I played for Livingston Academy 2000 - 2004. Played DE and Center. Went a combined 31-14 in my four years. made it to the semi finals as a senior went 11-2. Most memorable game would be a 26-23 victory over Portland in overtime.

 

I came and watched that game. It was a good one. Both teams left it on the field. By the way, it was the quarterfinals. ;)

WAVERLY HIGH SCHOOL 86-87 STARTED AT QB AS SOPH AND JR. MOVED TO LEXINGTON FOR 88 STARTED AT TE AND CB ON LAST LEXINGTON REGULAR SEASON UNDEFEATED TEAM. BEST GAME THAT NEVER HAPPENED WAS THE THIRD ROUND OF THE STATE PLAYOFFS THAT WOULD HAVE MATCHED US UP WITH WAVERLY WHO WAS ALSO UNDEFEATED AT THE TIME. WOULD HAVE LOVED TO PLAY AGAINST ALL MY FRIENDS FROM THERE, BUT WE LOST TO MEMPHIS TREADWELL AND THE X-MAN AND WAVERLY KILLED THEM THE NEXT WEEK. WENT ON TO PLAY ONE YEAR AT LAMBUTH AND THEN MY GIRLFRIEND ( AND PRESENT WIFE OF 16 YEARS) AND MYSELF CAREFULLY PLANNED OUT OUR STARTING OF A FAMILY (RIGHT!!) GREAT TIMES THOUGH. WORST GAME WAS BEATING HUMBOLDT IN FIRST ROUND OF STATE PLAYOFFS MY SR YEAR AT LEXINGTON. CAUGHT A TOUCHDOWN PASS ON 4TH DOWN LATE IN THE GAME AND WE BEAT THEM 14-13. AFTER THE GAME THEIR STARTING CENTER RAMMED HIS HEAD IN THE WALL IN FRUSTRATION AND DIED SHORTLY AFTER. SOMETHING I THINK ABOUT QUITE FREQUENTLY AND ALWAYS REMIND MY PLAYERS WHEN I SEE THEM DOING SOMETHING STUPID LIKE HITTING THEIR FIST ON THE WALL OF A DUGOUT. YOU NEVER KNOW.

Played for Loretto HS 1961-1964. Nose Guard and right guard on offense..played any where from 200 to 220 pounds (big boy in those days). 10-1 my freshemen year and 7-4 senior year. The other were bad 4 or 5 wins a year. Worst thing is we never could be Lawrence County HS.

Big Maryville HS fan now...my kids went to school there with the last graduating in 1999.

Wow..I remember reading about that and have told that story many times to kids to just let them know of the importance of keeping their cool. Football is a great game, but it`s not worth doing something dumb over. Can`t believe it was that many years ago. Didn`t he drop a punt late in the game?

Grundy Co. of course. 81-84 seasons. 85 grad.

Line both ways of course.

Best personal game was against Whitwell in 83. Have no clue about my personal stats but I know it was my best game.

 

Best game for the team was the 83 comback victory over Marion Co. Ken Colquette's Warriors were up 21-0 at the half against a Grundy team that had only won 2 games. They were 5-1 or 5-2 at the time and favored by 30 to spank us. We came back and tied the game on the back of the legend Steve Turner. In overtime they scored first and kicked the PAT. We had to go to 4th down to score on our posession. We went for two and Mike Northcutt hit the great Tim Orange in the corner of the end zone to give us the 29-28 win. The entire second half our 150 at the most fans were louder than Marion's 800+.

 

Out of four years that's the game that means the most.

 

DL.

I know the thread says Tennessee teams, but I am as proud of my alma mater as anyone else on here.

 

Shannon Red Raiders, Shannon Mississippi class of 1978. 1-8 junior year followed by an 8-2 senior year where it seemed like every away game was somebody's homecoming. We ruined most of them :D

 

Played junior college basketball, because no body seemed to want a 6 foot 5 inch 165 pound tight end.

    • Yeah. AC brass walked in to the building at Clinton and suggested that the principal start changing grades.  Honesty, the notion that anybody at AC was involved is just idiocy.  The ones who are hurt most are the kids who weren't involved in the cheating, but still are being penalized by college admission decisions and scholarship consideration simply because they went to a school that was involved in such a scandal. 
    • I heard it was ugly.  Coach Harig and the Redskins demolished what is left of the Dragon Wagon.  At this point, it is not certain that Clinton will even be able to field a football team for 2024.  No way the coach keeps his job, transfers gone, nothing left.  Back to the stone ages for the Dragoons.  
    • Not even close, changing over 1000 grades?  Head coach changing grades to keep players on the field?  Not the same.  They will give Lieutenant Flip Flops the "Opportunity to resign"  right after graduation if not before.     Negative, the juvenile court judge blew the whistle.  Clinton admin, teachers and coaches started this fire.  Been going on for 4 years now according to Jones, one of the teachers that was fired.  This is truly pathetic.   The Dragon Wagon is #### up in the ditch down on highway 61 down there near The Spur.  Reap what you sew. 
    • What ever happened to the #93 rb that came in and did well last year when yalls RBs we’re going down?
    • Going to be a rough season for coach Egghead and the hawks. Everyone picking the under
