Antoine Scott, without a doubt, the most highly recruited player in Briarcrest history. Went to Ole Miss, where he was a 2 year starter, despite receiving offers from NCSt, FSU, UT, and several others, he was a man amongst boys. Currently playing Arena Football, and preparing himself for the NFL combine in May.

I am going back 20 years, but I have kept up with Brentwwod Academy football since 1976 and I believe I am right in saying Jimmy Hockaday was our best all-around athlete. He was about 6'4" and 215 lbs, and a legit sub 4.5 40 yard dash. He was every list's All-American, and left high school as one of the most prolific recievers in the history of US high school football. He had offers from practically every school in the country. Georgia was coming off a National Championship year his senior year, and as an 18 year old kid, he was impressed. He went there and basically blocked for running backs(Herschel Walker among others) his whole career as a wide out. A total talent waste. He went to the Chicago Bears for a while, but dropped off the scene.

 

If you ask the "Old Timers", they will tell you he could not be covered. He caught 3 touchdowns in the State Championship game against an awesomely talented Knoxville Rule. His 3 touchdowns came against Terry Minor(early 80's Clemson scandal) covering him. Of course, he had one of the definite top 5 all-time quarterbacks throwing to him...Kent Austin(Ole Miss, St. Louis Cardinals, and MVP of the Grey Cup in Canada). What an awesome matchup! BA hasn't had that kind of talent since! This includes the 1996 State Championship team. :D

I'll agree on Hockaday. My entire family are Georgia fans and my dad used to talk about him and said that he was great. He played on some great bulldog teams so he must have been talented. Gotta give Tito Lee a mention and the big lineman Bubba something credit too though

 

You mean Bubba Miller. Starter at center for the Philadelphia Eagles.

Bernard Jones would have to be the greatest ever at Polk County. Was highly recruited by several SEC schools in the late 70's early 80's. He blew out his knee his the spring before his senior year and that ruined his chacnce to go on to the next level. Also Josh Couch would have to rank up their as one of the greates although he has yet to sign with any college and it looks like he isn't going to.

    • And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…
    • Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads. 
    • Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.
    • After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time. 
    • Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
