I would argue with anyone on this. Dalton Hilliard was a better HS RB than Kenny Hilliard. Patterson had nothing at the time except Dalton. Kenny played with more talent in more of a spread set. Dalton literally carried his team to the finals against John Curtis. I know people will look at stats, but Dalton was more polished in high school. Kenny's dad, Curtis, was the hardest to tackle of them all.
Johnny Hector is definitely top 5. He played in the highest classification at the time. He made the position look very easy, not to mention he was chiseled like a freak.

Josh Reed was one of the best HS RBs I've ever seen at Rayne, and Cecilia's Jamaican Dartez was phenomenal. I can also remember Garland Jean Batiste from St. Martinville.
Back in my HS days, I remember Melvin Adams from Jennings and Mike January from Westlake.

Btw, if Lawrence Nixon had played 4 years under Matt Viator in Jennings, he would hold the rushing record. He only played 2 seasons because he was a basketball phenom early on.
