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.

      Well personally I see us going 9-1 so that isn't doom and gloom to me , Most people are thinking 6-4. Bearden will be the possible loss but hoping not. I was very impressed with what I saw this spring.

      the kid you are speaking about, played in JV games,  2H half Science Hill game, split time in Hardin Valley and Bearden and that was it.   The upcoming Senior RB was All Region as a Junior and is regarded by the media as one of the top running backs in East TN for 2024 season. Scouting services have him as a top 10 back in the state.  Something aint adding up with gloom and doom. Maybe he was hurt and not at spring practice when you watched?

      Clinton names new OC

      By oridgecat · Posted

      Are you kidding me?  You are just trolling now.  The new head coach's qualifications would be volunteer coach at the Oak Ridge Boys Club?  C'mon man, you can't be serious.  You're trolling us.  Anybody working at Clinton High School has to be like a cat in a room full of rocking chairs at this point.  They are coming after anybody and everybody that had knowledge of what was going on.  This is about to get real ugly.  Only in Clinton.
