7. Nick Spradlin-Wheelersburg-Elon
9. Cam Miller, Wheelersburg, Western Carolina-Marshall

It was Drew Spradlin, not Nick. Drew was recently named to the Academic All-American team!
Cam Miller is now playing at Mountain State, the same school where Nick Aldridge graduated from.

[The Ghost of Swanker]

Nick Aldrige just flew to Australia to play professional ball there for the Ballarat Miners

[Peake]

YEa my bad on Spradlin, it has been a while.

Good for Cam, always liked him.

Yea I saw that Nick was playing pro ball over sea's. Also very happy for him. He has been through a lot of ups and downs.

[ndc soccer]

Im almost sure Kevin Netter went to Southeastern. I grew up watching the Piketon/SE battles of Doug Williams and Kevin Netter.

You give me those ten guys and I venture to guess they would win a few ball games

[Peake]

I am sorry guys, but Aldridge would eat half of these guys for dinner.

He was a 6'8 combo guard forward who could handle it, shot it, take you to the rack, or post you up.

I love Dennis, Cam, Drew and Burleson, but he was a different animal then all of these guys.

I totally agree that Aldridge was a great player and his point total of 2000+ was amazing. In a game I will never forget in their last regular season matchup, Cam Miller (his Jr. Year) scored 38 pts while grabbing 16 boards against Aldridge. Burg won this game just before the Jeeps glided through the tournament and won their State Championship. Not to take anything away from Aldridge in any way, but Cam did quite well head to head with Aldridge.

[The Ghost of Swanker]

we lost that one on a buzzer beater from Cowgill right?

[Crab's Brother]

As good as Aldridge was, he was not near the player that Drew Burleson was. Burl handled it, shot it, and defended better than Nick and was just a more complete player.

[The Ghost of Swanker]

Nick finished with 2011 points and didn't play the first 5 games of his senior season also.

[NormanDale]

Why didn't he play the first 5 games swanker?

[Peake]

Lets compare---Nick was originally recruited by UC and Bob Huggins. Went on to be 1st team all conference and freshmen of the year. Sorry but Cams career thus far is not very impressive.

Burleson was a far better athlete, but Andrew was 6'5 and 225. Nick was 6'8 245-250.

[quote="NDC Soccer"]Im almost sure Kevin Netter went to Southeastern. I grew up watching the Piketon/SE battles of Doug Williams and Kevin Netter.[/quo

I thought Netter transferred to Southeastern, could be from Adena I could be wrong too. Although Williams was a transfer to Piketon from Eastern

[Ironman92]

Cam Thoroughman.....can't believe he plays for WVU. His jr year he helped his team to the district finals and lost to SW and Aldridge I believe and then was out about 1/2 of his senior year and his team got drilled in the sectional by Whiteoak who was led by star player Robbie Barnett who completely hounded him the entire time Cam was in the game as he fouled Cam out in the 3rd qtr.

But Cam was 6'8 and could shoot.....odd he is now much stronger and rarely shoots at all and is pretty much a bruiser for WVU.....but it is awesome that he actually contributes on a solid Big East team....few can match that.

[art_vandelay]

You're all wrong...Brett Roberts (South Webster 1985-88) was better than all of them! Of course I was only 8 years old his senior year so my memory is probably skewed. 6'7" forward who had gym range. I heard then-OSU coach Gary Williams apologized to Webster's coaching staff for not opening the videotape they had sent after he watched Brett dominate Ohio North/South game.

But leading the NCAA D1 in scoring his senior year at Morehead State (28.2ppg) and being drafted in the second round by the Sacramento Kings trumps all in southeastern Ohio. Never played a minute in NBA though as he was drafted by Minnesota Twins in 4th round and went on to top out at AAA. On top of all that, a quality person who is still a big part of the Webster school system and community.*

[sparky]

ironman,
thoroughman has definitely turned into a role player at west virginia under huggins. in his defense he was recruited by beilein who liked big guys who could shoot the three then huggins comes along and turns him into a screen setting, rebounding, physical defensive player who probably would get his fingers broken if he took a three.

[Chesapeake]

James Dempsey was the best point guard in Chesapeake basketball history, in my opinion,their have been alot good players come through the system but by far number 1.The team James played on,I think was one of the best in school history.One persons opinion.

Wasn't he on the Varsity team as a freshman?

[earp]

I am with art on this one,I say Brett Roberts!
