Fastest`s player`s in East TN

[GOLONG]

One name that has to go on the list is Scooter Houston I watched him with my own two eyes run a 4.29 THAT`S FAST

There is only one person in high school in Tenn.that has ever run a 40 in 4.29 and

that was Matt Shelton from a team in in the western part of the state. He was considered one of the top 5 fastest high school players in the nation that year.

Deion sanders ran a 4.28 at Florida State. So if somebody says a kid runs a

4.29 it's wrong.

Scooter Houston got spanked by 2 other runners in a 100 meter. He did not lead the race at any time. He is not that fast. He might be quick, but fast he is not. One of those guys that spanked him was a freshman, the other a sophmore.

If you are refering to the state meet, Houston did not run the 100m at state, only the 400m where he finished 5th in 50.32...and anyone who can run a time like that is fast.

yeah.....i here that this derek clark kid out of maryville is one of the fastest people around. he is a lineman because of his immense size and strength but like he never lost a track meet all year last year. you better watch out for this kid.

I think what people are failing to realize is that their is a difference between speed and game speed. Scooter has game speed, and thats what makes him fast.

Matthew Hassle is the fastest player in all of Tennessee. He runs a 4.3 with his pads on.

That's interesting... because I've always assumed {and yes, I know what happens when we "a-s-s-u-m-e"}that there are three tenths of a second (average) difference in pads and track uniform; or at least that's what my college coaches told me......about a million years ago. Some of the coaches here might want to verify or denounce those numbers. The obvious point here? Well, I won't dispute the "4.3 in pads," but well, man, that's awfully fast.

scooter from jeff county is one of the fastest but his full back jeff jennings weighs 225 and ran a 4.5 and i think he did get clocked at a 4.29 last year really but he has gained about 20 lbs this year i know for a fact he ran a 4.38

Anthony Anderson from east ridge high school out of chattanooga is the AAA state champion in the 100 meter last year. If he is the not THE fastest then he is defenitely in the top three in east tn. I saw him play last friday at the 4a jamboree at east ridge and he looked great running and catching the ball. Look for him to have a great season this year.

I would have to say that the fastest players would have to be from AE and Fulton due to the fact that Fulton and AE are in the hardest division in the state!!!!!!!!

I don't know but Albert Harris won the 50 yard dash at the jamboree. He stumbled and walked down Gibson. I sat in the stands with Gibson's brother Javon (former AE RB) and we couldn't believe Albert Stumbled then beat Tyler. Anthony McCallister won the linemen race twice.

Kelvin Turner is fast, but he is no longer at Kingston. Josh Wade ran neck and neck with him. Who do you all think are the faster players in Roane County. Ellery Harvest, The Pendergrass kid, and Beason from Rockwood. Wade and McMillan from Kingston.
