Is this the same exact field Steve Spurier played on or has this campus been the same one since the beginning. Has Steve been around or dose he even still have family there.

The field Spurrier and myself a few years later played on was Memorial, sometimes called Memorial Soldiers Stadium on the south side of Town. The new stadium is on the Science Hill campus. Yes Spurrier matriculated from the current campus. It has a collegiate campus feel to it.

Who is Kermit Tipton the name on the new stadium, how did he gather the honors instead of the best known Football player to ever come out of that neck of the woods.

Kermit was Steve's coach. S.S. didn't want all the attention on him (rare right) but wanted it for his coach.

Coach Tipton was a highly successful coach at the Hill. He was Spurrier’s coach and the coach of several other Allstate or all American QBs. The Hill was sometimes referred to as Quarterback U. His able assistant Coach Bob “Snake” Evans replaced him when Tipton went into Administration. I played for Coach Evans. Steve Spurrier paid for the new field at the Hill. However, the old field at Memorial Stadium was also named after him. I have never met Coach Spurrier though I grew up in the same subdivision with his older brother Graham. Great guy and a friend. He passed away a year or so ago.

    • Well personally I see us going 9-1 so that isn't doom and gloom to me , Most people are thinking 6-4. Bearden will be the possible loss but hoping not. I was very impressed with what I saw this spring. 
    • the kid you are speaking about, played in JV games,  2H half Science Hill game, split time in Hardin Valley and Bearden and that was it.   The upcoming Senior RB was All Region as a Junior and is regarded by the media as one of the top running backs in East TN for 2024 season. Scouting services have him as a top 10 back in the state.  Something aint adding up with gloom and doom. Maybe he was hurt and not at spring practice when you watched?
    • It won't be long now, he gone.  
    • Are you kidding me?  You are just trolling now.  The new head coach's qualifications would be volunteer coach at the Oak Ridge Boys Club?  C'mon man, you can't be serious.  You're trolling us.  Anybody working at Clinton High School has to be like a cat in a room full of rocking chairs at this point.  They are coming after anybody and everybody that had knowledge of what was going on.  This is about to get real ugly.  Only in Clinton.  
    • So no way they can compete with the likes of McCallie or Baylor still then
