I would love to hear more about the best running backs in Eastern KY in the last 20 years. Here are a few that I can think off. Please feel free to add more to the list! Then maybe we can do a poll on the top ten to see who everyone thinks is the best!

 

In no order, just to name a few!

 

Gross - Russell

Jones- Belfry

Thomas- Ashland

Coleman- Pikeville

Lynn Camp

Quinten Henson (5th state all time career rusher)

Trampus Hollin

Joe Melton

Nick Jackson

Malone-Russell

Hines-Russell

I just Have to put him out here by him self.

Lynn Camp's QUENTON HENSON Ranked 5th in the state all time Career Rusher. With no 400 yard games or 3000 yard seasons he was consistent. 1st team all-state running back two years in a row. (but did not make the Kentucky all-star team!! How does that happen???????????

Shawn Robbins was outstanding for Bell, as was Scott Chaney. Arliss Beach was outstanding too and deserves mentioning.

Chris Jennings- fairview

If your talking about the guy from 1990. His name was Scott Russell. Brett Colemen was a great back from Pikeville who I played against. Pikeville had many great backs but he was one of the best.
