Jon Vanhoose is very close to becoming the all-time leading scorer at Russell. He needs somewhere around 20 points I think.

I have a feeling that he might be able to come up with 20 more between now and March.

Who is the all-time leading scorer at Russell High School?

This is a wonderful achievement by Jonathan particularly when you consider the outstanding tradition at Russell and the many fine athletes who have played for the school. It deserves much more publicity than it has received to date.

Who was the kid that walked on at UK in the late 80's? Was his name Chris Jones?

Bingo you win a lifetime membership in the Russell athletic boosters club.:thumb: :laugh:

I would rather have the parting gifts. :D :D

Not many people are the alltime leading scorer for their school. Great job Mr. Vanhoose. I'm really starting to feel old, I remember sitting with Jonathan's parents at a JFL game his brother was playing in and he was about 7 or 8 years old. Time sure does go fast.

 

If I remember correctly Francis was coaching in that particular game. FWIW, he was already old.

I would rather have the parting gifts. :D :D

 

I believe the parting gift is a forehead tattoo.

Listen you Monte Hall wannabe, there is no door number three here. You can't pull that junk here. I just want the fair cash value of my membership.

Classic!:banana:

Vanhoose is a great player, what is his average shot attempts per game? Most of the players who played for Coach Meredith in the 80's did not take much more than 10-13 shots per game, including Chris Jones, Ryan Watkins, Scott Humphrey, T.J. Maynard, Lance Shoulders, Steve Day, Jeff Porter, Sean McKenzie, Todd Parsley, Mark Watkins, Dave Porter, ...these guys were great but very unslefish. Vanhoose is a very good player and breaking Chris Jones' record will be a great accomplishment but teams just arent the same as they once were. I am not taking away anything from Vanhoose, he has worked hard but the above names outside of Maynard shot well over 50% from the field, Parsley and R.Watkins in the low to Mid 60's. If Vanhoose would have played for Meredith, he would have shared the wealth, and he does pass the ball NOW. I wish there was a way to have time travel and see different players from different eras compete, like a shoot out with Harold Sargent, Mickey Syndstricker, Steve Skaggs, Jeff Hall, Chuck Cantrell, Clarence Thompson, Ty Barnes and Jon Vanhoose, now that would be great. Keep working hard Vanhoose.

It would had been hard to tell jow many points that Don Ratliff, Harold "Weasel" Ratliff, Hensley in t e70's amoung others would ghave had if the three pt. shot would had been in effect then. Vanhoose is very good and will be deserving of the honor but it just makes some of us "old guys" wonder where they would fit in on the list with the 3 in place during these other guys time.
