Hands down Crosley Gray for Campbell County.

 

Will he be the starter this year? Not sure we know much about him. Looks like he had less than 20 touches last year.

Hands Down, Kyle England at Ryle! Ryle will also return 4 starters on the offensive line, which is also a key to success. He averages around 6 yards a carry and has almost 1,100 yards rushing for his career. He is primed for a great year.

How you figure?

[Mr. Sixer]

While he is not technically listed as a RB, Jeremiah Lee of Cooper will be absolutely dangerous again with the ball in his hands every single play. Since starting as a freshman, he will be entering his 3rd year as a duel threat QB and teams will have to respect his improving passing ability which will allow him to take off when necessary but I'm certain Coach Borchers will have multiple designed running play packages for him much like he did with Tyler Morris back in 2012.

[Asmith2731]

How about some numbers fellas?

[Asmith2731]

Walton Verona returns their leading rusher and scorer Peyton Smith. 700 rushing yards, over 1000 all purpose yards and 14 TDs. Looks like he has put on about 15lbs and increased 40 time as well. Should be tough.

I hope the young man grows some over the summer. I worry about his body taking that beating again and staying healthy. They had him, playing offense, defense and special teams at certain points.

While ordinarily I'll agree with you, the young man probably won't grow much but then again he's not much smaller than Tyler Morris was but Tyler probably had him by maybe 10-15lbs but height wise, they are almost a carbon copy. Kid is tough as nails though.

Quincy Perrin, Scott. 4 year starter, returning 1st team NKFCA honoree. He’s already had two big years, should be in line for a big Senior year.

You'll get no arguments here. Q is REALLY good and noticed he's been on some college visits of late. Has Scott named a coach yet?

[BirdDaddy]

Joe Buten of Highlands. Probably the only RB to have the most success against CovCath in 2018 from NKY. And he was only a Soph! Excited to see what the next couple of years brings for #26.

The kid is a freak of nature! He was behind some politics last year, he should dominate Northern KY this year.

Care to explain? The very few times I saw Gray in the backfield, he either went the wrong way or missed his assignment.
