Who is Rhea County's best players ever?

[sportsfan23]

Forgot about Caleb Wilson QB what a arm does anyone know if he is starting this year.

 

I remember reading that when Caleb graduated he was one of only five players to throw for over 5 thousands yards in their career. Pretty impressive, even tho he had a knack for throwing interceptions. He would have had a higher completion percentage if it weren't for all the dropped passes. His athleticism was underrated. Not saying he was one of the best players ever but the kid could play some football.

joe oggs was a pretty good running back. i beleive he had a 2000 yard season in 1990 as a junior and 1800 in 1991. that smith kid that played wih him was really fast but was limited to injuries his junior and senior years .derrick howerton was a talent as quarterback that year in 90. chris reeves 1990

Andy Kelly.

[coldboy07]

Obviously, I think Andy Kelly is probably the best known. If I'm not mistaking he was All-American, and might possibly have been named HS player of the year? Don't quote me on that. Everyone knows how he ended up.

 

Matt Riggs was a great receiver. I wish he would have went D1 with one sport instead of going to Tusculum in route of dual sports. His speed was amazing. Even ran one track meet his senior year, and holds a handful of school records from that one meet.

 

Garmony was all over the field. Nobody could say enough about the things he did for RC football.

 

To answer a previous question about Caleb, I don't believe he is starting at University of the Cumberlands.

joe oggs was a great running back and very exciting to watched...if he had a little more breakaway speed he could have been a big time prospect. anyone else remember that 360 spin move he put on one game? i can't remember for the life of me who it was against but it was beautifullll.

Corey W was a great player....no one could stop that bubble screen play. if he would have had some heart to go with his ability he could have been amazing....Brown is an amazing athlete but he's been underutilized through his whole career, he should have had the ball more last year. i dont know that McKinnon was the greatest safety in history but he could lay a lick.

I know Andy Kelly is going to be the 1st name out of everyone's mouth but who are the other most notable players, when did they play, and what position did they play.

I didn't know there were any "notable" players other than Andy Kelly at Rhea Co.......... /roflolk.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflolk:" border="0" alt="roflolk.gif" /> /roflol.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflol:" border="0" alt="roflol.gif" /> /roflolk.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflolk:" border="0" alt="roflolk.gif" /> /roflol.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflol:" border="0" alt="roflol.gif" /> /roflolk.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflolk:" border="0" alt="roflolk.gif" />

I am attempting to understand what you say, but your sentence structure is horrific. By the way.....your last sentence is ludacris........

[supereagle]

yeah they really got screwed over last year didnt they?? hahaha....dumb dumb post man. Rhea has had plenty of "notable" players Brandon..

 

as far as corey goes, from what i heard from his teammates he never worked out or really gave his all on the field...i actually was told by one of his teammates that he said he would drop a pass over the middle on purpose because he didnt think it was worth getting hit

The race card and politics.......sounds like an election year.... /rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />

 

As a coach, wouldn't it be the right thing to play the best players with the best attitude that gives the team a chance to win? Aren't coaching jobs determined by the W-L column?

 

Let's stick to the topic.......who are "notable" players in Rhea Co's long history? /popcorneater.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":popcorneater:" border="0" alt="popcorneater.gif" />

[wrestlerbk160]

What about the running back for the '81 team? Jamie Pankey! I have seen all the old game films from that year and he looked like a force. He was a very hard-nosed runner! It's hard to believe that noone mentioned him considering that he was the leading rusher on 1 of only 2 teams that made it to the state title game. I also believe he came within 100 or 150 yards of Alonzo Banks rushing record. Pankey also holds the records for most yards in a game and most rushing attempts in a game.

 

As for Cory Wilson, he was a great football player but he prefered to get into trouble and have discipline and attitude problems so he was no where near as sucessful as he could have been.

 

Casey McKinnon was to small to play anywhere. He was a great player that had a lot of heart but heart doesn't make up for being 5' 9" and 160 lbs.

 

Has everyone forgotten Brandon McLeroy? I don't know how you could forget a guy that is 6' 5" and 325 lbs. Brandon is the starting right guard at MTSU.

 

Caleb Wilson was a good quarterback. He had some problems with recievers dropping passes but alot of his interceptions were his fault for making bad reads and trying to force the ball. Caleb is playing at University of the Cumberlands and he is not starting. I am told by his Grandfather that he is really frustrated about it though.
