KWoodroof Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 Was Hendersonville & MtJuliet in the old NIL? I only remember the teams from Davidson County being in the league. Hendersonville definitely was; I'll have to check some newspaper info I have at home to give you a definitve answer on Mt. Juliet, but I believe they were as well.

Village Idiot Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 Guys, I didn't know an old fat man could laugh and cry at the same time! What a thread. There are several old neighborhood "legends" that need to be confirmed or debunked. Here are some to think about: TPS/TIS: Ed Echols was, I believe, the only 5-time all state lineman in history. This would have been somewhere in the '40's, I think. Anybody remember? Litton: What about Billy Kee? West: AK Smith, who later became a rather successful basketball coach/concessions manager? Maplewood: If the NIL survived into, say, 1981 or so, what about the Goodloe and Young tandem Mama Johnson had in his backfield in the late '70s/early 80's? Pearl: Keeping in the same time frame, Amos Drummond? MT Juliet: Maybe not in the NIL, but a lot of Nashville teams faced them. Had a linebacker by the name of Tim Majors who was almost as good as EJ Junior (but not quite). Finally, anybody remember the name Budro Harrington? Thanks--- VI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigchief Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 The linebacker at Mount Juliet was Tim Bryant in 1981. He later played at Vanderbilt and Southern Mississippi. Later in the CFL and for the Vikings. He still lives in the area and last I heard ran a "boot camp" type deal for juvenile offenders. Really nice guy. There were A BUNCH of Majors guys at MJ through the years. James "Ruby" Majors was one. There is no mention of an Ed Echols at TPS ever being selected all-city back to 1930. James "Red" Gaylor made it three straight years at center in '48, '49, and '50. Perhaps this is who you are thinking of? I have A LOT of Litton background in me and I do not know who Billy Kee is. I will have to research that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
