Good list.

 

Joe Casey needs to be a RB somewhere.

Years ago my buddies in college from Mayfield raved about Lawrence Brame, a DL from (I think) Hopkinsville.

Sam Ball of Henderson has to be on the list. Probably the best OLineman to ever come out of Western Kentucky.

 

Sam Ball - Wikipedia

I was only a freshman his senior year, but I don't remember Zane Beehn playing linebacker. I know he played DL at UK and in the NFL. I agree that he should be on the list but maybe at another position.

Good list.

 

Joe Casey needs to be a RB somewhere.

 

You're exactly right. That was the name I was thinking as well.

Key additions: Bowling Green: Stuart Hines, OL, Leman Boyd, DB, Derrick Kennedy, DE; F-S Joker Phillips, ATH, Donnie Evans, DL; Glasgow- Chuck Jones, DL; Tompkinsville- Elois Grooms, DL, John Bushong, DL; South Warren- "Iggy" LB, Logan County- Joe Jefferson, DB;

I know Keith Tandy belongs on that list somewhere. Safety or Athlete, he belongs.

Colonel's hit a lot of the names I would associate.

 

 

Antonio Andrews was a bad man. Justin Miller is a lock, as is Micah Johnson. Artose Pinner definitely locked in at a RB.

 

Hated Joker as a Head Coach, but he was a heckuva football player.

 

Curtis Pulley was a freak of nature.

 

A small school name of note was Travis Atwell at Hancock County.

 

Lonnell DeWalt (Warren Central) could have been special.

Lonnell DeWalt (Warren Central) could have been special.

 

DeWalt definitely bears mentioning as a potential. He is probably the best pure athlete I've personally gotten to watch from this area. If he had played in an offense that was geared more heavily towards passing, who knows how gaudy his stats could have become. Central threw for 1,889 yards his senior year - he had 1,203 of those. He averaged 20.7 yards per reception that year.

Michael Hanley from Apollo would be on the team. Biggest question would be what position to play him at.

Any notable kickers from Western Kentucky?
