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.

    • 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.
