Probably in the minority here, but I dont think either one is the best back at Russell. The lack of competition they played, really hurts them in my opinion. when they did play some decent teams, usually didnt have good games. Personally I think Ray Clark had the most talent of any back. Ran for over 1000 yds, on exactly 100 carries his senior year. Also, ran for 100+ yd games against Boyle Co, Parkersburg, Wheelersburg, Lex Cath. Other than him I still feel Jeff Frazier or Mike Jones were better all around backs. Its not either one of their faults they had to play 7 weak district games every year, so they couldn't schedule more quality opponents to showcase their talents. Plus after Lex Cath and Boyle moved up to 3A, it kinda left 2A a lot weaker. You know you had to be **** good to beat either of those teams.

I understand where you are comming from. Ray Clark had more raw speed than either. But Gross and Kasey Clark where much better instinctive runners and also better recievers out of the back field.

If you want to start throwing other names in there than Tim Hammond, John Groves, Eric Day, Sam Watkins, Kelly Gipson, and Reno Gipson would warrant mentioning.
