Who was the all-time greatest at your school?

[JohnnyBravo]

I've been watching Bradley/Cleveland @ least that long(25years). Yes, the players pre 1970 could adapt! These kids today practice year round!

12ncs. For your information, Joe Behling did not even make the team at Hillwood until his senior year. He will tell you himself he was AWFUL in high school. He then redshirted and sat the bench another year before becoming an all-american during his true third year in college. To say he was the best at Hillwood is ridiculous.

LCPanther95, both Albert Ellison and Mike Rhodes were better HIGH SCHOOL players than Kirk Haston. Obviously, he has improved greatly since then, but he was in no way as good as either Rhodes at Perry County or Ellison at old Linden High.

While I am at it. McGavock High-Fred Harris and Charles Davis.

I BELIEVE SKYHAWK SAID 2000 POINTS NOT 2000 SHOTS.HE WAS THE SECOND LEADING SCORER IN THE NATION HIS SENIOR YEAR AVERAGING 39.9 PPG.DROPPED 70 POINTS ON ONE TEAM AND OUTSCORED CARUTHERSVIILE,MO 64-59 BY HIMSELF.SCORED 3478 POINTS IN HIS CARRER.PLUS LED HIS TEAM TO THE STATE CHAMPIONSHIP HIS SENIOR YEAR.WITH SOMEBODY THAT COULD SHOOT LIKE THAT WOULDN'T YOU LET HIM TAKE AS MANY SHOTS AS HE WANTED.

Good point "bravo". Players today do pratice year round and they also lift weights and play only one sport or two. It is a shame to say but some parents also hold their kids back just to give them an edge in sports. Is Chad your alltime best? He is mine, nobody ever stopped him from scoring and he didn't have as many good players around him as some of the others.

Chad would be my all-time greatest pick!!! I loved to watch him play, and what I like is that he is one of Bradley's biggest supporters now. He missed very few big games this year. The ballplayers appreciate that!!!!

[JohnnyBravo]

Yes Tophat.... Chad Copeland was a spectacular basketball player! You knew you were going to be awed at his game.

That's a mouthful considering all the players who've ever came through the state.

Mike Rhodes was not only the best of all time at Perry County but possibly the best all time high school player in the state of Tennessee.
