Buchtel ready to name new head coach

[longtimefirsttime]

It reportedly will be Ricky Powers. Long-time Massillon fans will definitely remember that name.

I watched him in an all-star game and he was the best back that I had ever seen and still may be the best that I have ever seen.

Ricky Powers was a heckuva RB in his day and is also a very good person in helping the youth of Akron. He does a lot that many people don't hear about and I'm glad he will get the chance to coach at Buchtel.

BTW, Massillon Catholic, you better watch out for Monte now with that comment about Powers being the best back you've ever seen. Even though I am slightly biased, I would vote for Travis McGuire, then Charles Woodson as the best high school backs I've ever seen.

Not in the same class as Carlos Snow from CAPE, IMHO

I forgot about Woodson. Travis certainly is one of the top three. Especially, with that spin move he had. I've never seen another high school back have that move.
