Your School's Mt. Rushmore


Recommended Posts

well who would you put up there? Even if you disagree about the other two you gotta agree that reese mcmahan and Burstrom deserve spots.

Red Rebels and I would agree that Meathead...err, Tony Robinson was the first "great" player that WB ever had and a first ballot HOF'er at Alnwick. Led them to some big wins in the early days of the program. Junior Tillet could be another.

The unfortunate part of being a great player at the county schools, is that, in the past anyway, those guys were just not college material if you know what I mean.

Other names just to toss out there, 

Rusty Holmes, Chris Whitehead, Scott Satterfield, Mike White, Jr.,.......

WB is hard. I wish I had a list of All Blount County players. That is where I would start. But even then, there might be some that don't make that list, because of a loaded position at another school (even though they might be the best player on their team). I played with a Vol letterman, but he wasn't the best athlete on the team. The GOVMAN has done a lot for all sports at WB, but I don't think he is in the top 4. He could give us some names though. 91 is ignoring about 20 years of players.

WB has had good individual players throughout its history,like any team... But..... How many of those good players actually won football games? Like Lane Bloom, great player! But the teams he played on didn't win... If you are picking the top players of all time ,especially at a school like WB, you have to pick the guys who had the biggest impact on winning games.and Tyler Burtstrom and Mcmahan were guys who had big impact on winning games.... If you take Mcmahan off of the 2001 WB team do they upset Dobyns Bennett? No... And if you take Burstrom off of the 07 team do they still have the best team in school history? No
