old_school_blue 247 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 I would have hated to be in front of Mccommins running toward me with a full head of steam. Jeremy McCommons was a good athlete, no doubt. His junior year he had an exceptional offensive line and one of the best fullbacks ever to play at Richlands. The problem for Jeremy is that the entire O-line and the fullback were seniors. Went from 1600+ yards his junior year to 400+ yards his senior year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blufan04 12 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 Brother, you must be a youngster at Bluefield. You truly have no idea of how great some of your legends were. Only Yubrenal and Simms belong in the top 10 list at Bluefield. You had guys like Gutyon, Williams, Bains, and many others go on to MAJOR Div 1 schools and start from the 50's, 60's, and 70's. Your right that was way before my time but my top 10 is based on who i've seen play for Bluefield. I have all the respect in the world for the teams of the 50's, 60's, and 70's and I'm aware that there were legends on those teams that were were probably top 10 caliber. Just not familiar with alot of the names of the players on those teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old_school_blue 247 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 I noticed that the only 2 players from the '92 State Championship team mentioned here were Brannon Breeding and Josh Perkins (both well deserved.) If you have an "all-time Richlands team" Sam Barnett would have to garner first team Center, and maybe first team DE. Brad Salyers was above exceptional. Chris Harrison and Brad Davis would have a strong argument. Yancy Tabor had the best "technique" of any offensive lineman that I can remember. There were also some greats on the '91 team. Anthony Cox and Donnie Lester. L.C. Phipps, Robert Hagerman, Jason Sizemore were all studs on the '90 team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCFan 10 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 Don Barnes should be on the Tazewell list. Led them to an 8-2 record as a senior in '63 I believe and earned scholarship to Tennessee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redtiger 1,742 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 (edited) Haysi's glory days were a little before my time but I wil give it a shot. In no specific order *Jason Edwards OL Great linemen, paved the way for some very good Haysi teams *Pat Sutherland OL Same as above *Tito Mock LB a force on defense *Blaine Hackney RB/DB Great kick returner *Jamie Hackney QB Slinging the ball around in the 90s like it was 2010 *Jason Compton QB same as above, still in the VHSL record books *Kory Bostic WR uncoverable, great hands and speed *Robbie Colley Safety Was a ball hock at safety, could have been an all state WR but played QB on Offense *Josh Yates Great DT(had 20+ tackels in 1 game vs Clintwood), just give up running inside, also a very good OL *Blake Owens TE Played TE was more of an H-Back, dominating in the open field, very good blocker Honorable mention *Todd Tiller OL, a big part of some of the best Olines at Haysi *Jake Colley ATH, was a very good DB, like his brother would have been an incredible WR but played QB, the best scrambling QB I have ever seen there are a few more that deserve to be on HM but the names escape me right now I am a little young for a all time list so I put alot of those guys on there because of reputation and not because I actually saw them play although I have watched film of all of them Edited July 30, 2011 by redtiger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest lookoutmountain Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 Junior Colemen. Sorry I wrote Stiltner. I guess so many Stiltner's in my head from Grundy, but his name was Junior Coleman, First Team All State both sides of the ball, and I'm pretty sure played at Univ of Kentucky.

futbolking 766 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 also need to include in this group is mike patton qb during the 89 title team i think. more "receiving votes": David Bailey, Lee Grimes, Kevin Yost (Region IV player of the year). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewHampshireRed 94 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 (edited) Hurley's list of great players. Most of them from the "glory years". No particular order. Greg Justus "still holds the state record for points scored in game. 58 David Davis "all state and went on to a brilliant career at Emory. John potter "all state, played college at ferum. Greg tester "all state, would have gained over 2000 yards in 10 games but a injury at richlands stopped that, but went on and got it in the playoffs. Greg rexroad "man amongst boys" Ledford Gibson "one of the main reasons fir David davis's stellar career. Shane Justice "over 3000 yards in career in only 3 seasons, 1700 coming in his senior season guiding Hurley to back to back playoffs and 8-2 record.

I know its premature but depending on how this season plays out Cooper could be on that list. Im really not up on my Hurley Football history but he has got to be one of the better Rebel QBs. Right?

NewHampshireRed 94 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 Statistic wise I would say without a doubt he is one of the better if not best in Hurley history. But at the same time he has had a 6'8 receiver to throw to. In quaterback best at the school I am going to go (no particular order) Mark Hackney, Adam Blankenship, Isaac Stacy, Austin Cooper.

wvpymbr 11 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 BLUFAN04 if your going to put Cole on there you have to put Jake Lilly led the team in tackles 4 years in a row. Also Teddy Coppola Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lance 228 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 if you talk Hurley, there are some old guys on that list none of us know enough about to make one up...so, pretty much have to stick with modern era. I think Smiley had a few back in the day that were pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blufan04 12 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 (edited) BLUFAN04 if your going to put Cole on there you have to put Jake Lilly led the team in tackles 4 years in a row. Also Teddy Coppola Believe me I thought about Lilly and Coppola but I put Cole in there because he is the school's all time leader in passing yards and former Kennedy Award winner. There are so many you can put on that list. Edited August 1, 2011 by blufan04 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
