Sir,
Read your column Friday 19th and noted your piece about Jeremy Simpson and Mark Higgs.
In 1969, Bath County had a great running back-Frank Jones. Frank was the leading scorer in Kentucky high school football that year. Jones scored 38 TDs and 22PATs for a total of 250 points.
Jones rushed for a total of 3,361 yards in 327 carries in 1969. Frank's average per carry was 10.24 yards.
The above statistics ware taken from the Nov. 13, 1969 Louisville Courier-Journal.
Also, Frank Jones is the all-time rushing leader for Morehead State University.
Am enclosing a copy of the Courier-Journal article from which the above statistics were taken.
Yours for good sports,
W. Burl Kincaid, Jr.
