At Paintsville it had to be Mike Minix. He was a HS All-American, and played in an All-American game down in Florida against Joe Naimeth, Dick Butkus, and numerous other stars. Minix was the MVP of that All-American game.

Mike "The Missile" Minix I have heard my Dad talk about him, says probably on of the best backs he has ever seen play..and thats spanning over 40 some odd years...for South Floyd with out a doubt B.J. Bryant....but me being an ole Wheelwright boy I have to go with David Hall from back in the 80's.

I played against Slone and Fannin, the M&M boys as Coach D called them. In all honesty Slone was a good back , but he doesn't have the numbers that he did if Fannin's not in that backfield. Both were strong, big backs, with good speed, and had a heck of a QB in Willis and some good WR's. In 2001 they were very balanced in the skill positions and had a huge line to open holes for any back.

Mike would definately have to be the best from Paintsville. Paintsville has had it's fair share of great runningbacks over the years.

It would be close for pburg with Seth hyden, 1993, and Matt slone, 2001..

Quote: Billy Peck for Phelps
He was good but I think Bo Wolford was better.,

Both of these 2 were good but you can't forget Ricky L. Dotson and Mitch and Mike Fannin as well.... Phelps has some good kids play ball but seem to be good in areas and weak in others...
Ricky made all state in his first year of play! He was an awesome athlete...

For Sheldon Clark this conversation has got to start and end with Brad Tiller. The fastest athlete I have ever laid eyes on.
Some others that deserve mentioning are (In no paticular order):
*Ben Delong
*Moe Spradlin
*Donnie Webb
*Rusty Fletcher
*John Stafford
*Jason Jewell
*Adam Dials (Still plays but has made quite a name for himself)
Like I said all of these men deserve to be mentioned, but Tiller is still in a class by himself.
