Who are you sports freak? I played with Mike Nipper at Central in 80-81. He was one heck of a ball player. Dont know of anyone else who came through Central that could hit it like him with the exception of Todd Helton.

 

Bubba Trammell could swing the bat a little bit, too.

 

That team with Helton, Trammell, Chris Freeman, and Pug Wood was one heck of a baseball team.

If you were around back then, a guy by the name of Stan Cook came along after that. To me he is the second best hitter to ever wear the Red and Black.

I grew up with Stan. We played Little League together at Ft. City. He was a Soph when I was a senior. And you are correct, he could flat out hit it--but I think Nipper was just as good and in HS had more power. Stan is now a Federal Flight marshal. I saw him a year or two ago and he is HUGE. Not fat, about 6'-4" and around 230 or so. I only remember him mainly as a kid in high school whre he was very aaverage sized.

Talk to him and Scott on a regular basis, they are great people. Wish Central baseball would get back to the way it used to be!

    • And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…
    • Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads. 
    • Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.
    • After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time. 
    • Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
