VTEC,

 

High School Heroes of my youth ... see if any ring a bell:

 

Ricky Kenny - Bobby Nick - Doug Garner - Mike Patton - "Super" Cosby? - Mark Stinnett - Kenny Teffeteller - Scot "Jacques" Kidd - Terry Rutherford - Ronnie Waters - Kenny Talbot ...

 

There's more, but my memory fails me right now. From around '72 - '76, I spent a lot of time up "on the hill" on Friday nights watching football and then basketball following that. My sister was a student, and my momma loved sports.

 

I guess I should also mention -- Gaye Teffeteller; Karen Keyes ? (I was in love with her but she was too old); Robin Burchfield (was it Burchfield then, or is that her married name? I can't remember).

 

I don't know if they are the same people but I attended Hiwassee College with Kenny Teffeteller, and Terry Rutherford.

 

Horace Maynard high school which is now Union County also had a girl named Katrina Burchfield who is in the record books as the first player to hit a three point shot in a Tennessee high school basketball game. Seems that the season started on Friday night, and Horace Maynard moved the game to Thursday during school, so it was the first game played in Tennessee the first year for three pointers, ( 1984 I think ) The girls game was first and Katrina hit a three pointer early in the first quarter. If I am not mistaken her mother's name was Robin. The game was against Wynn of Habersham which was located in Campbell County and no longer exists.

 

Three others Norma, Pruden, and Huntsville high schools, which I think were in Scott County. You got to be old school to remember those, from the 60's.

Not sure about Terry, but I was thinking that Kenny went to either Roane or Walters State for two years. I know he finished his college days as a UT Volunteer. He was one of the purest shooters I've ever witnessed.

KWoodroof,

 

Thanks for the info. I don't know why I can't place this school. Must not have ever competed against them during my time in Nashville during the 60's.

 

Cumberland was a A school in the early '60's, and moved to AA, where they stayed until they closed. The move probably happened between '64 and '66, when Ernest Smallen was coaching.

 

Where did you play?

    • Yea I agree I will say tho I was a big “ v “ fan if an  opening ever did happen I think it would’ve been good to see him have a shot coming from a power house like Oakland. I’m sure he’s learned a lot from Kevin.  I bet he would bring a really good offense scheme IMO But after all this I just dunno anymore.  Whatever happens with the rumors an such if it did come to and opening I think this messes it all up.  The board members dreams are slowly slipping away now. I haven’t lived there for awhile I just hear what I hear, but my question is would there be any good potential candidates?? That’s why I don’t understand why people want b s out so bad who else could do any better ?? IMO there’s nothing attractive about it? As I stated earlier I went to the last game last year and taking a leak in a porta Potty is pretty sad and still nothing being done they say .. 
    • I have a sophomore that can do 177 (preferred) or 192. Sent you an email.
    • speaking of board members how can a man get arrested 12 days ago and still be head coaching a team in TC school system? looks like your right about the tc board members. I bet it would be different if they had a kid on the team
