CLOSED SCHOOLS


Red Rebels

Recommended Posts

Young High in Knoxville. Closed in early 70's, I think. Phil Clabo (P) and Richard Pickens (RB) went on to play at UT.

 

When Young closed, students merged with South High to form South-Young. That school later closed, rezoning students to Doyle High, which is now South-Doyle.

 

Pickens was a good one at UT. I remember in 66 Maryville went undefeated in the regular season and Pickens ran all over them in the Optimist Bowl. Wasn't there also an East High school in Knoxville at one time?

I remember Kirkman real well. They beat Maryville in 1979. Maryville went on to be state runner up that year. Kirkman had a great receiver and quarterback that year. Kirkman started out 2-0 that year after their win vs Maryville. In Kirkmans next game their starting quarterback gets hurt and is out for the year. Kirkman didn't win another game. That quarterback was awesome.

 

Maryville played Kirkman again in 1980. Maryville beat them the next year 35-0. Maryville whipped Kirkman a few more times also. Can't remember the exact years though.

    • Should be a big week in Dayton coming up with the 100th anniversary of the Scopes Monkey Trial.
    • AE has a lot of new transfers and a very good incoming freshman class to mess with the current players.  That's why I'm saying don't sleep on AE.  Many are thinking they can't get back to their winning ways but I think this 2025 team will open a lot of eyes and let the state know, AE won't be an easy win anymore.

    • Correct information on your part Waco regarding your years and wins with no generalities. if Fulmer had not been fired, he would have easily been retired for several  years by now. It’s a new regime at TN participating in the deepest football conference in America.
    • Take your own advice Mr. Bill.  Memphis should stay out of the national news if it doesn't want people knowing about their "business."  SP's classes of '25, 26 and 27 contributed as well.  At the beginning of the season, we weren't sure if SP could make it out of the 2nd or 1st round in 2024 due to only 2 or 3 seniors only 1 of which played much.  We were extremely proud of that 2024 team for what they accomplished between game 1 and game 15.
