Thank you and glad to hear, he's doing well. I met him, while wearing the halo.

Your are welcome. It was a tough thing to go through for a young kid with a promising future. It just shows us that there is no guarantee for tomorrow so make the most of the opportunity you have today.

He was in town last year for a Ram game & we shared many memories of times gone by. Great guy with a great family. His dad was a very knowledgeable basebal man back in the day.(70's)

Heres a hard hit...

:thumb: Nice!!!!

The hardest hit I ever took in a game was from Fairview's Tim Mullins. The bad part was that he was a good friend of mine. I would have hated to be his enemy.:lol: Thanks Mo!! for the memory (loss!!!):confused:

Yeah, I hear those leather helmets didn't offer much protection:lol:

In the Ashland - Prestonsburg game in 2005, Adam Cannoy laid down one of the hardest hits I have ever seen on any level! The hit actually led to the coaches meeting at the 50 yard line and almost getting into it! They also had to end the half early because of the controversy over the perfectly legal hit.

I owe you for that one!! If I remember correctly there was some guy that wore # 75 that was a team mate of mine so I am pretty sure we had the same headgear!!!

:cry: :cry: Not cool man. I sure wish I had some pictures of Bishop destroying would be tacklers.:thumb:

There has to be a tie in my memory. 1st taking on lead blocks and runs from Chris Hogan, Mike Gentry, Ted Fouser 1988 Woodford Co . 2nd 1988 against Lincoln Co. Hauled off in the meat wagon. AAA competition in the 80's were tough.:fight: :fight: :fight: :fight:

Best Single Hit- Broch Allen of Paris at Paintsville in 1993.

 

Best Hitter- Kevin Murphy of Mason County, 2003. Had 4 big hits against very good players, in big games, all legal hits- no flags.

 

Most physical game- Paris at Corbin, 1989. Corbin won a close one. The next day I took 3 or 4 of our kids(Paris) to the sports medicine clinic in Lexington. There were several Corbin kids there as well. Nothing season ending, but banged up pretty bad from a very physical game.

Is that Springlemeyer?

Now that's what I'm talking about, not a single hit, but a game where both teams were beat up afterwards.

:thumb: wow that was a shot..:creepy:

I remember the Boyle-Rockcastle state championships to be very hard hitting affairs. One hit by Boyle's LB was so late after the whistle but it was quite possibly one of the hardest hits ive seen on Rock's WR.

Without naming names, wasn't a player from Raceland paralyzed in a football games, as a result of a hit, in the late 70's or early 80's?

 

That player was Frank Brown. I can name names i guess he is a part of my families extended family. He can still throw a heck of a pass at a family reunion.

NFL game

 

When the Broncos and Chiefs played. I think one hit was on Monday night Steve Atwater hit Christian Okoye. That hit changed Christian Okoye life. He never was the same. It wasn't the greatest hit of all time, but I think it was memorable. There are so many hits. I mean Ronnie Lott had some good Monday night hits. THe hit on Anotnio Freemen against the Vikings have to rank up there. Just watch you just got "JACKED UP" every Sunday night.

 

I think that Jefferson at RIdgemont High had a hitting clinic for the Lincoln High School for smashing his car.

 

Don't forget the "Water Boy" either.
