eagle65 Posted December 29, 2010 Report Posted December 29, 2010 throughout the years, who was and is the best at Barbers Hill
cowboys Posted December 29, 2010 Report Posted December 29, 2010 Philip Davis was a good one in the late 90s.
BHFAN Posted December 29, 2010 Report Posted December 29, 2010 I don't know about the best ,but Thurman Blake and Perry Robison were pretty good. Blake just straight ran ove folks while Perry had the speed.
bronco#34 Posted December 30, 2010 Report Posted December 30, 2010 I BELIEIVE THERE WAS A GUY BY THE NAME OF DARREN FORD,THIS GUY WAS BUILT LIKE HERSCHELL WALKER AND HAD PLENTY OF SPEED.BELIEVE HEVHAD 4.4 40 SPEED AND COULD RUN OVER YOU IF NEEDED
former bh eagle 25 Posted December 30, 2010 Report Posted December 30, 2010 his name is perry carrington not robison
former bh eagle 25 Posted December 30, 2010 Report Posted December 30, 2010 ford was good but did not have 4.4 speed more like 4.5
Guest Ranger83 Posted December 31, 2010 Report Posted December 31, 2010 [quote name="former bh eagle 25" post="939895" timestamp="1293741034"]his name is perry carrington not robison[/quote]I was hoping he did not mean Robinson.
Bill Dauterive Posted January 2, 2011 Report Posted January 2, 2011 Gordon Speer. Although he played QB, the offense went through him. He was a hell of a runner. Later played for Rice. Mike Armstrong and Kenneth Doucette were very good as well.
Bill Dauterive Posted January 3, 2011 Report Posted January 3, 2011 [quote name="eagle65" post="941281" timestamp="1294026381"]mike hamilton pete garner[/quote]I played on the same team as those guys. Not bad.
bh89-2 Posted January 3, 2011 Report Posted January 3, 2011 I honestly cant remember a stand-out back, but my memory only goes back to the 70's. Perry was fast but ran East and West more than North and South. There were a couple Fords and Bradfords that were decent over the years. Tracy Earl was pretty good back in the 80's. Chris Daniels was a good runner, even though a QB. Got a couple coming up that may make a list one day.
former bh eagle 25 Posted January 3, 2011 Report Posted January 3, 2011 perry was a good north south runner most of his plays were to the out side
MHS32 Posted January 4, 2011 Report Posted January 4, 2011 Jeff Jones and Thurmond Blake. Perry put the ball on the ground too much and could not take a hit.
EagleEyes Posted January 4, 2011 Report Posted January 4, 2011 A better way to do this may be doing by decades. Talk to Jabo or Coach Horn and I'm sure they can fill you from players of the late 60's if not earlier, 70's to present. But some of the good ones I remember watching growing up are Troy Hanson (late 80's) and Jeff Jones (early 90's). I played with Phillip Davis - good football player but one of the better athletes ever to come thru BH - played it all - football, basketball and ran track (even played a year of baseball - I'm sure Coach Staulbaum and Johnson remembers that). Holds the school record with running a 47 qtr at the state meet. Believe he medaled in three events that year. But with that being said there was some good talent in the early years of BH. There's a guy in the Hall of Honor who's in the Canadian Football Hall of Fame, can't think of his name on the top of my head. Also when coaching there in the 2000's we had some good ones that played there: Blake, Carrington, Shows, Patton's and Little. I know I left some off sorry about that....
Go-rilla Posted January 5, 2011 Report Posted January 5, 2011 Shows was better than Davis.. Davis could kick the ball through the uprights though!!Davis was a great athlete, just not the best RB.
slimbo7722 Posted January 5, 2011 Report Posted January 5, 2011 Jones is still BH's all-time career rushing leader.

Loves to hunt and fish. Strong as a bull. Funny story, couple years ago we recruited him to run a 204 mile non-stop race with us from Gonzales Texas to the San Jacinto monument. I think there were a few legs of that race we could have caught him praying, or at least crying....LOL He made it and yes was a work horse.
