Impressive list. Doug Smith would have been in a league of his own if we could count him!

Adam "Bird" Tackett from Greenup 96-99

Can't, could'nt and wanted to jump would have to include Steve Day. And one of the best leapers I ever saw was Mark Watkins, loved some of his dunks at Dreamland !!!

Clarence Thompson honorable mention? I saw him SHATTER a backboard in practice! As for Greg Whitlock, he could dunk with his elbows.

I'm pretty sure that Antonio Owens had some hops.

Agreed Antonio "easter" Owens had hops from Boyd co.

who is that???????

The best player in the region last year.

Looking at the lists....how can Morgan County's Ryan Williams be left off?

 

At 6'1" with big hair....his vertical may very well be the best I've seen in 15 years.

 

Was Ohio/Kentucky All Star game slam dunk champion...

 

With no disrespect to current players mentioned above, they simply pale in comparison to leaping and dunking of the basketball....and actually the Cougars have a very good video of the dunking competition between Ryan Williams and fellow player James Fyffe 5'10"....Fyffe had an unreal leaping ability as well...

What was the kids name at Greenup Co that played for Ward a few years ago? Nickname was Bird.

Put Maynard on the no vertical team. But he did have flying elbows.

D Bradley Geenup 5-9 center could put his elbows on the rim.
