John Hudson-Henry County

He won a Super Bowl Ring as the long snapper for the Baltimore Ravens.

 

 

Bill Hudson-Grove High-Paris (John's dad)

Buffalo Bills

 

John Hudson played at Henry County High. He played 4 years at Auburn University then was drafted by the Buddy Ryan's Philadelphia Eagles following his performance in the Senior Bowl in Mobile, AL. He later played 5-6 years for the NY Jets before joining the Baltimore Ravens in 2001 where he was part of the Super Bowl Champion team.

 

His father, Bill Hudson played college football at Memphis State and was drafted by the San Diego Chargers where he played 1 season before finishing his career after 12 years with the Buffalo Bills. His final year in Buffalo was O.J. Simpson's rookie year. Bill was an assistant principal/disciplinarian for many years at Henry County High where we all learned to "toe the line"!

 

Both Bill and John are members of the Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame and both have roamed the Henry County Patriot sideline as coaches following their pro careers. John currently is a member of the HCHS coaching staff where he serves as an assistant under his former head coach James Counce. Even more remarkable is that John Hudson is NOT a volunteer coach showing up just in time for practice....he also is a history teacher at Henry County High!

Mcminn County - Shazzon Bradley with the Eagles

 

Bradley County- Linebacker? I think his name was Dale something played at UT in the 80's and went on to play at

Dallas.

 

Jefferson County- Had a linebacker that played in the mid 80's high school that knocked Shazzon out cold on the

opening kick-off in the first round of the playoffs in 87 I think, he went on to play many

years for the Patriots.

 

 

Maybe someone can fill in these names.

Dale Jones was the Bradley linebacker but I did not remember him playing in the NFL. I think he coaches at Appy State now.

 

The JeffCo LB played at Georgia (had a brother there too I believe) was Brent Collins. I think he might of had a brother that went to Georgia too, not sure though.

 

McMinn also had a guy that should have played in the NFL (Hubert Simpson) if he would have kept his head on straight.

The Jeff Co brothers were Todd and Brent collins. Both ended up at Carson-Newman. I know Todd played on two Superbowl Teams New England and St.Louis was lucky enought to have State Championship at Jeff Co, National Championship at C-N, and Superbowl. very nice Ring collection.

    • 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.
