You are crazy. He did not run that fast. If he ran that fast he could skip college and go straight to the pros.

Are you trying to say that this guy was one of the top 5 forty times of all time and he did not play college ball? Please, you do not have to lie about a guys speed on here, you are just ruining your credibility and know one will ever believe anything you say.

a 4.4 or 4.5 that sounds reasonable. man, that is still lightning fast! if he did run a 4.1 or 4.2, which doesn't sound right, he would be a little faster than michael vick---and that boy is just immortally quick!

i also have a couple of great players never to make it to college: joe longmire from bruceton in the early 90s or late 80s. i think he is their all-time leading rusher--and they've had some awesome RBs. another one is reggie gordon, DE from huntingdon in the mid-90s. i've seen film where he hit a kid from riverside so hard in a game that he the kid quit football. perfect form tackle.--couldn't believe my eyes.

Where can we start with some of South Pitt's players that never made it off the corner at Favorite Market.

 

Perry Hutchins QB/DB 91-94 (Could have played at his choice of SEC schools),

 

Corey Tipton TB/DB 93-95 (Division 1AA Tenn Tech, U.T.C, MTSU, Austin Peay)

 

Aaron Chambers DT/OT 96-99 1A MR. Football Lineman 1999 could have played anywhere in Division 1AA, walked on at Tennessee but couldnt stand the heat.

 

Sam Pickett TB/DB 96-99 MTSU, ETSU, UTC, TECH, MEMPHIS, OLE MISS (6 touchdowns in clinic bowl)(4.3 forty)

    • Personally I was pulling for Lee Hammonds to get another shot. He’s earned it! 
    • Tyler Williams was the logical choice to be named head football. He served as the Highlanders’ strength coach and offensive coordinator.
    • I went to practice yesterday and liked what I saw for the most part. Derek and crew have done a good job during the off-season. I was very impressed with the size of some of those boys on the offensive line. My only regret was one of the boys I was really pulling for to have a good year was dismissed from the team. I have to applaud the coaches for setting examples for the others, no one is bigger than the team. One other thing, I was hoping with that big rain we got this week some of that  yellow paint would dissolve but it didn't.  
    • Couple of thoughts: 1.  I just don't understand all the intricacies in TSSAA transfer rules anymore.    William Blount had a kid that played the final part of the basketball season with them this year,  that played at Hardin Valley last year, and played football for Bearden this year.  I say that to say, I know the coaches and the AD and the Principal at WB and I will never believe they would do something they knew was wrong.  They are men of character.  I BELIEVE the same thing about the coaches and administration at Maryville.  Call me gullible, but these are men and women of integrity in my experiences with them. 2.  Much like the transfer of the Clemmer kid a couple of years ago, with Smith, the football team is getting a huge boost, but the impact on the basketball team will be just as great or maybe even greater.  With Smith playing post, it frees the Sigmund kid who will be coming back from injury, to play more with his face to the basket.  The Rebels basketball squad in my mind, will be "the program" in East Tennessee next year.
    • Could not agree more. After this year, McKenzie's new coach will have their work cut out for them. Staying in 1A would definitely be a huge plus. Most years there is not much difference in the top 5- 1A and 2A teams across the state, but after the top 5 or so there is normally a huge drop off for 1A. Regular season region play is a lot easier for 1A in West TN  right now.
