Haha not quite. I was with Fields at the Ashland/Russell JV game and he was commenting on how he liked Wills face paint. Both of those young men have tremendous respect for each other. So maybe in the future Confused

I can understand why they would have respect. They are both tremendous players. Maybe the face paint will catch on. Smile

well from what i know they aint a small 1A school they may be a smaller school than 2a but we are talking 1A, and they are a big 1A school, one of the biggest around here!

Pikeville is right now near the top of the 1A schools, but the 6th and 7th grade classes that are coming up are the smallest in the system in years.:igiveup:

I would also say jon shriner from powell..

Captain America_2007 · 09-14-2006, 06:55 PM

Michael Tackett and Blake Johnson from JC.

Has to be Tackett and Johnson from Jc. With their taalent and their coaching they are second to none. Glen Reeves has taken these boys under his wings as if they were his own children and turned them into linebackers that will have offensive coordinators wondering why the ball isn't being moved. Where ever there is a tackle being made, you can count on them being there. I would put them against any two linebackers in Eastern KY or the state IMO!!

i am not going to say this because i am a russell fan but if anyone out there saw the ashland russell game they would have noticed that all ashland linebackers were doing all night was chopping the linemen. unlike wills, that fights through blocks and makes tackles. ashland relied to much on making kasey clark try to take the sideline and get caught by their outside contain. after the linemen realized this they simply took them to the ground while clark hurddled over them. this strategy won't win you many games. you cant forget about beekman from russell, he doesn't have much size at all but is quick and hits like a loaded spring. just wish he had some more size on him.

Micheal Tackett... He will hit you HARD!!!! i think he has broke a couple of helmets this season... I know of one for sure

The players doing that weren't linebackers. Those are monsters (defensive backs) in our defensive scheme, even though they are lined up near an outside linebacker position. Ashland only has 2 linebackers in their scheme. Russell moved Wills to the backfield to lead block. Do you really expect Matt Thomas to run over Wills to make a play? It's just common sense that a player tremendously oversized and overpowered against a blocker is going to do his best to dump the bodies as far upfield as possible, thus stringing out the play. I can guarantee Davis or Cordle weren't undercutting blockers except on lead plays to cause a pile up.

Russell in the mountains,OK,Josh Wills #56 6' 200lbs top dog. Pound for pound #9 Aaron Beekman 5'8 150 the kids in on every play...has an interception and a fumble recovery...cant forget the interception in the championship game last year...and has a touchdown this year :thumpsup:

It doesn't matter if he's that big if he can't catch a quick scat back sprinting to the outside.

On that note, I'll say Blake Johnson 6'1 250 pounds from JC is the best in the mountains. He can catch backs from behind and stuff a lead blocking fullback at the line to clog up the holes.:devilflam
