All-time Sequatchie football team

[MCRoadWarrior]

Jeff Cartwright, linebacker, 1981 graduate I think. I played against him in 1980. He went on to play at Vanderbilt. He's got to be on the list.

 

IMO Jeff Cartwright should be in there somewhere.

i watched sequatchie over the years especially when they were in the play-offs due to the fact that they usually came this direction or we went that way to play. Some of the players I remember are

QB & REC (tibbs) from the year they lost to Kingston (great game)

tall WR/DE (young)

DT/C when lost to Smith Co. 1988

QB, both LB's, DT in 1993 I think

RB 1995

LB/RB 1998 (I think)

 

Program was impressive from mid 80's til now. I loved it when they ran the bone

QB & REC (tibbs) from the year they lost to Kingston (great game)

tall WR/DE (young) = Trent Young

DT/C when lost to Smith Co. 1988

QB, both LB's, DT in 1993 I think Jackie Fletcher/QB Shawn Edgman/LB Michael Rogers/LB and Brent Cates/DT

RB 1995 Brandon Johnson

LB/RB 1998 Josh Cain

 

I think that's correct I may be wrong......

Terry Ables was the receiver with the broken jaw in 87, his junior year. 6'2" and 190 pounds, caused a lot of mismatches with his height, size and speed. Also played some running back every now and then and was a corner on defense despite his size. That was a pretty big receiver and corner for those days. Alan Broom was a running back, his last year was 87-88 school year. He ranked in the top 3 tri-state scorers that season, despite having nine touchdowns called back on penalties. Ables played small college ball in Missouri, Broom played at Sewanee and later coached in South Pittsburg. Tony Cates played at Air Force, went to Vanderbilt his season year after a diabetic condition developed and it was clear he couldn't fly planes. His team at Air Force whipped Mississippi State in a bowl, that was a wild night, and his team at Vandy came as close as any Commodore team until last year in the last 20 to beating UT. Tony started at defensive end both places, undersized at 230 pounds but quick and tough. Brent played DT at UTC at 250, a starter despite being a bit undersized even at the 1-AA level.

 

Thanks for helping me on the names. Y'all ran a wishbone from a 2 split end formation. It was a tough offense to defend. You had the triple option threat with hard nosed backs and Ables had the talent to catch a deep pass at any point. I loved watching that offense.

The next season, Lipscomb came to Dunlap. If I remember right, you had an assistant coach parachute into the game with the game ball. He landed on the 50, took off his chute and then went to the sidelines and put on the headphones. The Indians were fired up at that point. Lipscomb hit 2 big plays early and then hung on with a goalline stand late in the game to win a very close game. Dunlap is a beautiful place and the football team's are always going to play tough.

I concur SCHS23 Sid Fritts would have to be on the top of that list.

I believe that meant he agrees.

[Sequatchie]

Who was Coaching in 1973 when they went (12-1) losing in the state champ game or 1979 (10-1) and I think they were some good years as well before then as well as in between!

I'll vote Eric Finch. An old fraternity brother and dorm mate of mine at ETSU who showed me tapes of him in Dunlap not two days after we moved in the dorms. Not to shabby of a player at all.

I know he wasn't a player, but one of the greatest assets to Sequatchie Co was Mr. Reynolds. He did the play by play announcing for...several decades. A fine gentleman and I believe he had a lot to do with Sequatchie Co having such fine athletic facilities. He is also in the TSAA Hall of Fame.
