Was wondering if anyone could give me some help on this. Ive been racking my brain for 2-3 days. Im almost positive that Todd Upton and Albert Davis numbers are retired. Im just not sure what they were. I was thinking Upton was #70 and Davis was either #22 or #32. Its been ages since I was in the school or seen the old trophy/display cabinets that were in the hall (which have been removed I believe). Can anyone shed light on this or other numbers? I know currently Cobb's #7 is in semi retirement until next year.

Thanks Stars and APB. I knew about Upton and Davis UT #s but wasnt sure about their HS ones. I completely forgot about Parker. I was for sure that Davis was 32 in HS but also knew I had seen 22 retired somewhere. I know 7 comes back into play next year as they're doing 2 year retirements from what Ive heard.

Roomer haz hit APB haz hiz number retarred at AllinWick.... :shock:

It is true. On the last day of school in May 1982, I went into the equipment room in the "Covair Field House" and walked out of there with the 33 over my shoulder on the last day the school was open. 33 is now also forever inscribed on every bottle of Rolling Rock Beer.

Sounds like a good plot line for a movie to me...I am thinking along the line of the Blind Side...or maybe a commercial like the classic with Mean Joe Green, a Coke, his jersey and the kid.

Tommy Yates also has his number retired at Alcoa. I'm not for sure, but I believe he was number 52. This was before you had to wear a certain number because of your position. He was an All-Southern running back at AHS in Bill Bailey's early years as HC at Alcoa. There are many other great players in AHS history. Boomer Boring and several players that went to Georgia Tech and played. H. H. Lingenfelter and his brother Ronnie can help with that information. Bobby Phipps would also be helpful. When I went to AHS in 1969, Tommy and Albert, SR were the only players to have their number retired.

53 instead of 52. 52 has been used by many and is currently being used. 53 is retired.

Thanks Mr. Abbott, I didnt know about Yates having his number retired.

 

For the record my jersey is unofficially officially retired as I took all mine with me when I graduated :)

    • 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.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
