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.

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! :D

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.

    • 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.
