Isnt Blumes numbers enough to be considered?

Burke, Fiddler, & Johnson are the favorites. Even tho Blume's stats are unreal, he hasn't played at a big enough stage to win it. You have to make a playoff run to win it and the votes will be in right after regional championship so he won't have had much time to make a case unless he does somthing fast. Burke plays in Lexington and gets a lot of exposure. Fiddler commited to UK and has gotten just as much exposure. Johnson is ranked one of the best LBs in the country, he has gotten as much if not more exposure than any. Blume's exposure has been good, but not of this magnitude. Blume may be a finalst, but he will not win it. West did not win it with his great nubers nor did Beach. It's hard to win it from eastern Kentucky unless you are hands down the best player in the state.

I agree and don't forget Parker on a running team held state records for Receiving yards, tds and receptions I believe were the three along with National record for one of those and third for one of the others. And didn't win it. Why you ask. EASTERN KENTUCKY

Thanks a lot guys. But what about Micah Johnson of Fort Campbell. I haven't seen him play but I've seen a picture of him and he's a pretty big ol' boy!!!

Yeah, hear nothing but great things about Johnson. Has to be good for ESPN to rank you #1 inside linebacker in the nation!!!!! :omg:
By the way, I have a new jersey but not #17. So I'm wearing 17 away jersey (if we win) and a different home jersey.

To be candid, I think Ron Blume has had a great season, but if you're voting for Mr. Football as the best player, it would be impossible to go outside the trio of Burke, Johnson and Fidler.
Any way you want to measure it at this level or the next, these players are going to surpass all others in the state.
Is there a bias against players east of Winchester? Absolutely, but in this season no one has as yet made a quality case to crack that glass ceiling.

what about some players that make plays on boths sides of the ball????????

By looking at those #'s I say burke has it hands down

At the beginning of the year I would have said Micah Johnson, hands down.
But after hearing about his attitude being just plain awful, if I had one vote it would go to Justin Burke of Lexington Catholic. Great player - signed with N.C. State, great student - probably LC's Valedictorian, fierce competitor & consummate teammate in the words of his coach, and he plays in Lexington.
Blume has had a great year and even if he leads his team into the playoffs it could be too little, too late. Most of the guys considered for this award had their names in the hat before the beginning of their senior seasons. Whether it be from a culmination of games throughout their career (Curtis Pulley of Hopkinsville), or good showings in the state finals (David Jones of Belfry), David was considered Top 5 prior to his senior season, or both (Kelvin Turner of Danville & Brandon Smith of Boyle Co.)
Thats not a knock on Blume either, he is a great back and I hope he is at least a Top 5 representative.
But in all honesty, the odds are against him.

To me, Mr. Football is far more than numbers. Mr. Football should be the best football player in the state. Regardless of numbers, age, grade, whatever....
Do you all that are saying it honestly think Ron Blume is the best football player in the state?
And if so, what Division 1 schools are recruiting him.......
