Cannon Whitby, Obion Co. Central, University of Arkansas

 

Whitby is still the All-Time leading scorer in Tennessee, and the three point line had not come into play yet. If he had played with the three point line you could have added about 2,000 points to the record.

Sevier County High School

Class of 91'

-Mark Newman 6'9" do it all player led SCHS to the region finals in 90' as a junior to be put out by one of Science Hill's great teams by less than 5 points. His senior year, SC won the region and advanced to the state tourny to be put out by a team from Memphis. He earned first team all-state and signed with MTSU to play for some coach that got replaced soon after Mark signed and Mark left after his Freshman year to grades and resurfaced at a Juco and never got out. Wake Forest offered him a scholarship via prep school and he declined. USC Trojans offered, too far from home. He went to Middle only because of the coach. Fierce competitor and leader who had NBA talent, but didn't make it in the classroom.

Oh really? He hit 2,000 shots that would be threes today?

 

I'll take exaggerations for $80,000,000, Alex.

LOL.... he must have been one heck of a ball hog to shoot that many long balls over 4 years.... Lets say he averaged 50 percent from long range, and that's being very generous, he would have to shoot 4000 three's in 4 years.... that's almost impossible unless he was the only person shooting.... some ppl are funny!

Question: Have all of you considered that until the mid seventies the road just to the regionals for the single A schools consisted of defeating AAA powerhouses? So until then, you wouldn't have heard of many of the great ones. Best example: Unaka, Cloudland or Happy Valley would have to defeat the likes of Science Hill or Elizabethton to advance; thus, until that time these are Apples/Oranges comparisons.

That being said...

Cloudland: Grady Hill

Happy Valley: Marty Street.

Elizabethton: Dennis Mckesson (sp).

Hampton: Tolley, Barry Phillips, Malone,

Unaka: Amazing what skinny little Aaron Dugger accomplished: 100 points in three games of the 2000 Arby's Classic against overwhelming competition. All-Star in 2000 European Tour. Will be college All American.

 

Michael Burrow.

 

Pre-Divisional play:

Dallas Williams

Johnny Taylor.

 

Nothing though, quite like Eddie Holly.....again, Science Hill, Elizabethton, those Early seventies Erwin/Unicoi County Powerhouses; Elizabethton twice yearly.
