1959 - Alcoa state champions with wayne dixon hitting his free throws at the end of the game. he got these because he stayed low on defence and got a hand in the shooters face and boxed out then played hard on offence and got the foul at the end of the game and free throws for the win. after this game he reallized....you gotta love it men!

I am friends with Joe and I know the story well. With your arguement, I would say that Jermont Wade was the most dominant during his time at Hillwood(90-91). Hathaway was a decent player for the toppers as was Cooperwood. Joe developed into an excellent player while at Belmont. He might not have been the best during his High School career, but he is the best that the school has ever produced in my opinion. Did you go to school at Hillwood? If so, what years?

For his size and athletic ability Whitby was as good as they get in High School. He took his team to the State Championship game by himself. They had one other decent player in the post. Whitby was a great shooter, who played without the 3 point line. Fred Jenkins was a great high school player. Big, strong, fast and could play all 5 positions. Sylvester Gray simply could not be stopped in high school. I wonder what ever happened to him. Billy Holt for Elkton High in the 70's was a great scorer.

 

Murfreesboro Riverdale in the mid 80s had two brothers that played and one of them could light it up from outside. I forget their names but they were fun to watch.

 

This is really a good topic, whoever started it should get a couple of good marks.

PulaskiVol,

 

I think the player that you are thinking of from Riverdale is Tim Corder (MTSU ?) . I remember going to watch him play against Cookeville @ Cookeville. Cookeville had Ronnie Robinson (UT) and Sasha Danolovich (NBA I think for a while), Riverdale spanked them. There was a running joke around 7AAA about Corder and his age.....seemed like he was @ Riverdale for a looooong time. Funny thing is...I was at an AAU game this weekend @ Riverdale and there was a kid playing there who's name was ....you guessed it.....Tim Corder...I wanted to ask him if there was any relation....but never got around to it.

    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
