There's no school, like old school:

Bob DeMoss, Dayton 1944 - 1st team C-J All- State and Sweet 16 All-Tournament Team from Dayton's state runner-up team. Chose to play football only, as a QB at Purdue. Was later head coach of the Boilermakers. 

DeMoss was the starting QB at Purdue for all 4 years he attended.

Some others who have come to mind:

Deron Blasingame - Highlands

Bill Blasingame - Ludlow 

Antonio Campbell - Holy Cross

NIck Simpson - Highlands 

Scott Bibbins - Holy Cross

Brennan Votel - Covington Catholic 

Marcus Johnson - Conner 

Todd Jacobs - Covington Catholic 

[Runcible Owl]

Old school - part deux:

Dave Hickey, Holy Cross 1965 - C-J All-State and Sweet 16 All-Tournament Team for the Indians' state finalists.

Dave was a three year starter at DI Creighton University.

Arez Henderson - Holmes 

Help me with a name guys. Big strong guy, played for Holmes, probably graduated around '06 or '07. I think that he played college ball somewhere like Illinois St. 

Previous to Holmes winning the Sweet 16 in '09, this guy was on a couple of the other Holmes teams that went far in the Sweet 16, but din't win it all. His name just will not come to me. Big guy, great player.

Derek Smith and Jared Lorenzen was a great duo at Highlands.

Three straight regional titles. Derek Smith was a heck of a basketball player.

Adding old school names:

Lloyd Poore, Walton Verona

Carl Foster, Newport Catholic

Side note: Newport Catholic is #5 in Kentucky in all time wins. 

[Voice of Reason]

A couple Holy Cross names to mention:

Andre McClendon

Erik Goetz - Goetz is one of the few N. Ky. players in state record books. He is #5 all time in state history in career assists. He has the #4 highest single season assists total. And yes, this is current Beechwood coach Erik Goetz.
