1. NO QUESTION DOUG HOWARD
2. James Ramey
3. Mikey Scott
4. David Jones
5. Micah Caudill

There have been ALOT of inaccuracies in this thread.

First of all in the 2004 state championship game.. neither back "carried" Belfry they both ran for over 200 yards!

Micah was a great open field tackler but at no point in his career (and I saw every varsity game) would I consider him to be a hard hitter. David Jones, as evidence by the hit he laid against Gross in the 2004 semi-final, was a hard hitter!

Doug Howard- 2 State Titles, 2 State Finals, 2 Regional Titles
David Jones- 2 State Titles, 2 State Finals, 2 Regional Titles
Micah Caudill- 0 State Titles, 0 State Finals, 0 Regional Titles

The above stat line alone speaks volumes.... let us not forget that Doug broke gained more yards than Micah despite splitting carries with a great back like Dave!

Another inaccuracy that must be noted is Dave's blocking... someone commented that he really lacked in blocking and that was true when he was a Junior, but during hs Senior season he was an EXCELLENT blocker (not the same level as Doug) but excellent nonetheless. This is evident if you watch UK play.. he is easily the best downfield blocker of all the UK receivers!

Next inaccuracy... everyone who thinks Dave and Micah were close in speed. Dave is the fastest player to ever come from Belfry bar none. He won the state championship in track! He was timed sub 4.4 in the 40! He is arguably the second fastest UK player right now behind Alphonso Smith... Micah was a legit 4.5 guy... but he isn't anywhere close to being as fast as Jones. Lateral quickness? Yes..maybe even quicker... speed... NO WAY

Nice post...I agree that Micah probably had more lateral quickness than all 3, but I know Jones was faster & I would bet that Howard was faster, too.

Micah & Ron Blume remind me of each other. Both had great speed, but they looked deceptively faster than they actually were. I think both were 4.6 40 guys and ran 11.5-11.7 in the 100m dash.
