Who was the most dominant Mr. Football player in Kentucky high school history?

[Rebel]

It's hard to compete against a 44-0 record at quarterback and 3 State Championships in 2 different classes. Jeff Duggins certainly deserves to be mentioned, but Boyle was a solid team with many different great players. I wouldn't say he was the most dominant Mr. Football.....I feel that award should go to Michael Bush with Brian Brohm a close second.

Shaun Alexander can not be the answer in that he never won the title.

Shaun Alexander can not be the answer in that he never won the title.

So Couch is out as well...

Let's see...Jeff Duggins, 3 state championship rings and he was deleted? How many football games did the Rebels lose during his reign? ZERO!! He was deleted?

 

BTW, Dennis Johnson was the Parade High School Football Player of the Year. What other player in KY has achieved that honor?

 

For high school play only, has to be between Duggins, Couch, and D.Johnson.

 

What year did DJ win it????

 

The only players I know of who won it are Couch in 96' & Redman in 95'.

 

The award has been given out since 1983.

LaVar Arrington won it that year...

I could be wrong, but I thought that Dennis Johnson was the Gatorade National Defensive Player of the year 1997.

[RebelC3PO]

My original post was incorrect. In 1997 he was named the National Player of the Year by Sports Illustrated and National High School Defensive Player of the Year by USA Today, The Sporting News and Parade magazine.

I voted for Alexander but I still marvel at Atwell's statistics. 72 TD's, 42 passing and 30 rushing is very impressive.

The answer is clearly Shaun, and his career at Alabama and in the NFL prove

that. I am pretty sure I remember Shaun playing defense alot too, and also in special teams while at Boone!

Seems like DJ and Couch were both Parade All Americans.

I voted Bush just because nobody else could do what he did in high school. There have been great RB's, QB's, WR's, kick returners and defensive guys. Nobody could do them all the way he did it!

Couch (too bad it didn't translate into the same kind of success in the pros (yet, go get'em Tim)

[samham1967]

If we are talking about one player dominating a game in high school and not who has had the best career or who was on the best team then the answer is Tim Couch by far.
