All-Time Carter County Team

[bruno2]

QUOTE(crazzyness @ Apr 8 2007 - 01:38 AM) 826432220[/snapback]Yes. If i'm not mistaking, he averaged better than 30 points per for his CAREER. And that was before the 3 point line. Do you know where the little hash mark on Unaka's floor between the half and three point line? That was he shot from... Regularly.

 

 

Also, when we played there were no classifications , when you went to the district then , it was Johnson City etc etc, in your district .

We had them on the ropes one night in Brooks Gym but some "calls" went against us. A ref got punched over it. /laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

Phil Hardin was on that team, he wasn't shabby either.

peolpe have told me that the hampton teams of the 60's were the biggest thing to ever happen to these parts. i've heard that schools of all sizes would come from everywhere to try to beat them. and when they wasent beating larger school they lived in the gym. it sounds like in the hoosiers movie when their little highschool takes on schools over twice their size with about 7 gym rats on their team and wins the indiana state championship. i would give anything to had been around in those days.

ya they won the state when there wasn't any classifications, i believe Happy Valley did one yr also.

[smokefb]

Never got to see him play, but I here Marty Street was the best player on one of the best teams in Carter Co. history.

[warts4u]

Yes, but Hampton also won it before desegregation. Makes a big difference.

I was reading on here about the Carter County teams and I did not realize Elizabethton was part of the same area. Being from Hancock we are familiar with Hampton , Unaka and Cloudland. Since they are that close how come they do not play each other .

[CoachSH]

yeah Elizabethton is also in Carter County. This would be a nice 5a school in the state if we had a Carter High School. That would be Cloudland, Elizabethton, Hamton, Happy Valley, and Unaka.

 

I know that Cookeville TN combined years ago and our now the largest school in the state. If Carter did this it would be one of the largest in the state and would be bringing home some State Titles in all kinds of sports. East Tn would not be talking about Maryville athletics they would be Talking about Carter athletics.

 

I know this would not happen but would be really nice would it not for Northeast TN and Carter County to be a force.

 

One thing that I have learned since leaving this area is that most other areas do not have City and county schools and do not have schools as close together as we do. That is very different about carter which is a good thing but also a bad thing becuase if we combined we could be on top all the time....

Webster first name at HV was Danny.. Marty Street also played there alone with the Walkers boys who were good..

Did anyone menton Jerry white at Hampton, Leon Tolley, the State MVP

 

At Unaka the best were

1. Eddie Holly

1. Big John Taylor

2. Keith Bowers

3. Phil Hardin & Johnny Bennett

Kenneth Chambers & Aaron Dugger

The Taylor Boys: Ronnie, Larry and Terry.

Larry Morrell

 

Cloudland: Grady Hill and Tony Church.. Church would have been the all Time Leading scorer if there would of been a Three point line. He was deadly from 30 ft. Don't forget Joe Sluder

 

Hampton 7'4 Ken Long Hard to guard him, went on to play at Garner Webb.

Kelly Malone and Craig Fair

 

Elizabethton- Johnny Honeycutt, Phil Pierce, Tony Bradley and Big George Richmond and William Trammel was probably the best.

My dad told me how good Phil Hardin was he said Phil used to beat him bad one on one everyday. They are cousins and grew up together but phil was older. phil was a tall PG if I am correct. I have also heard about Tony Chuch and new he was a great player. thanks for that about phil I almost put him on this list earlier....
