I am not from Russell nor Powell County. But I know without even seeing this kid play that Clark is way better. Betsy Layne beat Powell County. I watched the Clark kid play in the State Championship and he there is no one on either team that (BL or PC)that could tackle that kid.

[b]Kasey Clark No doubt! As HazzBeen mentioned, anyone who watched Kasey play in the State Championship game last year would say the same thing. He was something special to watch. I can't tell you his stats from that game off the top of my head like Midee1 or Devilologist would be able to do (help me out there guys), but he was the MVP of the State Championship game as a junior. A couple of things I will mention about Kasey's performance in that game. While walking through the luxury suite area at half time, all the college scouts that were watching the game on the TV monitors were talking about him. I overheard one of them on a cell phone say "you've got to see this Clark kid from Russell, he's a man among boys". And the size O.C.'s defense looked like a small college team on the field, and I don't think any of them went both ways like Kasey does. When I went down on the field for the final 5 minutes of the game Kasey was still going strong. He was crushing 6'5" 250 lb. linemen and running over them and then drag 1 or 2 linebackers 4 & 5 yds. While I was listening to the KHSAA radio commentators during the 3A game on the way home they kept talking about him throughout that game. I remember at one point one of them saying "what about that Kasey Clark from Russell, wasn’t he something to watch".



Kasey is also a great person off the field. He referee's JFL games all day on Saturday's and is great with the kids. He starts at 9am on Saturday and will go all day. It's hard to keep the little guys focused when their hero is on the field. My kids love him to death. Usually in between games Kasey will let the kids chase him and tackle him, then 4 or 5 kids will pile on. After I have to get on the kids for pilling on him, he will get up laughing and take off running again. I can see it now in the headlines of the paper, Kasey Clark setting out on Friday night due to an injury at a JFL game. But the elementary school kids idolize him. I see a lot of kids at the schools and on Friday nights wearing Clark 24 jerseys.
