Doug Howard & David Jones - Belfry Pirates

Led the state's 3rd leading all-time rushing offense. In the state semi-finals & state finals (2004) these two combined for 858 yards & 10 TDs. Jones had 204 yards & 4 TDs against Russell in the semis, and 176 yards with 1 TD in the state finals against O'Cath. Howard had 200 yards & 2 TDs against Russell, and a state finals record of 278 yards with 3 TDs against O'Cath.

For their senior seasons their stats were unbelievable:

Jones: 176 carries 1805 yards & 32 Total TDs (10.3 ypc)
Howard: 198 carries 2138 yards & 31 Total TDs (10.8 ypc)


Thats my vote for best backfield in EKY history, but as far as KY history goes. I'd have to say any backfield that had Shaun Alexander in it. The Bryan Station backfield from the late '90s led by Eric Shelton gets my vote for second, and I feel comfortable putting Howard & Jones up against anybody else.
