Any of you guys know Dewayne Sherlin or Shane Brown?

 

Both played on the 1989 state championship team.Dewayne was very athletic. He is back in Gallatin coaching some youth football and baseball. Shane would knock your teeth out. He is in Gallatin and I believe he is working for a local home builder.

In 1978 or 79 when Gallatin won the state it seems in the semifinal game they were down and had to punt and the returner touched the ball or fumbled it and Gallatin recovered.At the time there seemed to be the feeling that there was some controversy over it.I was in grade school,so I never got the specifics.Does anyone know what happened.Also,does anyone know what happened to Jeremy McMurry his sr. year that caused him not to start at t.b.?

 

 

 

There were no controversial plays in the Green Wave's 1978 AAA State Championship season. Gallatin routed a talented Memphis Carver team in the semi-finals game.

Could have been the quarterfinal game against Maplewood. Gallatin was leading 14-13 with under a minute remaining and kicked a short kick to prevent a run back. Maplewood attempted a 42 yard kick for the win but it was short. Gallatin caught the kick then fumbled it and then recovered the fumble to seal the win.

 

McMurry was injured most of his senior season. He also played some on defense his senior year.

Wasn't Robert Lassiter a pretty good QB there in the late 60s?

 

Yep. Robert Lassiter was the QB in 66',67', and 68'. They went 3-8, 5-4-1, and 10-1 during that span. His senior year he ran for around 900 yards and threw for almost 900. He helped Gallatin win the North Central Conference championship in 68'. He also played some defense and went to U of Tenneessee and played in college. He was one of the better Qb's that came out of Gallatin at that time.

Jeremy McMurry did play TB his senior season. Anyone who attended the state semifinal during his junior season at Henry County may remember a sideline tackle as Jeremy swept the right side. There are few bone-crushing blows I’ve seen like that in a high school game. He took a helmet and shoulder to the hip with both athletes at full speed. Jeremy was never the same tailback after that hit.

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
