Miles Simpson doesn't like doing interviews.
It's not because the Simon Kenton star is uncomfortable speaking. He answers questions the way he runs the football - easily and purposefully.
Away from the field, however, Simpson shuns the spotlight.
"He just doesn't like being the focus of things," Simon Kenton coach Jeff Marksberry said. "He's the last person who wants to talk about himself or have people talk about him."
That's probably going to become a problem. Because as Simpson enters his senior season, he's near the top of a short list of Kentucky Mr. Football contenders. No local player has won the award since Highlands quarterback Jared Lorenzen in 1998. Others have become finalists in recent years (Gino Guidugli, Brett Hamblen and Rob Smith of Highlands, Drew Ellison of Covington Catholic and Cory Farris of Boone County), but most lacked the preseason hype Simpson is receiving.........
