A couple that I don't think have been mentioned--

Carl "Goo Baby" Woods-- Gallatin, early 80's

Travis Stephens-- Clarksville Northeast, mid 90's

Kurston Biggers--- BA, mid 90's

Andy Rutledge-- Baylor, mid 70's

Jeff Peebles, MBA, late 60's

Lonnie Sadler-- Madison, early 70's

 

I second the nominations of Preston Brown and Leroy Thompson. Santanio Beard was good, but I watched him go 80 yds for a TD on his 1st carry against MBA in '98 and then gain 15 yds on 16 carries for the rest of the game--- I think he was more of a beneficiary of some great O lines than a really great back. Finally, I've never seen a better run at any level than Alvin Duke's 58 yd TD to win the '94 Clinic Bowl.

    • A lot of people don’t realize how valuable JMO was. QB, safety, punter and holder on pat’s. Kid did it all. I fully believe if he was healthy Dburg would have made it to the ship last year. 
    • If Dyersburg quarterback who is also starting safety hadn’t got hurt it would of another blowout 
    • For perspective the county school I’m associated and graduated from only has 7,600 people in the entire county with a median age of roughly 47. That’s not very many 14-18 year olds to choose from. I think the football team had 25-28 kids or around there.  On the other hand Shelby County has 916,000+ with a median age of 36. This isn’t just about Shelby county, but all the big ones with huge economic advantages!  An urban/rural split would benefit tons of smaller schools that have to compete with counties with 120x the amount of people. Especially the ones who can pick and choose their players from a pool like that!   I also agree with Pujo about charter and magnets and they will eventually be phased into the private divisions because it is obviously an advantage plus all the funding! Add that county schools can’t go recruit outside of their county like charters and magnets! 
    • They should be starting next week and go from there.  They never do Spring Practice in April
