Maryville Polytechnic was located at the present site of Maryville High School. This is looking towards Broadway. (It was called Main Street at the time.) The white building would be at the East corner of the stadium.

Kenny Hooper and crew if eye reemimburr rite StarRaider.....

Sir if you can remember opponent running back's numbers some 37 years after they played, I will have to trust you on that! Kenny Hooper was the QB I think ... alt1958 would know for sure, the Bears had a back named Wooden, Louie Alford was the coach, one of my friends Eddie Albornoz played on the line... he was one tough hombre'. Let's see Greg Geren was a really good DB on that team. And I think 'ol Bobby Delay had transferred back to BCHS that season from CHS, he switched back and forth about every year somehow. The Bears beat Cleveland 21-13 that year before beating Jackson Central Merry something like 50-49 for the AAA championship. And one of my favorite coaches Coach Z went over to the enemy that season to boot!

Kinny Hooper did play for Bradley back in the day, but he graduated in 79.  Not likely he contributed during the 1976 championship run.  He was a RB.

 

Bobby Delay was the kicker.  Other player names I recall were Chuck Atchley, David White, and others.. Greg Geren was QB when I saw them play...can't remember if it was beyond 76 or not.

 

And, yes, Eddie Albornoz was a beast...a real old-school head-knocker.

Scott Kyle was the quarterback on the '76 state title team. The Bears won 50-48 in 3 OT's. Kyle scored 32 points including the winning 2 point conversion. It stood as the state record for most point scored by one player in a playoff game for many years. Danny Wooden and Franklin Elmore were the running backs that led the Bears during '76. Hooper was prominent in the later '70's.

When did Bradley County become Bradley Central? 

'Cleveland High School' opened in 1886 on the south side of the city. In 1916 it was closed and moved to 'Charleston Pike', now known as North Ocoee Street at the present site of Ocooe Middle School. When it opened in 1916 it opened as 'Central High School'. In 1921 the name was changed to 'Bradley County High School' and then 'Bradley Central' in 1947.
