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!

    • Eagleville hosting shows laziness on the part of the TSSAA and a complete disregard for the appearance of impartiality. Absolutely nothing against EHS. Its not their fault TSSAA is lazy.    I understand EHS staff work the games at Eagleville, and they don’t want to miss the EHS games. However this isn’t rocket science. It would take less than 1 hour to cross-train EHS and RHS volunteers at the opposite sites. If Eagleville (or any host)  makes the tournament, flip their game site and have the volunteers flip sites for the days their school plays at the opposite site. Magically the school’s fans would be present to watch the their kids play and the kids at least lose some familiarity and home field advantage.  It takes almost no effort and is a ~15 minute extra drive.    
    • Jason Lambert should be the only choice for the Baseball coaching position. 
    • From the stats I found online it looks like Gabe Eddington- .484, 44 total hits, 43 runs scored and 42 stolen bases.Meanwhile, on the mound, the Austin Peay commit had a record of 8-2, while compiling 50 innings pitched with an ERA of 1.82. Carson Parrott - 7-0 overall as a starting pitcher with a 1.41 ERA, 95 strikeouts and a save in 53 and 1/3 innings pitched. Parrott hit .392 with 3 home runs, 21 RBIs with a .566 OBP and .716 SLG. Jaxon Walker - .454, 53 hits, 38 RBI’s, 9 HRs.   Not saying the other three aren’t deserving but Quillen had better BA than all three and was just as dominate pitching.  Like I said I don’t know how you leave off the 3a Baseball player of the year last year when he put up better numbers.  I know Greeneville’s Coach wasn’t happy about it saying “I don’t give a s*** what anybody else says. That kid is the best player in Tennessee, and everybody else on our team rises to his level“.  I’m sure winning another State Championship as a junior is more important to Carson than the individual award, it’s just a head scratcher to not be nominated
