Durio and Pruitt were as far back as I go watching (remembering) da Bronx and I give the edge to Ivory. I think Ivory had a better o-line and Pearson was the QB who defenses had to game plan for and it opened alot of things up. If I remember right but I have knocked back quite a few cold ones since then so.................... ;D

Depends how you look at it.  Durio went on to play at UTEP and started at RB for them.  Then graduated from a Div I college so how can anyone argue with that.  Hmm, what did Roberts do?  Nuff said.  Jeremy Roberts shouldn't even be mentioned in the same sentence as Durio and I shouldn't even have to explain why.

ANYBODY HEARD OF JIMMY PIKE,KEVIN HAYNES ERIC GAINES.THESE GUYS WERE PRETTY GOOD ALSO

Sure have.  David Chapman was a BEAST as well.  He reminded me of a taller Bettis when he played.  Barry Pruitt could have been one of, if not the best but decided to concentrate on basketball.  All good guys on and off the field.

I remember watching my brother play against Pruitt back in the day. Pruitt would have 30 points and the coach was still yelling PRUITT!!!!

I'd take Roderick Amey over Broderick and Ivory over Kenny.

The best RB to come through Dayton statistically is Michael Dugat.  When Michael graduated he was #5 on the all time list for 4A runningbacks in the state of Texas with over 5000 yards rushing.  He is also the only one with a 2000 yard season which came as a sophomore.

It's Ivory Durio hands down.  Probably the best player to ever play in Dayton.
