Im a 13th region guy and will only comment on those players Ive seen in person and can only go back to 1972.
#1..Ritchie Farmer(Clay)..hands down best to play at the high school level.
#2...Gary Gregory(Clay)...he made defenders look silly with his ball handling skills.
#3...Ben Franklin (OBI)...silky smooth
#4...Nick Sanford (Cawood)...often looked lazy but actually the game was just easy to him.
#5...Charles Thomas (Harlan)...pull up jumper or take you to the rim...
Platoon System...
#6...Phil Cox (cawood)...if the 3 point shot had been in effect he would have scored 4500 career points
#7...Jeff Kyle (Mboro)...could not stop him
#8...Tony Pietroski (Corbin)...smart, talented and loved to win
#9...Dinky Phipps (Bville)...you try to guard him
#10...Robert Mayhall (Mboro)...Big man and good
Ive heard of the legends of the game and can only wish there was video of these athletes from the 60's and 50's...guys like, Bobbie Lee Slusher from Lone Jack..Larry Pursiful from Bell...Skimp Campbell, Ray Mills and Pearl Hicks from Clay...Frank Selvey from Corbin, (hard to argue with 100 pt game in college)..Terry Mills from Knox...Wah Wah Jones from Harlan...Dickie Parsons from Harlan...and 100 other deserving mountain players...
