York's best team would be when my dad played in about 68' I think, only York Boys team to ever make it to the state tournament and that was when there weren't different classes. Nicky Whited was the star, from what the Athletic Director and my dad (of course my dad is partial because it was his bestfriend)have told me, he was the best player to ever go to York, but he was killed shortly after the end of his highschool career.

Nicky Whited was my cousin. He played ball before i was born. My parents would tell me how great of a player he was. Tragically,he murdered by a woman when I was 5/6 years old.

Maryville High School in 2007 won the 3A State Title. 30-7

 

Best players were Aaron Douglas and Jordan Damron

 

Crazy thing is in the regional final at Powell. Powell beat Maryville by 20. Maryville won a close game vs Science Hill on the road at Sub State. At the State Tournament Maryville beat Bradly in overtime,Beat Whites Creek in a close game and won over Clarksville in overtime.  Wasn;t that dominant team like the Dane Bradshaw led White Station team or those loaded Memphis East  team coached by Penny Hardaway.

perry county '97

coach:bruce slatten

best player:Kirk Haston

record:37-0

 

Kirk Haston then went on to play for Indiana U.He is in top ten scorers for iu.Then went on to play for the Charlotte Hornets.But he was just one of many great players on the team.

I played in the State against Hastons my sophomore year. He taught me what a real big time college player would look like.
