I was watching channel 19...I saw highlights of Coeburn's Season from 1991...i repeatedly heard the name Mike Hamm and some Plaster guy...this team looked pretty good...I was too young to remember football in 1991...just wondering if any old timers could fill me on the Blue Knights.?

DANG wish I could see it .. I always love seeing highlights of older games. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

I don't know much at all about Mike Hamm but it'd definitely be interesting to see footage of him since he's pretty much the all-time best running back to ever come out of Coeburn.

What made him so good, though? His speed? Power? Or a mixture of both?

And about the Coeburn team of '91 .. what made them so good? Did they rely on running the ball mostly, or a mixture of both running and passing?

Sorry to ask so much, just curious. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

(PS - since the original poster was also not sure of the team of '91, hopefully someone that DOES remember them from that time could fill us in .. I'm sure there are at least some people that remember them.)

Judging from what i watched on TV they had a pretty good balance of Passing and Running but Mike Hamm was a beast. 2,000 yards rushing

No offense or anything, but how on earth did Powell Valley suddenly get dragged into this thread? [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

What made him so good and so strong, he always rode his bike to and from school. And he lived on the mountain. He was a beast. This young man deserved to get his number retired. He never missed a practice or a workout, even stayed late to get in extra lifting.If it was to bad to ride his bike, then he ran to school. (not because he didn't have a vehicle, he did, just gave it his all)Hope this helps you with your questions.If the kids from Coeburn took a little pride in their conditioning, like the players did back then, Coeburn would have a better team. And yes players are getting lazy... They only do what they have to do to get to play. Carl and Crabtree ran these boys till they dropped. You were ready for the game or you didn't play... Coaches just don't push kids now. If you do it you do if not , oh well.
