Saw this on the 5A/6A boards and thought this would be fun for 1A/2A!

Curtis Woodard was the best from ER, best people don’t know about would probably be Rod Swearingen.

Brad Flamm was a good DB.  Ball lurking and lay the wood type guy.  Good player

Best player from Marion Co that most will know is Eric Westmoreland. All State and Mr Football. 3 state championships in 2A (1) and in 3A (2). 2 SEC Championships at TN and All American 2nd team. Won 1998 National Championship with the Vols and drafted in 3rd round.

 

Most won't remember Eddie Brown played for Marion before going on to Tennessee and becoming an All American. Drafted into the NFL and was a 2 time Pro Bowler. Led the NFL in punt ret yds in 76 and in kick returns 77. 8 career interceptions with 1 in the Super Bowl. Kids these days don't know the history of some of the players.

I've always thought that you folks should have a statue of Eddie as soon as you walk into Bill Baxter Stadium.

That's a thought

Best player I've seen at West Carroll is either Shane DePriest (Milan's Athletic Director) or Jacob Wynn. Jeremiah Bryant, Jacob's brother was electric but injuries haunted him for his soph and jr seasons.

In my opinion the best Athlete to come out of Marion was John David Martin.

Eddie lives in Greeneville now. Great fella, great baller in his day at all 3 levels. He would bring the Leather.
