Big Men- where are they?

[larry]

As an old-timer I remember going to the state, picking up a program, and looking through the lineups at all of the 6-10, 6-9, 6-8 guys. It seemed like every team had one and some had several. Where are they these days?

 

This would have been back when there were schools like Chattanooga Riverside, Pearl, Cameron, as well as Melrose, Science Hill, etc.

Maryville should be strong for many years to come with Douglas(the best big man in the state), and the shooting of Damron,Click and Lambert. Next year they will be tough as ever and their freshman crop is outstanding and big. Reynolds will give Maryville a unique size advantage over just about everyone. Defense was the key to Maryville's success in the tournament and the big man plugged the middle like no one else in the tournament. He deserves alot more credit and was the "big difference". Douglas will need to consider playing two sports in college and is truly a unique athlete. I think next year Click is the point , allowing Damron and Lambert to do what they do best , shooting the threes. Pickle should also be a big contributer with his inside game. Keep it going guys and repeat . By the way who were the two guys who went into the Clarkesville fan section? Must of been football players? /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
