Who was the all-time greatest at your school?

[cradd4]

sandlotjunkie, you apparently never watched cannon whitby in a game to make that kind of statement

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!

Dobyns-Bennett High School - Skip Brown

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?

What about jason richardson and the post that played with copeland, ward i think is his name. Those two cats could play.

[SportsFan16]

he said that he was in range when he crossed half court.

Tony Delk was also in range when he crossed half court at his high school.

Does Ron Mercer count for Goodpasture. i guess so if slay counts for pearl cohn.

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.
