For Cawood High School:

 

Phil Cox

Nick Sanford

Blake Hubbs

 

In order of oldest to youngest. I really don't know who was the best, but these three players are always the argument.

In my opinion Larry Stamper was the best ball player to come out of Lee County. He led the Bobcats to the State Semi Finals where they lost in overtime to Louisville, Seneca. There's a pretty good article at http://www.kentucky.com/mld/kentucky/sports/columnists/mark_story/11134821.htm i advise those who attended small schools to read and for anyone at that matter.

Another Lee County great that has been forgotten is none other than Orvis Spencer. Spencer as a sophomore helped take the Bobcats to the Sweet 16 in '73 but were defeated in the first round. After his sophomore year the 6'10'' center's glory days seemed to fade due to whatever...I'm really not sure what happened, i'm assuming maybe personal issues. If anybody remembers when Orvis played please respond to help others know how good he was and how good he COULD HAVE BEEN had whatever happened gone the other way. I'm too young to have watched either of these two play but if anybody has any stories please share...

Blake is not of the same level as Nick or Phil, he had no college offers and both of these players were stars at the next level. I really like Blake but he is not in the top ten best players to play at Cawood. My top ten would be Sanford, Cox, Coldiron, L Rhymer, D Hensley, H Jordan, D Parks, M Howard, E Eads, H Turner.

Hubbs and Hearld are in my top 10.

 

Howard and Turner were good players on good teams, but they were role players the way I remember. I don't remember Jordan, but I do know those teams weren't very good.

NBA HOF: Dave Cowens - Newport Catholic

Ross was a very good player, but not the best to come out of that athlete factory. Draud, Smith, and Walz would have something to say about that...

 

The head man now wasn't to shabby back in the day...good ole' slick Willie

You remember Ronnie Lyons?

 

Id say you could have added a lot of points to his total if there was a 3 point line,Great Player.
