eyeonu Posted September 8, 2004 Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 Taylor and Harris at White House were studs, as was Turner at Portland and Brown at Westmoreland. Taylor and Harris had to take punishment, getting more than 20 carries a game. Turner and Brown would top the century mark in four or five carries. Turner was just a burner, and Brown just had great vision and lateral quickness. Those two were smaller backs in offenses designed to spread the wealth. I'm not sure if they could have taken the punishment of getting 20-plus carries every week. Brown was a two-time Mr. Football winner, and I believe Turner won it once as well.

Sensation Posted September 8, 2004 Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 You have to add Jeremy McMurry to the list somewhere. Gallatin's all-time leading rusher. Over 2,200 yards for Gallatin's '92 State Championship team. Around 1,500 as a sophomore for the '91 State Runner-Up. "Goo-Baby" Woods would have to be #2 from Gallatin. Both played against some great competition for some very good Gallatin teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruiser79 Posted September 10, 2004 Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 (edited) there was a rb from greenbrier, derrick lucas, that was a mr football as a junior and ran for around 2,500-2,700 yards that same year. what makes it more remarkable is that he was deaf and could not communicate with his line and teammates. i dont know if you want to call him one of the best but he was one of the best to come from greenbrier Edited September 10, 2004 by Bruiser79 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vols#1 Posted September 11, 2004 Report Share Posted September 11, 2004 1. Kevin/Keith Cobb -Cleveland 2. Dante Hicky-Cleveland 3. Riggs- Red Bank 4. Lavonte Barber- Cleveland 5. Troy Fleming 6. Dameatrius Fields-Cleveland 7. Brandon Fields-Cleveland chs that list has several cleveland backs on it but you seem to have left out the best one of all, stefon woods, that cat was awsome, i played against the field brothers and they werent near as good as woods, i saw woods play smyrna in the final game before the title game and it was at smyrna. woods was the best back i ever saw play in this state hands down. now thats just out of all i seen play live or played against. LA wildcat i played for white county and 98 was my last year when we came to livingston and beat yall up. our tailback ran for 190 yards on your defence. as for the best back i played against it has to be rashad howse from lavergne.

rlh Posted September 11, 2004 Report Share Posted September 11, 2004 (edited) DCA[/url]T#12,Sep 9 2004 - 06:12 PM]can't forget orlando "papa" wade from spring hill in 86-87. 825334188[/snapback] I distinctively remember him running for the sideline in the second half of '86 state championship game. How much did the City of Springhill pay the refs for that game in order to entice Saturn to move there? In overtime, there was no official on the goal line when Carl Lehr ran for 2 pts. He was called a .25" short based on the spot regardless of the surge. We won't mention the 1st half play. Lehr probably set the state record on 2 pt conversions that season.
