[P.C.Defense]

The absolute toughest player I have ever seen on a football field day in and day out, practice, games, lifting, conditioning was Joe Henson. Joe is the defintion of the term WORK HORSE. I played with Joe and I have never seen him give less than 100%. TOUGH AS NAILS!

[P.C.Defense]

Big Rich mcCune was a good one as well, got a full ride to U.K., first team all-state in 88.

[P.C.Defense]

Yeah his stats weren't that good cause he played in a running offense for three years. We are taking about the top, meaning talent wise. He passed on a lot of other high schools in the state to play at BL and I think that kind of commitment is comendable. As far as talent is concerned the kid could throw any college style pass and was a good team player and one of the few that really cared about winning on the team. He also had a spot on UK's Hal Mumme team, but didn't walk on there. He had a scholarship offer from EKU, but didn't take it because he lacked enough credits. The kid was defenately better than any other qb. 6-3 215 could throw the ball around 60 yards and ran a 4.8 40. That's pretty good for a pocket qb. Randall Hager didn't use him the way he needed and they never had a go to receiver. If you were to add up potential yardage from dropped passes in the hands of the receivers his numbers would have been much better. I know that some people didn't like that he was cocky, but he had a reason to be. Turned down Lex Cath, Paintsville, Pike Central, and a school in Alabama to play for the Bobcats. To me that says a lot about his character and commitment.

You forget to mention his blazing speed!!!!!:lmaokiddin) Tyler will make a good football coach. A couple more years under coach Whitaker, he's gettin' there.

I heard he once threw the football so hard that when the WR tried to catch it...it shattered all the bones in both hands. The ball then hit the goal post and chopped it clean into. They have yet to dig deep enough to recover the ball once it hit the ground.

Breathitt
Kyle Moore
Shorty Combs
Justin Haddix

Joe was tough and he is still giving 100%.We all love Joe.

[Breathitt Bobcat]

Tim sure was.We had a few then.Don't forget "your very own"Kyle Lively.

[P.C.Defense]

I don't think K

[P.C.Defense]

I don't think Kyle played till his senior year. That 97' Breathitt team was loaded.
Jason White was a heck of a running back as well. Majority of starters from 96' team were back.
A D-lineman who never really gets mentioned is Jason Plummer.

[P.C.Defense]

My senior year our backfield was Joe, Buddy Baker, Cujo Montgomery.
All 3 benched 330 lbs and squated close to 500lbs. Joe and Buddy weighed right at 165.

Casey is one Heck of a Defensvie Lineman. I know this for a FACT. I honestly hate to dog on Brad but Casey did make 1st team All-State. An accomplishment Brad didnt have. Im sure I dont know the entire history of Breathitt County lineman, But im sure Brad and Casey Both deserve to be mentioned.

[tomcat_fan_for_life]

1.arlyss beach
2.matt thomas...great athlete
3.josh gerhanger (new transfer) but could be one of the all-time greats before he graduates
