Roadrunner89 Posted July 25, 2018 Report Share Posted July 25, 2018 The 1986 Austin-East Roadrunners. One of the greatest teams to come out of Knoxville! Led by Mr. Football winner & Parade All-American, Leroy Thompson Had 2 1000+ yd rushers in Thompson & Joey Smith The defense was also dominant and had several shut-outs Went undefeated (15-0) & played in a conference that included Knoxville Rule, Alcoa, & Maryville among others. We beat Maryville twice that year! Beat Brentwood Academy in the Clinic Bowl to win the 2A State Championship Several players from that team went on to play college ball. Most notably Leroy Thompson at Penn State & Joey Smith at Louisville Thompson & Smith went on to play in the NFL. Thompson with the Steelers, Patriots, Chiefs, & Buccaneers Smith with the Giants Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He finished his career with 41 interceptions too. Heckuva BB player as well. I can remmeber a few names from that year; Joe Cody, Joe Fishback, Von Reeves...

Also the Warriors (95) Led by Eric Westmoreland defeated the likes of 5A teams Soddy-Daisy, Rhea Co. also a 4A team in Shelbyville and add DII Private Baylor also on their way to the state title. That group of players formed a mini dynasty as Marion Co. went 56-1 with 3 state titles during those seniors 4 years. they were the reason Cartlon quit playin PUBS......also sen them make BA leave a runner-up gold ball trophy on the filed one time Booger just sayin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason that D2 was formed is because Brentwood Academy defeated Riverdale for the state championship and that is when Rankin and the principal of Riverdale started to lobby for a private school division. Randy Thomas (former coach at Springfield) predicted the split would happen when BA defeated Rankin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
