I saw Joe Casey run for over 400 yards in three quarters against Franklin-Simpson in a playoff game. So yeah Joe Casey.

This thread is basically just asking "roughly how old are you?!"

The answer for me is Joe Casey.

Scary, my pick is by far the oldest so far, maybe no one else here has picked McDonald due to this but heck I'm nowhere close to as old as McDonald thank goodness.  😂

If I would have picked with my age it would have been Bryan Hall or Josh Forrest lol.I grew up with Kurt Barber and George Wilson speaking to our teams and classes in the city and county schools.I Had the pleasure of watching in person a lot of Joe Casey’s games,and I’ve yet to see another running back to come out of this state with the talent he had.

Joe Casey was unreal!

My son (who I won't name in here) comes to mind first, who played so hard that he would lose 8-12 pounds during practices and games routinely,depending on the temperature. He went with everything he had every play, and doing it all 3 phases of the game. 

Outside of my homer pick though, Joe Casey and Billy Jack Haskins came to mind first.

Buzz Peel was the best overall athlete at PT. It's not even close.

Had to be somewhat close. Joe Casey was a First Team Parade All-American, and if I remember correctly the other RB was Adrian Peterson.
