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

How are you going to compare what the teams accomplished when Doug & David played in 2A... and Micah in 3A... The teams Belfry played then were stiffer competition than the 2A teams in 03 & 04..

Micah didn't get full 4 years to play like Howard either... Doug had quite alot of playing time when he was a freshman..
Also, if you watched all of them play, you would have known when Micah played we passed the ball ALOT, something that never happened in 03 & 04..

And in 2004 against O'Cath.. both backs weren't even, and they didn't both rush for over 200 yard... Doug rushed for 278 yards & 3TD's.. David rushed for 157 & 1 TD... It was easily seen that Doug overshadowed David that day.. Also, both years Doug outrushed David.. 2004 Doug rushed for over 2,000 yards, David rushed for 1,700 an some.. both had 29 TD's for the year..

You never heard me say Micah was faster than David.. David is bar none the quickest player to ever put on a Belfry uniform..
