Guest TideRules Posted February 17, 2003 Report Share Posted February 17, 2003 Good choice I saw him play almost everyone of his games but I played with Randy Payne. Even though his criminal record is longer than his football record he did things on the field that were unbelievable.Too bad he had millon dollar skills and a ten cent brain.

pantherman Posted February 17, 2003 Report Share Posted February 17, 2003 Clay Whitehurst was good. I have seen his college room inhis house and he has a couple of nice awards along with a peach bowl ring i believe. Had a successfull career at alabama. Lewis county has had some good athletes with benji rainey, randall hankins, tyler bell, and wesley duncan at the top to name a few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRIBE1 Posted February 17, 2003 Report Share Posted February 17, 2003 The best player ever to come out of Dobyns-Bennett is a very hard choice, so take your pick. The two that automatically come to mind are Bobby Dodd and Bobby Cifers. Now that's a pretty hard choice. Both played college and pro ball. Dodd went on to have Georgia Tech's stadium named after him and Cifers went to UT was all world. Some other people to choose from would be Mike Faulkerson-Delaney(played at UNC and then with several pro teams), possibly Jeremy Graves, Adonis Johnson, and several other kids who were great high school players. Tribe fans, let me know what you think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFF Posted February 17, 2003 Report Share Posted February 17, 2003 The best player from Humboldt is Doug Atkins.All-Pro 9 times and elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in the early 80's.He was a senior on UT's 1951 NC team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BROKEDOWN Posted February 18, 2003 Report Share Posted February 18, 2003 Pepvol, Maryville was the state champion that year but like I said we only had an 8 game schedule. You had to win 8 games to make the playoffs. We had a loss. We didn't have the luxury of having a bad game. Either way for a while Maryville & loudon was equally matched. Remember in 75? 4 overtimes in the regular season and 2 overtimes in the playoffs. Anyway it's good to talk to someone who remembers those years. It seems so long ago. Good Luck to your rebels.

jaxoncm Posted February 18, 2003 Report Share Posted February 18, 2003 Off the top of my head two come to mind. First Ed "too tall" Jones of JCM, TSU,Dallas Cowboys. He was a three year all-state, two time All-American, no. 1 player taken in the 76 draft, nine time all-pro, two time superbowl winner, and is credited with the idea of blockingdeflecting the quarterbacks passes with his hands. Second would be Al Wilson of JCM, Tennessee, Denver Broncos. Two time all-state, three time All-SEC, All-American 98, 98 NCAA national Championship, selected in the first round of the 99 NFL draft, three time all-pro and counting. Look out, they say the Brookes kid that just graduated and signed with UT is far better than wilson was coming out of JCM.

Coe was the best all around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFan Posted February 19, 2003 Report Share Posted February 19, 2003 I remember Mike Casteel. I am sure he got run over by Herschel Walker, but wasn't it Bill Bates that got historically run over by him at the end zone? I don't remember folks talking about Mike Casteel getting run over. They always gave the tag to Bill Bates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
