Best players to ever play at Union City?

[grlsbball]

Wasn't there a guy from Union City in the late 70's named Tojo or something like that. Anyways he went on to be a professional wrestler.

Tom Jernigan class of 64 was a all state quarterback received a 4 yr full scholarship to the university of Tennessee at knoxville. He played in a few bowl games. Was on the 1967 national championship. State decathlon winner. Scouted by MLB @ 15 years old. the down side was the teams he played for in the early 60s were not that good. A article in newspaper early in season stated he could be considered the best athlete ever in union city history.

Anybody remember Jimmy Young? Or was it Bobby ? He was pretty darn good in the early to middle 50's.

Dr. Bobby Young.  Obgyn in UC.  I thought he played at Memphis State.

I played with Tommy in high school. Tommy had size, strength, and speed. He played qb but could have played any position on the team. To win the state decathlon, he had to be good in 10 events. I have been a UC fan since we graduated in 1964. I don't remember anyone who has been a better overall athlete for the Tornadoes.

Demetrius Bracey jumped over me in the 400+ yard performance. That night made me sick. I did have about 20 tackles that night tho
