Who are the top players from your school? Here are mine, in my opinion, from Meigs County (in no particular order)

 

Cotton Letner - played in the fifties at UT and the NFL

Jack Rayl - early 70's - beast of a lineman - Memphis St.

Don Roberts - Mid 70's - high school all american

Gary Moore - class of 76 - rushed for 2100 yds senior yr...UT alumni

Mike Wilson - class of 82 - all stater in 3 sports

Robby Scott - class of 83 - 3 yr. starter at UT

Jeff Smith - late 80's - 4 yr. starter at UT and 7 yrs. in NFL

Gary Meadows - class of 93 - 2nd all time in the state all purpose yds.

Tyrone Jenkins - class of 96 - led team to state runnerup finish

Jon Thompson - all time leader in all passing categories

 

Just a few (in my opinion)

Doug Atkins (6'8" 260) from Humboldt...he went to UT in i think 1949...UT retired his jersey (#91) last year along with Peyton Manning and Reggie White...he was then drafted in the 1st round in 1953 by the Cleveland Browns...he played there until 1954 and then left in 1955 to go to the Bears where he was really strong...he was there from 1955-1966...then in 1967 he went to the Saints from 1967-1969...he is in the College Football Hall of Fame and in the Pro Football Hall of Fame (1982)...he was a Pro Bowler from 1957-1963 and 1965...he was also the Pro Bowl MVP in 1958...coaches from the NFL have said that there has never been a better defensive end than Doug Atkins...also to go along with this he was also known to leap over offensive linemen to get to the QB or RB in the backfield

    • A little confused.  What charter/prep schools made it to state in Baseball?  
    • Fortuitously encountering Clint amidst the ambience of Goodyear this morning sparked an impromptu yet intellectually stimulating conversation, wherein we engaged in a rigorous assessment of prospective candidates for the esteemed role of head football coach. Our discourse, characterized by its spontaneity and depth, led to the formulation of astute observations and discerning judgments regarding the suitability of various individuals for this pivotal position. Allow me to elucidate the fruits of our collaborative contemplation: This commentary endeavors to offer a discerning articulation of my subjective viewpoint, emphasizing a conscientious commitment to maintaining impartiality and refraining from any semblance of derogation directed towards individuals.  Those who possess meritorious qualifications for the esteemed head coaching role, delineated without hierarchical precedence, include: Rennard Woodmore, an esteemed alumnus of the Yellow Jackets, presents a magnificent pedigree, having held prominent positions in head coaching capacities across various regions. His pivotal role as a coordinator for teams contending for state championships further enhances his stature in the realm of football leadership. Kyle Gregory, erstwhile adorned in the resplendent gold insignia, though lacking direct head coaching experience, brings to the fore his invaluable insights garnered as a coordinator for esteemed teams, showcasing an acute understanding of the requisites for triumph whilst attired in the esteemed purple and gold regalia. Steven Jackson, whose contributions transcended mere clipboard duties under the tutelage of Kevin Creasy, emerges as an exceptional candidate for Trousdale County. His prior tenure and triumphs as an assistant coach underscore his suitability for the role. The sole drawback lies in his lack of affiliation with Trousdale County as an alumnus. Brandon Eden's extensive tenure within the chronicles of Trousdale County football, spanning a significant portion of its State Championships, coupled with his successful stints as a coordinator across diverse locales, underscores his candidacy despite a dearth of direct head coaching experience at the high school level. Davy Cothron, while beset by a modest playing career, has emerged as a luminary in offensive strategy, drawing parallels to the transformative appointment of Barker in 2015, thereby warranting consideration for his proven acumen in this realm. Joshua Hackett, notwithstanding his non-alumnus status, has left an indelible imprint across Middle Tennessee, distinguished by his adept curation of formidable defensive units as a coordinator at Watertown, albeit without direct head coaching experience. Kevin Creasy, the epitome of coaching prowess, merits an offer irrespective of his current inclinations, his unparalleled capacity to secure victories transcending geographical and institutional bounds, potentially extending to a role as Director of Schools should it align with his aspirations. Conversely, individuals who have not demonstrably earned the mantle of head coaching, enumerated without sequential precedence, encompass: Brad Waggoner David Barker Paul Pitts Jeremy Pruitt Clint Satterfield Robbie Atwood Wesley Satterfield Ben Johnson BJ West Whom do you all deem most fitting to assume the mantle of the next coach, and what rationale informs your choice? Conversely, whom do you perceive as ill-suited for the role, and what underpins your reasoning for their exclusion?
    • He's a Clinton fan.  But I wouldn't admit that either.  
    • Their any schedule out their for team camp?
    • This sums it all up to perfection.
