I'd like to hear who BGPers think are the best centers out there. It's a position that not many people notice until something goes wrong! Let's give these guys some credit.

Highlands Scott Wise has been offered a ride by Murray State so I assume he has to be somewhere on the list.

Ethan Gullett has been steady for the Devils for two years now ....Under rated but not underappreciated ...

Dane Spoelker does a fine job for the Rocks in a very complicated offense. He really takes charge and delivers the ball for a team that operates from the gun about 75% of the time. He follows in the large footsteps of guys like Kerry Pappas and Wes Duke in being the trigger man in Trinity's high octane offense.

 

 

FYI, his biggest play to date may have been for a tackle while on defense, He only had one, but it was a big one.:sssh:

Andy Shulte for CCH is only a junior so im not going to say he is the best. But he has the potenial to be one of the best next year

Aaron Mullins for Breathitt County. 6'2" 225lbs. He has some of the best feet I have seen for an O line man. He's a little light in the britches but he makes up for it in fundamentals. He is pretty quick. He would probably make a great tight end in college.

Michael Walters from Ashland. A three year starter that has to be one of the strongest lineman in the state.

Dane is 5'11", 244 pounds, his replacement Payton Schweitzer (Jr), 6'1" 217 pounds and has a frame to handle more is very capable at the center spot and will be one of the top centers next year.

Kyle Pettit from Pendleton Co. he is only a junior this year.I understand he has been invited back to Michigan this weekend for the game. I believe this will be his 5th trip back to the "BIG HOUSE".

The center is a funny position. Most fans would never notice a center. Especially one who is doing a good job. But, when you have one that struggles he will stick out like a sore thumb!

I have to agree I personally think there is not a better center in the state than Kyle Pettit. I don't care what school they are from Highlands, Cov Cath, T, X. There is not a better center in the state than this kid. Not only a talented player, but he is a very intelligent kid. Where ever he goes there is a very good chance he will be an acedemic all american. Kyle is 6'3" 280lbs and strong as an ox.

I agree that Dane is one of the best centers in the state. Rumor has it that he may go to Western Ky.

 

IMO, I wished he didn't make that tackle!!

And at 6'3 and 340 lbs., he's probably one of the biggest.

Franklin County's Austin Jones will probably not top the list on talent, but the responsibility and knowledge he has of the game and the deciscions he must make on friday night is extreme, he handles it well. on every play he decides when to snap the ball, snaps it, make a front call, protection call, and also calls the run blocking.
