I will cast my vote for ronnie lyons

I'm not a 10th region guy but I say Chris Loften has a good argument, although he was mostly known for his shooting. Reinhardt(Sp?) from Cambell Co. was tough too..as well as Ronnie Lyons...I can't go back a long ways because like I said I'm not a 10th region Guy.:thumb:

1a. Ronnie Lyons

1b. Chris Lofton

Justin Seiter was a complete player for Brossart. He could shot the 3, drive to the basket, get rebounds, and post you up. He did a really good job of adjusting his game to what his team needed him to do.

 

Chris Lofton has to be at the top though. I too am somewhat new to the 10th Region and unfortunately can't go that far back.

1a. Ronnie Lyons

1b. Chris Lofton

Good call.:thumb:

Another I forgot, Might be a sharp a shooter that I have seen was "DAVID COONEY" played at maysville or mason co I really dont remember, Think Mason Co

as good as Seiter, Rhino and Cooney were... they are not Ronnie Lyons or Chris Lofton. There are a lot of greats from back in the day were forgetting i'm sure.

Didn't Clark County have a stud back in the '60s or '70s? UK recruited him, but he went elsewhere. I can't think of his name.

No telling how many points Lyons would have scored in high school had there been a 3-point line in the late 60's. Went on to play at UK but never really starred there. No doubt that Lofton has made more of his opportunity.

I didn't think Lofton played "D" in high school. Isn't that why UK didn't recruit him????

Ronnie Lyons has my vote. I agree with mcpapa on the 3 point line. He would have the record in Ky if they had the 3 point shot then. I used to work with ronnie at Lexmark. He is a very nice person. His problem at UK is Joe Hall just did not care for him...

I have ofton wondered what justifies a player as the best ever within the region. I think the title says best all around player, not the best shooter of all time. Does shooting from wherever on the court, however many times a person wants, and scoring x amount of points make one the best ALL Around player? This would be a hard call as there are so many deserving. What do others on here think of qualities that make up a ALL AROUND player? To me that player is the go to person, the defense specialist, the guy that can play and perform on both sides of the basketball.
