Lance 228 Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 Scammell, Rutherford, Marcum, Dales, Coleman...all good backs at Grundy...Garon is the only one with a chance to do anything this year though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldskool 10 Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 Brent Surface was good but he never even reached 800 yards. Graham has had 7 or 8 players in the last 10 years to reach at least 1200. Dews, Brandon Banks, Byard, Easly, Graves, Jones, Bradshaw, HT Matthews. I don't think Surface was better than any of the HB's easly and matthews were fullback and QB. Mike Henry and Jared Tibbs may have had more yards than Surface. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BB_TWEEDER Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 [ QUOTE ] we shall see... He is within about 400 of the all time rushing yards from scrimmage record, had 1500 yards last year and should have a better line to run behind this year...and will get most of the carries, last year he split with AW Looney who also had a 1000 yard year...and he's stronger and faster this year...if he stays healthy the best is yet to come. Aug 26th will be the first day of judgement...22 days. [/ QUOTE ] You and Marcum dating or talking? lol j/k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebelman44 10 Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 I like marcums's style of running myself but personaly i dont think he is in th top three backs to come out of grundy. I know he might not have the line scammell had but Grundy also plays weaker opponets now. They dont play matewan, Iaeger, mt. view....Competiton was also better in the past in all area teams i think.....Its hard to compare but i think the talent level has gone down in all area schools the past 5 years. 1 Cary perkins 2 David Scammell 3 tim rutherford 4 jason lester 5 garon marcum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghs70 10 Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 To respond to the person who asked what D-1 Colleges those other players were at, Paco Jones is also at Marshall, behind AB. Reed Oaks well, from what I heard he went to Mars Hill (if thats hows its spelled) in NC. But he droped out and now is back here in bluefield and is playing for the Barrons. Ringstaff I'm sure someone from Richlands knows that one... But If I'm not mistaken didn't he go D-1 here in VA... But there ya go Haha ohh and I know not in competition with the Top 5 but I mean you said Paco and Reid Oaks... So J.R. Wilson should be in with atleast those two. And J.R. if I'm yet again not mistaken is going to UVA Wise... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blues88 18 Report Share Posted August 6, 2005 I tell you another running back that was awful tough was Bryan Beavers from Richlands in the mid 80's. He didn't go D1 but anybody that played against him can relay the message of how tough he was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigD4VT 11 Report Share Posted August 6, 2005 I played against Beavers in midget league and watched him in High School. He was a horse of a fullback. E.W. Griffith who played at Richlands a few years ago reminded me a lot of Beavers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GC_Quincy 582 Report Share Posted August 6, 2005 Mark Thompson from Gate City had to be one of the best in the old SWD. Back in the '80s, the SWD was brutal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
