No offense Russell fans but Clark doesn't stand a snowball's chance in Haiti... he is a phenomenal player and for my money the MVP in 2A... but.. as someone who has seen alot of football and watched Beaumont and Anderson in person..there is absolutely no comparison and geography has nothing to do with it.

Doug Beaumont, IMO, is the best football player in Kentucky. When I watched him play he was no doubt all he was billed to be as a runner, but when I left what really impressed me was his abilities on defense. In Redman's "Confusion Defense" in which all 11 men are in the box and there is single bump coverage at the wideouts, Beaumont's role as a safety is HUGE. I saw him run down three plays that would have been TD's from behind, twice, he stripped the ball and caused the turnover. Also on offense Beaumont's role as a receiver forces defenses to be honest and frees up the most underrated player in the state Adam Williams to make big plays vertically.

I have seen Clark play and he is a tremendous player, but he is nowhere near the calibur of Beaumont, or nowhere near the runner that Anderson is.
