In my opinion, GB should’ve had 5 on this list instead of 6. There is no way Wingo should be left off. If they keep leaving players of Wingo and  Raulston’s caliber off the list, the meaning of this award will start to diminish. If these 2 players didn’t deserve All-State, I for sure know that I didn’t!

This is an all state list guys not the all east team. 

Point taken but....if I’m building an All State team in Tennessee I’m taking Wingo toward the top of my list. We have good defensive players at GB but Wingo steam rolled us. He was just too big and powerful for our guys to handle in the secondary. He’s also one heck of a LB so how he got missed needs some investigating from the powers that be to keep the honor of the award intact. I am very happy my son made it and feel he deserved it but almost equally as disappointed for Wingo who honestly deserved to be on that list as well. He’s one of the best 1A players and had a great HS resume as an individual player with an Allstate senior performance sharing duties with Petty. Whitwell does not get past GB or win championship without both those stars.

Some of you are sounding like the participation generation. Everyone gets a trophy. Those guys are great players but so are the young men on the list. They all have great stats. That’s what makes this list elite and special for the players on it. Who comes off to put your players on? Tough question. I’m sure the ones who chose the list worked every angle.

    • Agree. The man literally sacrificed time, moments, memories you can't get back with his own family for every single athlete at that school. (and many others) To those that continue to be negative about him and continue to bring him up; He's been loyal, hardworking and just his entire coaching career. Ask anyone that actually has a leg to stand on in regard to Coach.
    • Egotistical? That's a new one.  It's funny, I'm friends with two of the younger coaches that he "ran off" as you say. In fact, he helped them find jobs, encouraged them to do what was best for their growing families, provided advice, support and still does to this day.

    • Track has always been big at OR. Ran off about 7 straight titles in the 60s. Your hate for Gaddis runs deep, huh? What did he ever do to you, to make you disdain him that much? You can’t seem to stop talking about the guy. He’s living rent free in your head. Might wanna get that checked out, you don’t wanna go to the grave with that on your heart.
    • This late in the year, you’d have to think they’d go with an Asst. on staff, right? I’m pretty new to the area so still learning how folks do things around here…if Woods stays there to teach, it could be hard on a new guy/staff coming in…
