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. 

All true. Sparks, Hammontree, Ellis, Torbush, Bates, Quarles and many more were all names that are a part of his coaching circle. All great men in their own right, but very few like him.

His players all heard about his exploits as a dual sport athlete at Farragut/Carson Newman and if I'm not mistaken he got a brief shot in the NFL. To this day though I'll never get over how good he was as a kicker and punter. He could execute a perfect drop kick from distance and his punts to us during warm ups were Reggie Roby-esque with hangtime!

    • RR, you might remember. Didn’t someone hide the kicking shoe that game? It seems I remember we had missed a kick the week before, and we needed all the points we could get. We thought we had a better chance going for two, so $?&@$ hid the shoe after the first miss that game. No one on our sideline looked for it very hard.
    • I will never forget the 1983 Heritage vs Maryville game. I remember driving home and listening to WGAP. Can't remember the announcers name. He asked Coach Story why he kept going for 2? Story told him " Why didn't you ask Renfro that last year"
    • TSSAA will let them all go to Mase.
    • Well nothing new, the Mustangs are really talented again this coming season!  They very well could go undefeated in regular season.  We shall see what happens in postseason.  I think the path to state title game is a little clearer than years past.  I think the Stangs are going to be really good and I think the traditional teams around in 2A are not going to be as strong.  It should be a fun season!
