Robinson! Amazing season, great story. This kid can flat out play. :thumb:

How about Colby Fugate from Breathitt. And Ill give you a name to look out for over the next two years. His younger brother Channing Fugate will be in the talk of Mr. Football in the next two years.

If Corey Robinson leads Lone Oak to the state championship game (4A) then he should receive the award.

 

I think he will win it!

No offense but Colbey Fugate was probably the 3rd or 4th best player on the field Friday night, let alone on the same level as some of the QB's who are getting ink for Mr. Football.

corey robinson no question

Huh? Have you forgotten what X did to Trinity in September? :confused:

 

Anyone that breaks Brohm's single season TD record, come on folks, Stein hands down for Mr. Football. He is that good (scratch that) Great ...

 

None of the Belfry boys get much consideration because their stats are spread out because of the quailty depth. I am sure winning state championships is all their worried about though. I would like to see Belfry get a Mr Football award over the next few years but my vote would go to John Cole this year.

For you all that pick Fields over Farris, you need to check yourself. Farris is alot better football player and way more valuable to his team than Fields is to his. Not at all impressed w/Fields(at QB) w/the exception of his speed. He definetly is an athlete playing QB, not at all a QB though.

Does Farris play defense? From talking to the Mayfield people after they played Frankfort, they were highly impressed with Fields' ability to cover ground and make plays on the defensive side.

Maybe you can see why some folks see the Rocks at the favorite.....

 

:ylsuper:

 

If you think the Rocks are better I would agree:dancingpa

Except that this award is not "supposed" to be a career.....I agree John Cole has been flat amazing for his career, but this yaer, there are comparatives.

 

I think it is a career award. You have to be a senior to win it. The Hiesman Trophy is a season award in college because anybody can win it (fresh, soph, jr or Sr). I know some past Mr. Football winners have had their best year as a JR. and won it as a senoir when their numbers were down.

After seeing Stein at the Boone Trinity game I don't feel he should be in the discussion. Brohm was twice the quaterback, Stein is surrounded by play makers. All night in the Boone game Stein was completing very short routes and his recievers were using their athletic ability to make people miss and rack up yards. If that was how they attack every team then the recievers yards after catch have to double their initial yards. If we're going to go with a quarterback you have to pick Corey Robinson. Brohm's records are one thing, national records are another.

Maybe someone else can help me out, but you can trust my word that in Belfry's "Big" games, May has been awesome on both sides of the ball. By "big" games I will hesitantly list Belfry's competition, by no means will it compare to that of a Boone County or a Trinity, but for the seize of school Belfry is it is pretty sound:

 

 

Corbin- May ran for over 120 yards and 2 scores.

Pikeville- May ran for right around 200 yards.

Sheldon Clark (2X)- May was on the upper half of the century mark both games.

Johnson Central- Well over 100+ yards.

Somerset- Over 200 yards rushing....

 

Once again I don't have specific stats, if someone can fill them in for me, but all of the bigger games May has not only ran for well over 100 yards per game, but he has done so with minimal carries. This also doesn't include defensive stats, as May at the MLB osition has had numerous 10+ tackle games and recorded quite a few sacks and forced fumbles.

 

Needless to say, Belfry has matched up with some unbelievable individual players throughout this season, some of which have had Mr. Football mention over the past year; John Cole (Somerset), Shawn Grimm (Johnson Central), Adam Dials (Sheldon Clark), Daniel Harmon (Pikeville), and Clint Cashen (Corbin). In every game, May has been the most dominant player, let alone the best all-around player. By the dominance I speak of I rfeer to his size, ability to breka tackles, ability to capitalize in critical situations, and ability to take over the game on the defensive side.

 

With that being said, May has impressive numbers, but not eye popping numbers to stand out with Robinson, Stein, Farris et all. Additionally, May will very likely be playign on Saturday's, but he has never had stars by his name on recruiting websites like a Winston Guy, EJ Fields, or Aaron Boyd. And, he also has the misfortune of being from Eastern Kentucky, which by and large is the weakest region in the state this year on the whole, and also a perverbial black-hole for media.

 

BGP has by far the best collection of intelligent, football savy fans you could find, but I am willing to bet over 60% of this sight would be unfamiliar with May. This is a direct reflection of what a lack of media coverage can do.

 

I posted some of his individudal season stats earleir in this thread, it's hard for any player in the state to match what he ahs done over the course of his career.

 

2007: 11 games, 152 carries, 1506 yards, 25 TD (@ State Semi-Finals, 13-0 record) May is currently sharing the backfield with Ivan Lee who has rushed for over 1200 yards. May missed 2 games due to injury.

 

2006: 14 games, 242 carries, 1425 yards, 17 TD (Reached State-Semi's, 11-3 Record) May shared carries with another 1000 yard rusher in Corey Coleman, and G Epling ran for over 800 yards.

 

2005: 12 games reported, 139 carries, 1016 yards, 14 TD (Reached State-Semi's, 11-3 Record) May ended up with almost 1500 yards that season. Belfry had three 1,000 yard rushers in the backfield with Matt Maynard and Corey Coleman.

 

You hit the nail on the head, there is no way to substantiate any claims for one player or the other. Do I think Dustin May is Mr. Football? NO... not with some of the QB's out there. Do I think he is one of the top players in the state and definately one of the top 2 running backs? MAYBE, he's the best I have seen this year. Do I think he definately needss to fall on All-State first team lists somehwre? YES, without a doubt, this kid represents what high school football is all about.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Corey is correct but that was COREY CHAPMAN who is a red shirt at CONCORD University at Elkins WV.

When will we know who won Mr. Football?

 

Dont sleep on EJ Fields.
