This is a hard list to make. I'll go:
1. Wellman
2. Hatfield
3. Dotson
4. May (I think he was better at halfback)
5. Willis

[pirateforlife]

I'd also like to see people rank an entire backfield the Pirates have had throughout the years. How does this years compare to the Howard and Jones backfield as well as the Wellman, Hunter, Catron backfield and the Dotson, May, Lee/Varney backfield? But let's not forget none of these backs would have been as successful as they were if it wasnt for those great offensive lines they have.

As others have said, I hope Pirate Nation has a safe, relaxing drive up to the city.

Enjoy the food. Stay dry. Cheer loudly. Have a great time.

[Craze JACKET man]

Last year FB!! The best to wear a Pirates uniform.. Maybe the best LB to play at Belfry..

[Craze JACKET man]

Coach Haywood could answer that one for us.

[Hound05]

Nobody is going to block him one on one, in my opinion. Hopefully Coach will give however he lines up in front of some TE or RB help. Because if he don't, Scott will live in our backfield.

And I'm not throwing off on any of the Pirate linemen either. NOBODY on our line could contain him all night by themselves. The kid is a beast. Same goes for #53 Watkins at DT and the other DE #87. The Belfry O-Line better play the best game they've ever played or it could be a long night for the Pirates.

Don’t be some humble. I watched a 2017 belfry team come back from putting up a goose egg in the first half, completely dominate the 2nd, mostly because of their line adjustments. Don’t know about this year, but that was some of the best trap plays I’ve seen on the HS level. Those types of plays could basically neutralize him if ran correctly. Belfrys Line is big enough that if they are just able to seal their blocks, they’ll be ok.

I’ve watched wellman play. Seems like I remember a Dotson as well. But if any of the rest were better than wellman, well...... I’m glad We didn’t have to go against them

[Bossdaddy 4115]

Amen to that. Wellman was the toughest kid on the field any Friday he played.

Austin Dotson was #61. He was one of the 4 division one lineman. He's at Kentucky now. Charlie Dotson graduated in 2009. I don't believe they were any relation.

Doug Howard was a halfback. He's the best back ever at Belfry imo. David Jones is a close second and a was a better college prospect but Howard is the best back to put on the red and white IMO. If you never got a chance to watch the 03/04 Belfry teams then I'm sorry. Gary Childers was the fullback on those teams but the fullback wasn't utilized then like it is now for Belfry.

Howard was a HB my bad but wow the guy was something to watch for a high school football player........Awesome!!

They are so many greats,what about Mickey Scott went on to play for Morehead State I think it was but dropped out.......

They was a Oliver seems that was a decent running back also back in the day!!

Would have liked to see Doug Webb carry a few back in the day lololol, The guy was one mean dude and just his looks alone would scare ya to death.......lol

Too hard to rank in my mind. Would have to add the Caudill brothers in there somewhere as well. Micah and Jonah!!

Yes he could. I’ve never seen anyone like him other than Dixon. Run and cut and hardly lose any speed. Dixon and Micah are eerily similar in my book.
