Howard "Grandaddy" Gamble has turned out a number of great kickers at Franklin High School. David Campbell is headed to UT to kick as well as David Defatta to Marshall both All-State last year. Colby Smith was named SBC All-Conference at MTSU.

 

This year it's John Bell. Some may remember his older brother Joe, from two years ago, known for his special teams skill at returning punts and kickoffs (6) six for touchdowns. John has waited patiently behind the two Davids but now is prepared to shine.

 

This week he put 8 of 10 kick offs in the end zone and was 4 of 5 at FG of 50 yards. HIs hang time on punts may be the best we've seen in some time.

 

Look for another great special teams effort this year from Franklin under Coach Ken Curtis

The McKenzie Rebels have senior John Kermit Laughrey. He's noted for his accuracy and his distance is in the 45-50 yard range as well. He is also a pressure kicker which is a plus. If the snap and hold are good, you can count on Laughrey.

 

Most teams in this area wish they had a kicker as good as he is. He's 5'11" @ 155lb. (last season!) and lives to kick!

    • We could sure use some math teachers country wide. Ever go into a store or restaurant and the bill comes to $9.97 and you give them a ten dollar bill and 2 pennies because you wanted a nickle back and then the meltdown starts and the next thing two more people have to come and help figure it out and the place comes to a complete halt. I see this everyday and it's a sad representation of all these schools allowing these kids out the door to get shortchanged the rest of their life. 
    • I like the Pirates chances. I’ll be there as soon as work allows.
    • Stars, I heard we were searching far and wide for some math teachers. Any chance their kids bench press or 40 times are getting checked? LOL I’ve heard good things from 825.  
    • I think it was expected. “Bad” luck I guess to get a couple difference maker QBs in the same class. I thought the decision was made a little early myself, but they were struggling offensively last year.  I assume the running quarterback alco had last year would be a senior this fall, and the transfer would start the following two years in addition to getting a ton of playing time this year. Maybe he waits two yrs, but I doubt it. The kid is good. So is the one who stayed.
    • I'm from Cloudland and we've never played a sectional game.  We need to win tomorrow night to avoid that bus ride.  Us and north greene can play with you guys so I'm expecting good games whoever the matchup is.
