92  Franklin, Aubrayo  DT  6-1  317  1980-08-27  Johnson City, TN  Tennessee  San Francisco 49ers   

 

I pulled up this list with all these names on it from a quick 2 minute google search.A simple copy and paste effort from me. I'm sure it's potentially missing some important names on it, as well as lesser known NFL players that ever made a NFL roster in the past. Feel free to add to the list, and to correct any of my mistakes. 

Harrison Smith Safety, Minnesota Vikings, first round draft pick,  Played at Knoxville Catholic and Notre Dame. Has been a starter since his rookie year.  Randall Cobb Alcoa, Kentucky.  Signed a lucrative contract with Green Bay.

    • Sorry Barn. I wasn’t specific enough. It seems I’m always protecting the principal at 825. My interactions with her have been extremely positive, but very limited. With all the other stories being told, I’m confident there are other sides I am not aware of. Regardless, there are lots of decent people earning good checks up there. Maybe too good, which explains why no one is willing to speak up. My beef is with the poor communication among the athletic programs and with the administration. Seven years ago the poor communication led to my son missing graduation due to a sporting event that was planned months before. I chalked it up to the system being totally shocked that the baseball team made it out of their district, and our then AD was a football coach. Maybe they were surprised and did not plan appropriately. That was more palatable than they just didn’t give a crap. Déjà vu, seven years later, same thing. Different administration, but same result.  Maybe in seven more years, it will actually be “about the kids”. They should do better. 
    • That's a fair line. But if it's not over, that's a big problem.
    • RR, you think that changes this year, or at least improves? I know they had a couple of talented young receivers last year that made some plays later in the year. Defensive back was a struggle against any team that was above average at throwing the ball.
    • You would think they got a bunch of interest
    • You would think with football just three months away more would be talking. There's only so much a person can say about someone allowing the field to get painted without asking their boss who would have said ((((((((  ALE NO ))))))))) or all the other BULLS#!T they've done as they lead Maryville High into the new age of WOKE in a conversative town. I'm ready for some football news without hearing something coming out of 825 that Power Munger has done to cap off the week.
