Pikeville in the late 80s had as much if not more talent than any team to ever suit up in the Mountains. That's why they have tons of hardware on their fingers. Deramus and Hackney were both incredible talents at the high school level. Ashland in 1990 had some incredible players. At 6'4 240 lbs, Juan Thomas was an incredible back. I don't know if I would call Deramus or Thomas fullbacks though. They were big tailbacks in a multiple back offense. They weren't there for their blocking ability. I believe Ashland had 3 backs with over 1000 yards that season and one of them was listed as a FB, Chris Hutt was the other tailback and he could fly.
