Sherrod was a stud! Him and my sister were the same age. He was a tough as nails MLB, along with Joe Longest and Derrick Smith on that '93 team. Those were some tough a$% dudes on that OR team! Sherrod as far as I know is good. I do remember he had diabetes growing up though, but as far as I know he's fine.

is he still in Tn? Edited by Runswithknife

I'm not sure man. I saw his dad not too long ago at Wal Mart, but I don't know him personally. Remember how good our KO coverage team was the year he played? Teams were lucky to make the 15 yard line on us. Those guys killed people!

number 41 was the man! Roger Silvey . The kick off crazies . The best that I have seen in HS to date. Edited by Runswithknife

Best I've ever seen too, and I recall hearing a guy that coached against us saying it was the best he's ever seen before or since. Silvey was a wild man! He would just fly into that wedge and bust it up. All 5'8" 165 LBS of him. Fearless.

he was a legend, I used to hear that coaches would point number 41 out to the up and coming kids- and tell them how tough he was-and they would say- that's him? He is so small! Lol Edited by Runswithknife

Ha! Yeah, he wasn't big whatsoever, but man did he pack a punch. Strong little dude. My sister dated him in HS. Saw him a few years ago and he had dreadlocks and covered in tats lol! Also, Shawn Crowley would knock your lights out, too!

Back when I was in high school in the seventies Oak Ridge was the King of the Hill in AAA football and Maryville was in AA and we always scrimmaged them which helped make up better. Didn't matter who won or lost because it never went into the record books. Speed the clock up forty years and the shoe has reversed and I understand that Gaddis refuses to scrimmage Maryville. I have even heard there are no teams in East Tennessee that want to scrimmage Maryville this coming fall and they may have to go to middle Tennessee or even North Georgia just to get a scrimmage game. Oak Ridge is a pretty good football team and you would think the coach would get more out of a scrimmage with a team like Maryville then Seymour. Will somebody there tell me something I may not know or is Gaddis afraid of some competition that may help his team in the end like a Rhea County.

    • Shoulders dad graduated for TC, and Kyle began his coaching career early on at TC although he wasn't there long. Shoulders would be a homerun, but don't see him leaving Macon anytime soon. 
    • Announced last Thursday on Metro schools Social media
    • Perhaps it is within the realm of possibility that the comprehension of my discourse, both by yourself and others, may be circumscribed by the boundaries of intellectual acumen. Might one contemplate this notion from such a perspective? Allow me to clarify that my intent does not lean towards disparagement, save for instances where provocation is directed towards myself or the esteemed troupe of the Trousdale County Yellow Jackets who proudly find domicile upon the hallowed grounds of CREEKBANK. In contemplation of the candidates under discussion, it is conjectured that individuals such as Gregory, Woodmore, Vetetoe, Eden, Hackett, and Cothron may emerge as contenders. Regrettably, it is deemed improbable that Shoulders shall express interest in this pursuit. Speculation arises regarding the potential candidacy of BJ West, albeit the implications of familial ties with Lafayette introduce complexities to such a scenario. The enigma of Dr. Clint's deliberations looms large, fraught with the weight of a formidable decision yet to be made.
    • My kind sir, you seem to be lost within the time space continuum having traveled from the 16th Century or you aspire to hide your true intelligence by masking your language with that of the great playwright. You know good and well, your commentary takes your fellow comrades hours to decipher what you are really saying and most of them are likely left questioning whether you have insulted them or find them to be in your favor. I offer you some advice. In my travels through this area of the country, it is best to speak slow and with a twang and you don't annunciate  words to their fullest. Your points will be clear then!  Any names been mentioned around town as Actual Applicants to this job? Seen several post mentioning individuals, but I haven't heard of any of them except for Shoulders. Does he have ties to TC?  Have amy of the other names mentioned ever been in the HC position before? 
    • They’re building something special there. They have 4 Varsity games scheduled & 5 JV. They are trying for a 5th Varsity game. Beat them now because they will be good in the future. They are building a football field there I think but the rich pricks of Farragut won’t let them get lights so they are possibly looking at property to build a stadium & field with lights
