Great State Champion of the past

[UpperCumberlandMan]

1970 Central

Gene Windham's squad went 12-0 and averaged 48 points per game while surrendering only six points a contest. There were 27 college signees on this team, which means some non-starters played collegiate sports. Central's Leo Martin won two national titles at Oklahoma, while David Parsons played at Tennessee. Leon Alexander played at Mississippi State, while David Alsup played at Vanderbilt.

 

Here are the scores from their games in 1970: 62-0 over Tullahoma; 46-0 over Lebanon; 48-0 over Lawrenceburg; 48-6 over Springfield; 50-6 over Bradley County; 20-7 over Gallatin; 20-0 over Battle Ground Academy; 36-7 over Columbia; 62-13 over Crossville; 20-7 over Clarksville; 26-14 over Bristol; 36-0 over Memphis Melrose in title game.

I had the opportunity to play against them in the Semis (Tenn. High). They were much bigger and had all that talent. Although they beat us by twelve, it was not that close. We scored to make it

14-8, then they came right back to go up 26-8. We got a late TD to make it look respectable,

26-14. Leo Martin (I think that was his name) was a monster.
