FOOTBALLMAN 10 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 To be honest I forgot about Jay. But from what I hear from alot of old timers is Pete Wood is the greatest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightsfan3 27 Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 Out of the Bluefield players I've seen and no disrespect to the ones I havent seen. Amaker was the most exciting to watch and the that none of us wanted to see on the field lol. He was the hardest to stop, because you had to account for him on every play, because if you didn't all he needed was 1 play to beat you.

buzzsawBeaver 12 Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 all exceptional players mentioned. As for an overall player you could build a strong team around, I would have pete wood, tim sarver, jay sims, and yubrenal isabell in a top 5. Other considrations might be some overall strong and exceptional players such as teddy coppalo or buddy gilpin. There's been many a really strong overall football player such as them who blended in at bluefield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaverteeth 10 Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 Cortez Martin Jay Sims Charlie Tynes Hugh Smalls Yubrenal Isabell Amaker does not make top 5, he was great but scared to hit the holes and run plays that where needed and it showed in 98 season when Tynes and Dews where not there for back up...(The fastest ever forum..No.1) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The backfield of the '84 team was one of the best, most talented backfields I've seen in high school football. They had speed (Smalls), size (Coppolo), and speed and size (Martin).

oldskool 10 Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 I think that there could also be an argument for Paul Wallace to be placed on the top to list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay Sims - buzzsaw told me that he was going to attend OSU i believe? 5. Donald Amaker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buzzsawBeaver 12 Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 jaycould have played anywhere, but with his character it was no surprise that he was satisfied with a smaller school, he really liked the coaching staff and the smaller atmoshphere at ohio u, and expected he would play db earlier. Not suggesting people who prefer bigger schools have no character, you simply had to know jay to know what I'm suggesting.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pistol4 10 Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 What happened to Amaker anyway?... I remember watching him when i was little, but he was the enemy so i didn't like em' ;-) He was pretty talented. I also remember Yubrenal Isabel returning the first kickoff of the graham beaver game back for a touchdown..sometime in the 90's .. anyway...he gets my vote for no. 1 player, at least the best as far back as i can remember.

BluefieldPT 10 Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 Donald Amaker went on to play for Tusculum. He was all american there. One awesome player!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluefield_Rules 46 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 [ QUOTE ] Donald Amaker went on to play for Tusculum. He was all american there. One awesome player!!!!! [/ QUOTE ] Exactly. He shattered numerous Tusculum and South Altantic Conference kickoff and punt return records. He was only the fourth Tusculum player to ever earn All-American honors. He also broke or tied serve NCAA Division II kickoff and punt return records as well. He played a key role on some of Tusculum best teams in school history during his time there.

WeirFootball 10 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 Donald Amaker had some jets. He reminded me of Reggie Bush in a sense because you always had to know where he was on the field at all times and he could hurt you on the ground or in the air as a receiver out of the backfield. He was also an excellent kickoff and punt returner. I heard he was an All-American at Tusculum and I'm glad he did so well there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOOTBALLMAN 10 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 If we go off of accomplishments like rocks then pete wood would be at the top. at wvu lead nation in rushing and also was an all-american there. because of injuries settled for playing in the cfl for a little while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
