Top 25 Players in the last past 25 years(1980-2005) in your region??

[WILDMAN]

I would agree with Bo Roaden, but not some of those others. Sure they all were good players but not tops in the past 25 years. I was speaking of the Akal that coaches @ Cumberland (Derrick).

 

I can see what you are saying but I honestly think that Josh Brock and Rick Jones are legit from Corbin.

 

Rick was on pace to be a Mr. Basketball while at Corbin but went to Scott County and won it instead.

 

Brock was a 4 year starter and helped lead Corbin to two 13th region titles and a 29-2 record his senior year. He averaged around 17 points his sophomore, junior, and senior years.

I agree with you oldschooler....I graduated from Male with Johnny, he's a great guy. I just didn't want to be pro-Male with this list, so I left him off. But I agree should be on the list.

Draud is pretty much a 9th region legend, Harney was good but Draud was a scoring machine.

Harney isn't at NKY legend? Not to many people from the 9th have his resume.

Obviously was a very good player - went D1 - strong resume.

 

However, to put him above the all-time leading scorer who played without benefit of a 3 pt line is hard to digest.

One of the best within the time frame listed in the 11th is Michael Allen from Bryan Station. Vince Taylor was in the 70's. Winston Bennett definitely belongs and another name missing was Manuel Forrest. Both of these guys were Parade All-Americans

Ravi Moss UHA, belongs over a few of those on the list.

Phillip Cotton Dawson Springs, led the state in scoring as a senior.

Rashidian Allen Providence, was a handfull.

Albert Jackson Hopkins County Central, was an impact player for a few years.

Matt Fraliex Caldwell County, will replace someone real soon on pace to outscore cousin and coach Michael Frailex.

25. Big kid from Walton, graduated in 85 or 86, went to Wright St., but had back problems that shortened his career. Can't believe I can't remember his name.

 

I know who you are talking about too. The name is at the tip of my tongue. Let me think for a while and get back to you on that one.

[83birds]

Scott Benton was the kid from Walton. And if we are creating a list of players from the last 25 years there is no way that Willie Schlarman is not on this list. Possibly even Tom Freppon from NCC.

[UNDERTHEBRIDGE]

Here's some 11th region players...I'm not much for players before the mid-90's, so this is just a starter

 

Chris Current/ Frankfort

Roni Robinson/Franklin County

Jerome Givens/Woodford County

George Baker/Dunbar

Camerons Mills/Dunbar

Darnell Burton/Dunbar

Matt Heisenbuttel/LexCath

David Graves/lex Cath

Vondale Morton/Lex Cath

Shawn Fields/LexCath

Demetrius Green/lexCath

Harrison Morton/LexCath

Justin taylor/Tates Creek

Vince Taylor/Tates Creek

Steve Miller/Henry Clay

Aaron Dunaway/Henry Clay

Lamont Campbell/Henry Clay

Robert Madison/Lafayette

Vince Sanford/Lafayette

Prince Stewart/Lafayette

Nimbo Hammonds/Bryan Station

Barry Bowman/Bryan Station

Butch Jointer/East Jessamine

Marquis Estill/Madison Central

Kenneal Jenkins/Madison Central

 

I'm getting tired now, so that's all I'll post.

 

To be honest, I always thought Willie Graham meant more to Lex Cath and the 2004 team than Green at times. His ACL tear in the first round of Region may be the only thing that kept Lex Cath from winning state that year. They definately would have made the sweet 16.
