Gambler Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 Stan, In the old days there was no state champion crowned in Tennessee football. Any "state "championship was purely mythical. You played ten games and then maybe a bowl. The clinic bowl was held on Thanksgiving I believe and would feature teams such as MBA, Ryan and Litton who were the powerhouses of the time. As more schools were opened in the Nashville area, the talent became more spread out. Don Harris, a referee who teaches at Whites Creek put out a magazine in the 70's called "NIL Magazine" that contained a pretty in-depth history of Nashville area football from the 40's to the 70's. I still have a copy from 1974. Perhaps he might have one left over somewhere. Let me know what you dig up.

JordanLynn Posted October 3, 2016 Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 The 1967 Clinic Bowl was my last high school football game for Stratford. Unfortunately, my memories of the game are a little fuzzy courtesy of Sandy Haury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JordanLynn Posted October 3, 2016 Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 Stratford opened in '62 or '63. I believe Donelson beat them in the 1965 Clinic Bowl. Chuck Steagald led the Dons team that year. I believe Mike Jones was the star for Stratford. http://staging.coacht.com/boards/public/style_emoticons/#EMO_DIR#/rolleyes.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cpeterson Posted December 21, 2016 Report Share Posted December 21, 2016 'BWoodcock' could you help me out? I am trying to track down some contact information for this David Campbell for my dad who wants to reconnect with an old college buddy. I sure am having a hard time finding anything other than high school and college football rosters. Any chance you know a middle name or something else that could help? Thanks.
