Best players ever in Knox Co. Schools

[gomerpyle]

Here is one from Holston - Tony Oglesby. 6-8 forward, started at Carson-Newman for some national tournament teams in the early 80's - led the team in rebounding. Then he played overseas for several years. Father of Terrance Oglesby, who is playing major minutes as a freshman at Clemson.

 

The Spurling brothers (Greg, Kevin, Wes) from Doyle. They all had pretty good small college careers. Greg later played in the CBA and briefly in the NBA. Kevin played overseas some and in the CBA.

i don't go back too far, but i played against a few good ones in the mid/late 90s... Dye and Shepard from Clinton, Tummel from Halls, Lane from Oak Ridge to name a few.

 

also interesting how many great area football players were decent bball players... clabo, fred smith from fulton, woofster from OR, and a couple from that late 90s halls class that included rutherford that were good at pretty much everything-- football, bball, and baseball.

Josh Tummel from Halls could straight jump out of the gym. When he was at Maryville College I saw him catch and dunk balls that the normal basketball player had no chance of reaching.

Forgot about the privates. I remember an Anderson kid from Catholic in the mid 70's and of course Gettlefinger. Has Webb had any outstanding players, CAK, Grace, TSD, etc...

Regarding Tony White - He is from North Carolina. I believe he played in high school in or around Charlotte. He did not play high school basketball in Knoxville.
