Peabody @ Milan

I'm a big UT fan. Bill Weems from Milan played 4 years for the Vols in the 70's.

I'm sure there are alot more. Milan won it all twice during that decade.

I didn't mean alot more UT players-just good H.S. players.

You would probably know more of the older players then I do. I know we had a lot of good players but Tucker was good about getting the best out of his players. Something that Coach Morris and the coaches do today. Make decent players good and good players great.

Now there's a post that celebrates success, trumpets tradition, and brings pride to any fan of the program.

And he did not even mention Earnest Fields and John Fisher- the first 2 guys from the same high school to be captains at the same time for the Vols.

 

2 big names there that I did forget to mention. Thanks for bringing them up skyhawk /thumb[1].gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":thumb:" border="0" alt="thumb[1].gif" /> And I remember being able to meet John Fields when I was younger. He refereed the flag football games in Milan when I was younger and playing.

That's a good list. Add P.A. Pratt, Jeff Smith, John Fisher, Rod Smith. I"ve seen every player since 76' and Earnest Fields was the best.

There you go. Late 60"s for Randy Farrell and Hal Holmes. Back to the 70"s for Michael and Terry Clark, Cecil Jones, Luther Smith, Tim Knight, Tim Jackson-all those guys were on the '77 Championship team.

Early 70's- Jeff Chandler, Alan Ford, and Randy Wheeler.

 

Tons of great players at both schools.

 

Wish the Trenton guys would throw in. I used to hang around years ago.

    • Understand the young thing.  I was one of those.  Barely 17 when I graduated from high school and started college.  But redshirting for athletic purposes isn't doing them any favors, in my opinion.  Life isn't always going to be fair.  
    • Eye heer thait Mairvul Hi addministrayshun iz moore wurried abowt water pistulls, thain they ere abowt messin' upp tha footbawl feeled.....
    • The Girls Basketball team I am a part of played for a gold ball this season. One of the biggest differences in the sports is that there is no field prep/maintenance in basketball.   Our baseball is successful and play 30 games in the regular season as well. All of the teams dedicate A LOT of time in preparing for their next opponent. 
    • Im pretty excited about the new rules that NFHS voted to adopt. Does anyone know if this will take place in Tennessee starting this year? I think I heard/read somewhere that the TSSAA bi-laws say they have to mirror what the NFHS does, and when the NFHS offered the current weight classes as options, TSSAA didn’t adopt them until NFHS made them official. Did NFHS make these changes official starting next season or will it be similar to the weight classes where TSSAA doesn’t change what they are doing until it is  an officially official part of the NFHS rule book? It’ll be interesting to see if it is rolled out for the new TSSAA Middle School season and I saw a post where the youth wrestling in TN was going to vote on adopting it as well.  I’ll pray for all the youth coaches that will have to shoulder the confusion from all those crazy #### parents who already think they know the rules more than everyone else  . Imagine the first time their kid is taken down and a 3 goes up on the scoreboard or their kid gets pinned with only one point of contact in the cylinder. Their heads might explode. i kid, I kid. Sort of. I’m surprised ride time was brought down with all the other changes. I know some argue that it promotes stalling on top, but its been an official scoring method in college forever, so I figure it must be doing something right. Do any of you think that’ll ever be implemented?
