All State on both sides of the ball as well as an All American.

2004 Brandon Smith - Boyle Co (Curtis Pulley)

 

I think that's right. ?!?!

I'll always feel like Rees Macshara should have won the award the year Antonio Andrews won it. 2009 season.

2004 Brandon Smith - Boyle Co (Curtis Pulley)

 

I think that's right. ?!?!

 

Correct. And Smith outplayed Pulley in a head to head matchup in the playoffs that year.
