Iknow I'm aging myself, but I played against NFL Hall of Famer, John Hannah, when he played at Baylor School and I played at Castle Heights Military Academy in Lebanon in 1967.

 

I played against John for two years. Mercifully, he left his senior year and played for Albertville or Guntersville. I'm using the term "played against" loosely because if John was playing football, I must have been playing tiddly winks. He blocked half the line and had future Georgia Tech running back, Rob Healy, running behind him. He was an extremely muscular 6'3" and 250 pounds. He played at 280 for the Pats.

Has anyone mentioned Scott Wells of Brentwood Academy, Tennessee and Green Bay?

 

I also saw Dennis "Bigfoot" Harrison (Riverdale. Vandy, Eagles) in the mid '70's. His son is now in the NBA I think. (David Harrison - Brentwood Academy, Colorado, NBA)

 

The single best high school player I ever saw in Tennessee was probably Leroy Thompson of Austin East. He dominated a game on offense and defense like few ever have. Big John Henderson came close to that type of domination, but he didn't do as much on offense as Leroy. Eric Westmoreland could also dominate a game in the same type of way.

A few years back, Crockett County had the pleasure of playing a playoff game at Melrose against a team that featured Cedric Wilson (Steelers), Kindal Moorehead (Panthers), and Dewayne Robertson (Jets). They also had David Payne, who as a junior was possibly their best player. He was part of the Alabama scandal, I believe, and to my knowledge never played any pro ball.

 

The Cavaliers also faced Jabrari Greer (Bills) of Jackson Southside that season, if I remember correctly.

Yes. Mike did play at MTSU. Had a real good career there. I also saw Eric Thomas play in HS. Another guy for Oak Ridge who wasn't drafted, but signed on as a FA with the Chiefs, but ended up tearing his knee up in training camp and never was the same. Played for Oak Ridge in the mid 80's. Was also All ACC in 1989 with the GA Tech Yellow Jackets as a LB. Maybe you saw Mike play since you are from down around that area? Do you remember Alex Stuart from Oak Ridge? He played for MTSU also a few years ago.

      West TN Head coach jobs

      By sportslover88 · Posted

      20 but had 5-6 not dressed every game. It went down towards the end due to injuries and obviously only 15 got to dress for the state tournament. Then, they only lost 2 from this year and gain 8 from the middle school for next year

      Clinton grade changing scandal

      By oridgecat · Posted

      As somebody mentioned before, this is going to result in a massive lawsuit, can you imagine professional "educators" actually having the conversation about getting "the bad kids" out of the high school?  And the head coach asking directly to change grades, gets turned down, comes back again and gets it approved?  This is unbelievable.  In addition to the lawsuit, the state Department of Education is going to come down extremely hard on this.  WYSH is on the war path.  There could be dozens more lose their jobs by the time this is over.  And yeah the real shame is the kids being affected that literally had nothing to do with this and actually worked hard to earn their grades.

      I've heard Powell from someone who talked to him. I saw the kid two days ago and I should of pulled over and talked with him and wished him well where ever he goes. It will be a ale of a loss for us because I don't believe we have anyone in the stable good as him from what I seen in the spring.

      Clinton grade changing scandal

      By boyfromsi · Posted

      I would have to think that the firing of the 2 teachers is just the beginning of future moves.  If not, it is woefully short.  If the AC school board thinks that the damage is just limited to Clinton, they are sadly mistaken.  Any outsider would view the whole school system as suspect, and rightly so.

      Clinton grade changing scandal

      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.
