Watkins had nearly 2000 yards rushing on the season with about 35 Total TD's and split his time with 2 other backs. He played LB and had a boat load of tackles and numerous sacks on the year. Michael Burchett was deserving and so was Caleb Watkins . . . it would be hard to give it to just one player. But each fan will think that the player from their team got short changed . . . WYMT did a good job, unfortunately, they will be criticized by disgruntled fans and won't be able to satisfy everyone. Once again, congratulations to all the players who made the list.

No, it has nothing to do with him being from my school because I'm not even from Prestonsburg. I did however see Prestonsburg , Corbin, and Valley all play on numerous occasions and this is my belief. Roberts did the same thing that Watkins did, with less carries and also sharing the load with 2 other backs. Roberts was the best back that I saw from EKY that I saw this year. Watkins is a good player. I'm not disputing that. But I just feel that w/o Burchett, Prestonsburg would have a been a .500 ball club, and Corbin w/o Watkins would have still won 7-8 games. But to each his own.
