Havent been on here since around 2008, so who were the top guys this year??
Graham of Lee was probably #1
Thomas Walker's running back... is that the answer you were fishing for?
Lee's Tyler Graham led the area backs with 2305 yards, in just 9 games.
Honaker's back Jerrod Honaker finished with around 1901. Including today's game, I think Clintwood's Gavan Meade finished around 1856. Hurley's Tyler Berglowe had 1620. Believe they were the next closest.
No, I haven't kept up with them either.
That is INCREDIBLE. Your stats are always right, so Graham really got 2300 yards in 9 games? WOW Thats over 250 yards per game average.Quote:

Yeah, its officially on Lee's records site. 9 game total because he missed the Harlan County game with an injury. He also had just over 6000 for his career. That's all no playoff games involved either. Both broke the old records held by Satterfield. I can't remember what the number of attempts were, but they weren't really high as most would say and I'm thinking he still finished with over 12-13 or so yards per carry average...at least that.
Lee's record site...

Very impressive.
CW guys, what did Meade finish with?
From a previous comment on the number of attempts for Graham, which I was unsure of at the time, seen it in the local paper (PVN) today....187 carries, 2,305 yards, 28 TD's.
12 YPC. Dammmmmmmmm!
Just my opinion but Graham would make a killer special teams player at VT. I might be a little bias to tech but Graham has the speed and size to be a kick team kid
To be honest Graham could of had D1 schools fighting over him if he went to a winning program and help getting his name out there. Another UVa Wise wasted talent that will ride the pine behind a Northern Va thug.
Sad but true gchs_devils. Graham is one talented kid.
Should be able to get his name out there well enough. Dustin Waynick is being offered a walk-on invite this year from Virginia Tech, Hurley's football program isn't all that great and the comp. they played wasn't either. Twin Valley had a player (Matt Baldwin) on the football a few years ago. I think Nick Bush from Lebanon is still there. Matt Perdue, quarterback at Lee, from a while back went to Appalachian State and that was some of Lee's worst years of football. Robert Sabattini from Lee went to VMI and Mississippi State. He's shown plenty enough IMO to be able to get some attention. I guess playing for one like Richlands would help get some exposure at the state level too and it would add a few more schools but just don't see it as being a great deal being in this area as is the case with most. Most people at Lee claim the lack college recruiting attention is because the coaches don't enough to help, I just don't buy that either, a lot of it seems to me would be up to the players themselves.
Id love to see Graham make it to D1 and play. The kid is too dang good to not play somewhere
Show me where a kid from our area sat on the bench at UVa-W behind a lesser player.Quote:

Who cares its UVA-Wise!!!!!! if your worth a sh!t you wont be playing for a rinkydink NAIA team in SWVA the NoVA rejects come to UVA wise. Graham should of gotten his name out more in his junior year. Im afraid its to late. And biggin, quit tryin to hate on me. Not my fault your overalls have been a bit to tight lately.
Graham would make a D1 special teams player or a good Caron Newman, Emory and Henry running back IMO.
