Anyone know a p. Billings? My son found his high school state championship ring in Chattanooga, 1998.  Pretty ring!  We would like to get it back to him!

Could be Pete Billingsley, they may have misspelled his name. He was secondary coach at Maryville during that time and one of my favorite coaches ever. Unfortunately he passed away a few years back, but I know a few people who'd be able to help get that ring back to his family.

The Farragut and Carson-Newman grad Pete Billingsley,  correct?

Pete Billingsley was a great, great man. After a great HS career at Farragut, he was a great athlete at Carson-Newman. Following his playing career, he had a successful coaching career at Farragut, Maryville, CAK, Lenoir City, Rhea County, as well as a stint in GA. He was a great follower of Christ and led many FCA small groups at all the schools he coached. He passed away in 2020 and was greatly loved by many people he interacted with in the schools he worked. His family is still in Knox and Blount counties and would greatly appreciate this lost item.

I,watched him play in in high school, and we had a close common friend who was a teammate of his at Carson-Newman.  Got to have conversations with him on several occasions. 

Great player, class act.

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
