Best backs

Doing yesterday’s list got me thinking of the top senior running backs that I’ve seen in the past four years. Here are some of the memorable ones, in my opinion, in no particular order.

Scott Tinning, Preston -- The guy went through the playoffs on one knee and was still tough to take down.

Andrew Van Pelt, Bluevale -- He pretty much single handedly willed the Knights to the Western Bowl in the play down vs. Saugeen.

Beau Landry, Rez -- Best is yet to come from this talented back.

Eric Henderson, Jacob Hespeler -- Not the biggest guy, but tough as nails.

Graham Stevenson, Forest Heights -- Injuries limited his playing time this past season but he has serious talent.

Toppy Vongvilaysone, Cameron Heights -- Was lost in the shadow of Evan Martin but a key contributor to the Gaels run to the final.

Marc Fernades, KCI -- Another big, strong guy who helped KCI during its successful years.

Keaton Jones, SJAM -- He was a huge difference maker when on the field.
