Bell County's John Dudley Hilton Should Get Consideration for 2010 Mr. Football

I came across and interesting article today on the Lexington Herald website about Boyle County linebacker Lamar Dawson.

In it however, Mike Fields states that Bell County's John Dudley Hilton should get some consideration for the 2010 Mr. Football award putting in to effect his career accomplishments, and I agree!

Here is the excerpt:

For career achievement, Bell County's John Dudley Hilton deserves to be in the Mr. Football conversation. Over the last three years his Bobcats have lost only three games — to Lexington Catholic in 2007, and to Alcoa, Tenn., and Boyle County last year. Those three teams all went on to win state titles.

Hilton was MVP of Bell County's 4A title game victory over Bullitt East in 2008.

The son of Bell County Coach Dudley Hilton, he had more than 100 tackles as a sophomore and 122 last year.

As a running back, he rushed for more than 500 yards and nine TDs last fall. He also did the kicking and long-snapping for the Bobcats.

"He's done just about everything you can do in a high school career," his dad said.

John Dudley, who was a Governor's Scholar this summer, is getting looks from EKU and WKU, but could wind up at West Point.


But this year he is only interested in unfinshed business {BOYLE CO.}
