I'm honored to see my name even mentioned on this list. I played at HCHS more than 30 years ago. Not sure what the criteria was - maybe I was a nice guy or got the towels for everyone else in the shower, waterboys are people too! As a 5'8" receiver during the days of the wish bone offense it's amazing I ever got the ball at all. It would be fun to play during the pass happy days that football has evolved into now.
As for guys I saw or played with - the Sledd brothers, Bernie and James, were as good as you got back then. And the Minor brothers both played a little college ball with Paul being my room mate at Sewanee were he later became a DIII All American linebacker . . . I admire Claude Teague, but it's hard to think of Claude without thinking of James Knight who could do anything Claude could do.
Smartest player I ever played with or agaisnt was Bill Jelks whose father coached at Grove and kept my dad on the bench in 50s!
In my older brother's era in the early 70s at HCHS John Register was a man-among-boys, but there were a couple running backs that had jaw dropping moves and power like Pearson and Curis Dickey.
Thanks for letting me play, Coach Y - Bobby Clark AKA - too slow, too small, too dumb to know it.
