fabfour Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Ryan Ernst posted this on the Enquirer high school blog yesterday. There have been a number of great high school football players from this region since 2003. Of course, this is subjective, and based on one person's opinion. What would your team look like? Best I've seen ... Posted by RyanErnst at 10/6/2008 5:33 PM EDT on Cincinnati.com I got into a conversation with someone the other day about the best football players I've covered in my six seasons on the Northern Kentucky beat. What would my all-time team look like? Probably something like this: OFFENSE QB: Drew Ellison, CovCath RB: Cory Farris, Boone County RB: Dustin Menetrey, Beechwood OL: Sean Sester, Highlands OL: Marcus Davis, Boone County OL: Mike Donoghue, CovCath OL: Dominic Mainello, Beechwood OL: Scott Wise, Highlands TE: Peter Sutton, CovCath WR: Josh Canafax, NewCath WR: Kurt Bovard, CovCath K: Shane Popham, CovCath DEFENSE DL: Victor Singleton, Conner DL: Justin Smith, NewCath DL: Zack Kiernan, NewCath DL: Drew Davis, Beechwood LB: Vince Murray, Ryle LB: Sam Flynn, CovCath LB: Ben Guidugli, Highlands LB: Jordan Nevels, Highlands DB: Michael Mitchell, Highlands DB: Scott Gray, Ryle DB: Austin Collinsworth, Highlands P: Josh Bleser, CovCath Thoughts? I was thinking maybe James Thomas (Newport) at receiver. But he had a shorter career and played weaker competition than the guys I have there right now. I was also thinking maybe Sam Diehl (NewCath) or Trevor Stellman (Conner) over Ellison. Did Andy Schulte (CovCath) belong on the offensive line somewhere? Does Duran Jefferson (Holmes) deserve a nod? Scott Kuhn (Conner) anyone? (For the record, this starts with the 2003 football season.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I would take Joseph Casanada at CB over near anyone. Also, I'd consider Blesser at QB instead of Ellison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roots Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Im glad to see Victor Singleton get the recognition he deserves. Great player and person- too bad he couldnt have pursued a college career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skunk Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Brandon Griffin, WR Campbell County put up some of the best numbers in KY HS football for a team that was not very talented (meaning he was the focus of every teams defense). The knock against Brandon was due to injuries, his only great year was his senior year, but he should get recognized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nkysportsblog Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 (edited) How come only 3 DB's? And were Mitchell and Gray CB's or Safeties? Because I would take Joseph Casanada at CB over near anyone. Also, I'd consider Blesser at QB instead of Ellison. I agree that Joe should be on the list at Corner. Of course, I probably would have just listed four. Edited October 7, 2008 by Ram Rule 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMZ76 Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 All of them are fine players...but he missed on quite a few. He's drunk the kool-aid on some of his picks...and hit the nail on the head on some others. I won't name names because...quite frankly...there are too many left out!

Also, I'd consider Blesser at QB instead of Ellison. I think he went 3 to keep the total to 11. Nevels could be listed as a LB or DB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodyccrr Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 I would agree Casanada. He was a nice player for Cov. I am not sure which spot he would replace but I know Mitchell and Gray are playing at two pretty good universities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry521 Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Jordan Kramer must be added at RB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cats5262 Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Stellman definately gets to be on that list. Glad to see Victor Singleton on there too, What a monster! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nkysportsblog Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Jordan Kramer must be added at RB. Over Farris or Menetrey..... C'mon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Water Boy Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Stellman over Ellison. Possibly Kramer over Menetry. I'd have to see their stats to choose, but Farris is the #1 running back for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mexitucky Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Stellman over Ellison. Possibly Kramer over Menetry. I'd have to see their stats to choose, but Farris is the #1 running back for sure. Both were good, but Menetry could absolutely dominate the game. I saw Kramer once, and I found him extremely quick and gritty. However, Menetry carried his team to the state title his senior year. He was a man amongst boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mexitucky Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 I'm glad that Canafax made the list. One of the 5 fastest kids that I've seen live in high school. He could flat out fly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
