STARSNBARS Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 Yes MHS ran the bone AND SPLIT-BACK formation with two quick backs..... very similar to GQ's split-backs of today. Coach Benny Monroe (Ooltewah HS) ran the offense. On the 70 team, Mynatt, Burchfield, Elrod & Hood shared time at the split backs. Tommy Beaver an awesome option QB and could also throw it. He played at 6-2, 190 which as very big for a QB in those days. Tommy could fly and was the 100yd man on the track team, pitcher & infielder on the baseball team & the 3 spot on the basketball team. GQ would love to have Beaver in the shotgun spread option formation MHS runs today. Many of the players of the 70s era couldn't play with today's players, but Tommy was before his time. I believe he could play today. At the Championship QB reunion from a couple of years ago, many of the young QBs couldn't believe how big he is today (and was at that time).

The last half of the season, MHS seemed to run more split-back option than bone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mhs Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 Rebelron, could that 76 kicker have been Kenny Travis? Tommy Beaver, yes definitely ahead of his time. Also an outstanding golfer and I think he may still working at as golf pro at a country club in Georgia perhaps? Not so much he played so many sports, but played them all WELL. Blazing fast ball in baseball. Agree with Philster on the quanity of players; may be easier to do it by decades? Joe Costner, Charlie Young, Larry Johnson, Robert Calloway, Hal Ferst just to name a few deserve a mention as well and they are from the sixties for the most part. Ferst, Al Keener and David Waters did some decent kicking back in the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frankstevens64 Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 I would have to add jimmy wallace to the OL list, he could block anybody, as could chris large. At the DE position i would have andrew hodge and jeff smith at the top. I would also add cole mckinney and ryan headrick to the DT list, not many ppl were able to run up the middle on that D.

plumb69 Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 My experience is limited only to MHS teams since '95, but these are the players that's left a big impression from these years. QB - Brent Burnette (definitely the best pocket passer we've had) 2nd. Toki McCray (I absolutely rank Toki as a better overall athlete than Cade Thompson, Nick Giles, and Jason Phillips, and even Burnette, but we've been very blessed with great quarterbacks at MHS since 1996, that's for sure.) RB - Carl Stewart 2nd. Michael Potter ( Jason Hicks, who was a tough, versatile guy - he even played QB for a while - would have to be our fullback. ) WR - Tyler Maples 2nd. Brad Merritt 3rd. Tyler Gaskin WR - Ryan Maples 2nd. Andrew Clement 3rd. Kyle Harris (he was a late bloomer, but turned into a deadly weapon) ( Obviously, there's no shortage of outstanding receivers that we've had at MHS. Tyler Clendenen this year has been very impressive. Stephen Shiver, Stephen Childs, David Sweetland, Scott Wilks, Alex Rouse, Will Curtiss, Joey Gourley and Jacob Holt would all also have to be considered as well... as long as George Quarles is head coach, our receivers will probably always be very good, since he was a receiver himself.) TE - Aaron Douglas 2nd. Adam Parton ('95-'96 guy, Douglas is the first pure TE we've had since Parton, really...) OL - Chase Anderson OL - Chuck Prugh OL - Brandon Waters OL - Nick Black OL - John Raulston ( every time I hear about this guy it's always like he's been graded "perfect" on his performances, even though he wasn't that big compared to the others listed here ) (We've had a lot of great linemen thanks to Coach David Ellis... Matt Sharp, Issac Simerly, Drew Eubanks, Matt Tinker, Issac Cline, Chris Large, Jimmy Wallace, Cory Everett, Matt Gardner, Bobby Browning, Rhett Brooks, Justin Huskey, the list goes on and on. And this year's group is turning into a pretty good one too.) DE - Drew Galyon DL - Cole McKinney ( best run stuffer we've ever had, since '95 anyway ) DL - Brad Hilsher ( though he was a DE ) DE - Andrew Hodge OLB - tie / Matt Oliver, Josh Theriot MLB - tie / Stephen Pacifico and/or Matt Valentine. Andrew Healy was darn good here as well... OLB - tie / Colton Baker and/or Morgan Shinlever ( very underrated '98 guy, but you did not want to be hit by him ) CB - tie / Ryan Maples and/or Matt Stalcup CB - tie / Tyler Maples and/or David Sweetland ( short as he may be, Sweetland was known as "Mr. Excitement" for us in '96-'97 ) S - tie / Kyle Harris and Patrick Vananda ( '95-'96 guy, you guys probably won't remember him, but he was one of the few stars for us back then ) S - Scott Wilks ( another fierce hitter ) K - probably Takayuki Koyano is the best pure kicker we've had, although I'd want Anderson Kerr / Justin Deardorff, both from '96-'98, these two pretty much started the great kicking tradition we've had at Maryville for years and I personally wouldn't trade them for anybody else. Andrew Baumann was also an excellent clutch kicker as well. KR - Tyler Maples (no question, he's the fastest guy we ever had at MHS since '95 at least) - a great team of returners for us would be Tyler, Ryan Maples, and David Sweetland. Too bad they were all a few years apart from each other - heh. EDIT - Modified list 12/8/07, added Matt Stalcup, Colton Baker, and Andrew Baumann. With a post like that I'm glad your expeience is limited to post '95. Off the top of my head I think Spradlin is the best I've seen come through Maryville but Douglas is very close.
