Jermaine Shephard from Clinton should definitely be on this least. He was Nate Robinson before Nate Robinson was. This guy was well under 6 feet tall and could easily drop 30 points and excite the crowd with electrifying dunks. One of the greatest 2 sport athletes this state has ever seen.

 

Halston Lane from Oak Ridge was a top notch player as well. He signed and played for Georgia Tech out of high school before transferring to a smaller venue.

 

Travis Williams from Oliver Springs was a great PG. Scored over 2,000 career points and led a team from the AA cellar to back-to-back state tournaments.

Not sure if you guys remember Eric Howard from Giles County, but I know we do. One of the fastest pgs ever, and he was one of the main reasons Tyler was the player he was back then. He hit the second biggest shot for GC to win the State Championship, the first being Fletch's half court miracle to beat Bolivar, which if I remember had a couple of these players on it then. Eric Howard the real weezie.

I cant believe that Tony Delk from Haywood Co. and Cannon Whitby from Obion Central were left out of everyone's list. And, I really cant believe that nobody has mentioned Penny Hardaway from Memphis Treadwell! Also, what about Bobby Parks from Middleton? Wow, what a basketball player. And, from long, long ago, Bailey Howell from Middleton, who went on to play for Miss. St. and played in the NBA. Also, a Reaves fella from Bolivar was tough. He also went on to play in the NBA.

 

Also, back when I was in high school, Bolivar had two fellas that could play ball with anyone...Elvis Mitchell and Jose Crisp. Elvis was a shooting machine, and Jose was a 6'8" bruiser, who led the nation in rebounding at Tenn. St.

    • Upperman White County both will be loaded. Dyersbirg and South Side will be a handful as well. Getting about that time in about 3 weeks we start watching summer scrimmages. Dyersburg loaded loaded loaded with talent. Most talent ever I have seen in their program. 
    • We, SP, blanked them 10-0 in sectional game during 21 season.
    • The amount of people pooing on UH is crazy. They're a noticably better team than last year when they made state and were competitive , AND they run ruled Eagleville a few weeks ago. Now I understand Eagleville was missing a few guys, but they still. They. Run. Ruled. Eagleville. 1st single A team to run rule Eagleville since when? Pre 2017??
    • If that Yellow Paint is all gone I'll flat bet it didn't wash off there. I bet that took some scrubbing to remove that if it is gone. Lacrosse is one of those northern sports all these misplaced Yankee's that are posion to the community brought in by  (Blount Partnership, ( The Devil) with them so somebody allowed them to paint their markings on the field that cost more than the twenty top people on payroll at Maryville make a year. All this to please the 1% Club and the 25 people that would come to see it. All in the name of WOKE!!!!!!
    • They will probably, struggle
