From the State tournament team that lost to Bolivar in the early 70s.
Junebug Edmonds
Charlie Fred Dickey
Duke Mays
Ellis Manchester
Preston White
That team would have won it all if there had been classification back then.
Other players after that.
Bobby White
Rudy Simpson
Billy Bardwell
Lenny Banks
Denny Banks
Timmy "Mookie" White -- I believe the only player from Kenton to dunk in a game.
Leon Harris
Dallas King
Stephen Reed
Tommy Sisco
Ken Covington
Tony Perryman
Anthony "Ace" Cannon - I always thought Bardwell was the best shooter, maybe Ace was a little better
Ronnie Banks - best rebounder ever, and I mean EVER -- nobody wanted any part of those elbows
Eric Brooks
Though the population was less than 1500, Kenton always seemed to produce teams that consistently beat Union City, Dyer County, Dyersburg, Westview, Obion Central, etc. -- and the gym was always packed.
Produced some good girl players as well.
Darlene Woods
Tina Smithson
Nena Johns
Michelle Skinner
Tammy ???
Darlene dates to back to the 3-on-3 days.
Unfortunately for the girls, Bradford was usually a roadblock to the state tourney, although Kenton did have a 3 year run at the state led by Skinner, Beth Smithson, and the Tammy (whose last name escapes me -- Burress?)
Good times.
